Corporate video production services, made for where they’ll run
Script, shoot and edit from one Australian crew: corporate video, social content, event coverage. And because we also run the media it appears in, we see how every video performs after it ships.

What you get
The scope, in writing
-
Corporate video
Company profiles, brand films, product walkthroughs, customer stories and internal comms. Filmed to a script you approved before anyone booked a camera.
-
Social media video production
Platform-native versions of every piece — vertical 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, square for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube — cut as their own edits, not one master squeezed into three shapes.
-
Videography services for the everyday jobs
Event coverage, interviews, talking-head content. Not every video needs a concept phase; some just need a good crew on the day.
-
Script and storyboard first
You sign off the idea on paper. Changing a sentence in a script is free; changing it in an edit suite is not.
-
The shoot itself
Australian crew, direction, lighting, sound, plus location and talent sourcing where the brief calls for it.
-
Edit, motion graphics, colour and sound mix
With review rounds you comment on in the browser rather than over email chains.
-
Every master and format delivered, and you own the lot
Raw footage included. If we part ways, your footage goes with you.
-
Captions, thumbnails and upload-ready files
Prepared for each destination. Most feed video plays on mute, so captions are part of the job, not an extra.
How we do it
6 steps
We work out what the video has to do and who it has to move, then write a short creative treatment with references. No shoot gets scoped before this is agreed.
A writer drafts the script; a storyboard or shot list follows for anything scripted. You approve both. This is the cheap place to change your mind, and we say so.
Crew, locations, talent, permits, schedule. You get a call sheet that tells you exactly what happens on the day and what we need from your side (usually: people, a meeting room, and parking).
The crew films it, directed by the Gudu creative team you’ve been talking to since the brief, not a subcontractor you meet for the first time on the day.
Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, motion graphics in After Effects, then colour grade and sound mix. You review cuts in Frame.io and comment on the exact frame, which keeps feedback rounds short and specific.
Masters and platform versions handed over, or handed straight to our advertising team to run as YouTube and social campaigns with watch-through and conversion reporting. That last step is the part a production house can’t offer.
Case study
Southern Phone
Southern Phone
Southern Phone has been a full-service Gudu partner since January 2021, with advertising, technology and creative handled by the one team. On the creative side, that means campaign assets are produced by the same people who run the media they appear in, so what gets made is shaped by what the account data says performs.

Questions, answered straight
FAQ
It depends on shoot days, crew size, locations, talent and how much motion graphics the edit needs — which is why a flat rate-card number would mislead you. A single-location interview piece costs a fraction of a multi-day brand film. Send us the brief and we’ll quote the actual job, itemised, so you can see what each part costs and cut scope where you want to.
Most corporate videos run four to six weeks from brief to delivery: about a week or two of scripting and pre-production, the shoot itself, then two to three weeks of editing and revisions. Event coverage and simple talking-head pieces are faster. The honest variable is approvals on your side. A script signed off in two days keeps everything else on schedule.
Everything from the brief to the finished files: treatment, script, storyboard, crew and shoot, edit, motion graphics, colour, sound mix, captions and every platform format. You review cuts in Frame.io and own all masters and raw footage at the end. If you only need part of that — say, a crew for an event, or an edit of existing footage — we scope just that.
Yes, and it should. We plan shoots to capture both: the main piece plus the vertical cut-downs, hook variants and behind-the-scenes material that feed a social calendar for months. It’s the difference between one video and a content library, for a little extra time on the day. Tell us every place the footage might run and we’ll build the shot list around it.
You do. Masters, project files and raw footage are yours, delivered or archived on request, whether we keep working together or not. Plenty of production companies hold rushes as a retention lever. Ask any company you’re considering who owns the raw footage and what it costs to get it — the answer tells you a lot.
Ask three things. Who directs on the day — the people you’ve met, or a subcontractor? Can they show work made for the channel yours will run on, at the format and length you need, not just a cinematic showreel? And what happens after delivery — can they run the video as media and show you watch-through and conversion numbers, or does their job end at the file transfer?
