Video production in Dayton
The city that taught the world to fly knows real work.
Dayton's engineering roots run deep, and a hollow claim doesn't get far. What works here shows the actual capability: the real floor, the real team, the care in the details. Substance first, then shine.
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 Dayton 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 & Oregon District, Kettering, Beavercreek, Centerville, 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 Dayton.
Every market has its own mix. Here's the work we make most across the Miami Valley. If there's a story worth telling, we'd like to hear it.
Aerospace & defense
Next door to Wright-Patt. Capability, recruitment, and culture films for a careful, security-minded field.
Advanced manufacturing
Precise work deserves a precise story. We show the process, and the people who run it.
Healthcare & research
Explainer and patient films that make complex work feel human and clear.
Home-services brands
The trades that keep the Miami Valley running. Shot on real job sites.
In their words
From the people we've made work for.
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.
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.
On set with the crew
Good questions.
Are you actually based in Dayton?
We're a Cincinnati-based crew, and our team members have experience shooting in and around Dayton, an hour north on I-75. You get the same in-house team and craft; travel for a Dayton shoot is simple and we'll fold it into a clear, up-front quote.
Where in Dayton 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 & Oregon District, Kettering, Beavercreek, Centerville, Miamisburg, 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 Dayton?
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 aerospace & defense, advanced manufacturing, healthcare & research, 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.
