Let’s Get To Work

Video feels a lot easier when the goal is clear. Before we talk about shots and gear, we want to understand your audience, your message, and what you want this project to accomplish.

From donor stories to enrollment campaigns to brand films, we build video systems that match your voice and show up consistently across the places you publish. Real moments, clean structure, strong execution.

Tell us what you’re working on and what success looks like. We’ll help you find clarity, direction, and results.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Ninety Nine Natives offers brand films and anthem videos, broadcast TV commercials, documentary-style storytelling, nonprofit and mission-driven video campaigns, real estate and community brand video series, and corporate and industrial brand films.

  • It starts with a discovery call to talk through your goals, audience, and timeline. From there we build a pre-production plan such as script, shot list, locations, and crew before any filming happens. We call this approach “1% Camera. 99% Prep.” because most of the work that makes a video good happens before we ever hit record. Once that plan is locked, we move into production and post-production, with review rounds built in so you are never surprised by the final cut.

  • Ask to see work in your general category, such as nonprofit, corporate, real estate, or education, so you can judge fit rather than just production value. Pay attention to how much planning happens before the shoot date. A company that jumps straight to gear talk often produces content that looks good but misses the point. Make sure their process includes real check-ins along the way, not just a final file drop at the end.

  • Beyond the shoot day itself, budget for pre-production such as strategy, scripting, and scouting, plus crew size, location and permit costs, and post-production time for editing, color, and sound. Most budget overruns come from skipping the planning stage, not from the shoot itself, so a realistic pre-production line item usually saves money later.

  • Start with a clear brief: your brand’s tone, the words you do and don’t use, and how this video fits into everything else you publish. Share existing brand guidelines or past content so your video partner can match it rather than guess. At Ninety Nine Natives, we build every project around your voice first, so the finished film sounds like you and not like a generic template.
