INTO THE LIGHT FILMS provides end to end production, from concept and strategy to delivery.

WE understand the unique challenges and intricacies of video production and what it entails to produce outstanding work.

We can handle video projects of every scale and genre. We have our own professional cameras, lighting, gimbals/stabilizers, and pro audio equipment. Post-production is done in-house using the latest video editing software and equipment.

We work with a team of dedicated writers, producers, directors and cinematographers with the expertise to carry out every aspect of video production from creative inception, execution, & final delivery. We treat every project with the utmost professionalism, regardless of the budget or scope.

Our Video Production Process:

Our first step is the discovery phase where our goal is to fully understand the objectives of the videos we are creating, the intended audience, and what will motivate and inspire that audience.
Production is where all of our discovery and planning pays off. We put together an all-star team of creative professionals armed with the latest video production tools to execute on the creative vision for your project.
Next, we move into post-production, working seamlessly and iteratively with our client as the edit takes shape, normally across three rounds of editorial.
Producing compelling and effective video for our clients is of the utmost importance. Throughout the process, we are optimizing the content for delivery across social media, web, and paid media advertisement.
