Video production in Cleveland
A working city trusts honest work.
Cleveland is loyal, and it can tell when it's being sold to. What lands here is well-made work that shows the real place and the people in it, and lets trust build on its own.
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 Cleveland 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 Downtown, Ohio City, Tremont, Lakewood, 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 Cleveland.
Every market has its own mix. Here's the work we make most across Northeast Ohio. If there's a story worth telling, we'd like to hear it.
Healthcare & life sciences
Home to world-class care. Patient, recruitment, and research films made with a careful eye.
Manufacturing & industrial
Cleveland still makes things. We show the floor, the line, and the people who take pride in it.
Pro sports & events
A town that shows up for its teams. We capture the feeling and carry it through the season.
Financial & professional services
Brand and culture films that give a firm a face, not just a logo.
Home-services brands
Lake-effect winters keep the trades busy. Shot on real Northeast Ohio job sites.
In their words
From the people we've made work for.
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.
Before hiring Wilbur, our marketing plan involved a lot of guessing and wasted money. Ian and his team immediately made recommendations about what to start doing and what to stop completely, and our call volume rapidly increased, all while heading into our slower season. They've done excellent work: on-site video shoots, product design for our trade shows, and a new website. Now they're helping us completely rebrand. Had we found Wilbur sooner, we'd be so much further ahead.
On set with the crew
Good questions.
Are you actually based in Cleveland?
We're a Cincinnati-based crew, and our team members have experience shooting in and around Cleveland, up I-71 to the lake. You get the same in-house team and craft; travel for a Cleveland shoot is simple and we'll fold it into a clear, up-front quote.
Where in Cleveland 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 Downtown, Ohio City, Tremont, Lakewood, Westlake, 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 Cleveland?
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 healthcare & life sciences, manufacturing & industrial, pro sports & events, 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.
