Working Together
What does working with Orphanarium Films look like?
Together we guide each project from concept through production, to final deliverable, developing the story, and refining the final product for a consistent cinematic look throughout.
What types of projects do you take on?
We specialize in story-driven work. Anything from commercials, branded content, music videos, wedding videos and narrative pieces that prioritize the emotional impact and visual quality.
Do we need to come with a concept already?
Most clients come to us with a goal rather than a finished idea. We shape the concept, narrative, and visual direction to create a piece that feels intentional and aligned with your brand.
How involved will we be during the process?
We keep you involved at key stages, concept approval, planning, and final review, while handling the creative and technical execution to ensure everything aligns with your vision.
Creative Direction
What makes your work different from other production companies?
We don't create content, we create stories. By building a strong narrative foundation, we pair it with high concept visuals that transform your message into something cinematic and memorable.
Can you help with scripting and story development?
Absolutely. Story is at the core of everything we create, and we work closely with you to develop a clear and compelling narrative.
Can you match a specific style or reference?
We use references as a foundation, then build on your style to create something original and tailored to your brand.
What if we’re not used to being on camera?
That’s completely normal. We create a comfortable environment and guide you through the process so your presence feels natural and confident.
Investment
How much does a typical project cost?
Price is always flexible. We have packages that range from small budget ($1500+) to large productions ($15,000+) depending on scope, scale, and creative requirements of your vision.
Do you work with smaller budgets?
Absolutely. Not every story requires a large scale production. We offer more focused setups, smaller crews, simplified gear, and efficient post production while still delivering a cinematic result.
Why aren’t there fixed prices?
Each project is shaped by its scope. We build around your goals to ensure the final result delivers the intended impact.
What factors affect pricing the most?
Scope, number of shoot days, crew size, locations, and the level of creative development all play a role.
Booking & Timeline
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier, the better. Larger productions require time to develop and plan, so we recommend 2–4 weeks’ notice, while smaller projects can often move forward on a shorter timeline.
Can you accommodate tight deadlines?
In some cases, yes. We’ll assess feasibility while ensuring quality isn’t compromised.
How long does a project take?
Most projects are completed within 2–6 weeks, depending on scope and revision cycles.
What happens after we reach out?
We start with a discovery conversation to understand your goals, then develop an approach and proposal.
Deliverables
What do we receive at the end of the project?
Deliverables typically include a master video, platform optimized versions, and optional social cutdowns depending on the project scope.
Do you provide multiple versions of the final video?
Yes. We can deliver multiple versions created for different platforms, such as social media cutdowns, vertical formats, or alternate lengths, depending on your projects needs.
Do you create content for social media?
Yes. We can structure projects to include short-form content designed for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
Do you keep project files or footage after delivery?
Yes. We retain project files and footage for a limited period after delivery. If you’re planning ongoing content or future edits, we can structure long-term storage or ongoing support as part of your project.
Usage & Rights
Do we own the final video?
You receive usage rights for agreed platforms and purposes. Expanded usage can be discussed depending on your needs.
Can we reuse the footage for future content?
Yes. We can structure projects to support long-term content use or ongoing campaigns.
