Cincinnati video production.
Wilbur is a Cincinnati video production company. This is home. Over-the-Rhine, Hyde Park, Mason, across the river: we know these streets, and the people who work them.
The work
Recent work.
Welcome Home, a scripted spot for New Heights Roofing. A family coming home to a roof they can trust. It ran on connected TV.
More films
More from the same crew.
The people who'll show up in Cincinnati, on very different work. National brands, product films, the local businesses people count on.

Video production in Cincinnati
A river city that can tell when it's real.
People here notice when an ad could be from anywhere. What earns their attention is the place as it is: OTR brick, the river at dusk, a crew on a real Tri-State roof. We live here, so we shoot it that way.
Where local video goes wrong
- A crew that has never met your customers
- Stock and templates that could be any city
- One video, and no plan for where it runs
- Beautiful footage that never earns its keep
How we work
Close to home, made to run.
We listen first, then shoot on location in Cincinnati with a director on set and time to find the real moment. What comes back is a film, a library, and every cutdown the plan needs.
01
Listen first
Learn the business, the people and what's at stake, then build the story and the script around it.
02
On location
Director-led doc, narrative, or hybrid, shot across Over-the-Rhine, Downtown & The Banks, Hyde Park, Oakley, with stills for the campaign too.
03
Edit, color, sound
Finished in-house with patience, then cut for every place it runs, from a :06 bumper to a full spot.
04
Put it to work
We don't hand off a file and walk away. The work runs across your channels, from Meta ads to YouTube and connected TV, and gets measured, not shelved.
Who it’s for
What we shoot in Cincinnati.
Every market has its own mix. Here's the work we make most across Greater Cincinnati & the Tri-State. If there's a story worth telling, we'd like to hear it.
Consumer & CPG brands
P&G and Kroger country. Brand films and product work made with the care a national name expects.
Home-services brands
Roofers, HVAC, chimney, exteriors. Where we learned the craft, on real job sites across the Tri-State.
Healthcare & B2B
Explainer, recruitment, and culture video for the hospital systems and manufacturers that anchor the region.
Founders & local brands
The person behind the business, and the story only they can tell, cut for everywhere it needs to run.
In their words
From the people we've made work for.
Ian and the team do a fantastic job, the videos they create are rare to find elsewhere. They've helped bring in new leads with different strategies and content. They'll even help you become a better model during the shoot, taking the time and multiple takes to make sure it's right. Would recommend to anyone trying to grow.
Today we booked our largest commercial job to date, directly from the new marketing efforts. I talked to several agencies and they all basically seemed like they'd just take my money and "hope" for an ROI. These guys showed value from the initial call and just paid for themselves for the entire year with one job. I'm only wishing I'd done it six months ago.
On set with the crew
Good questions.
Are you actually based in Cincinnati?
Yes. Cincinnati is home base, so a shoot anywhere in Greater Cincinnati and the Tri-State is a short drive with no travel fees. We also produce across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Where in Cincinnati do you shoot?
Wherever the story lives, on a job site, in a studio, downtown, or out in the suburbs. Our crew members have shot in and around Over-the-Rhine, Downtown & The Banks, Hyde Park, Oakley, Mason, and we cover the rest of the metro too. On-location is the default; we bring the gear and the crew to you.
What kinds of video do you make in Cincinnati?
Brand films, commercials, doc and narrative pieces, product and social content, and internal video like recruitment and training, plus a still library, cutdowns, and platform-specific edits. We work with consumer & cpg brands, home-services brands, healthcare & b2b, and plenty more.
Do you only shoot, or do you handle strategy and media too?
Both. Every shoot starts with strategy and a script built around a goal, and we can hand off finished files or plan and buy the media in-house, across Meta ads, YouTube and connected TV, and the rest of your mix, so the footage actually runs and gets measured.
