Question 1

What makes 3:13 Films different from other production companies?

Accepted Answer

We approach every project as a story worth telling, not just a video to finish. With 20+ years of filmmaking experience, we blend cinematic visuals, emotional storytelling, and strategic messaging. We work closely with every client to understand their goals and create work that feels authentic, memorable, and impactful.

Question 2

What type of equipment do you use?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the project scope and budget, we film with cinema-grade cameras like the RED Komodo paired with Vespid Prime lenses, or the ARRI Alexa. We also use pro lighting, audio, and stabilization gear — the same tech used in feature films and broadcast spots.

Question 3

What types of videos do you produce?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in music videos, commercials, Narrative Short & Feature films, product videos, documentaries, corporate storytelling, Real Estate/Developer Showcases, social media campaign content, tech videos, interviews, and much more. If it involves visual storytelling — we create it.

Question 4

What’s the difference between a brand film and a promotional video?

Accepted Answer

A brand film tells your story — who you are, why you do what you do, and what makes you different.
A promotional video is more direct — it focuses on a specific offer, product, or call‑to‑action.
We often use both together to build connection and drive results.

Question 5

What is the video production process?

Accepted Answer

Pre‑Production: We develop the concept, script, creative direction, shot list / storyboard, and schedule.
Production: We film — camera, lighting, sound, directing, performance, etc.

Post‑Production: Editing, color grading, sound design, visual effects / graphics, final delivery.
We guide you through the entire process — no experience required on your end.

Question 6

How long does production take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by scope, but most projects take 7–14 days for editing after filming. Larger commercial or narrative projects may take longer. If you have a specific deadline — we plan the timeline around it.

Question 7

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To secure the project and begin pre‑production, we require a 60% deposit, with the remaining 40% due at final delivery.

Question 8

Do I need a script before we start?

Accepted Answer

No — that’s part of what we do. Whether you have a full concept or just the idea, we help shape the creative, write the script, and build the vision.

Question 9

What is the ideal length for a video?

Accepted Answer

It depends on where it will live:

• Instagram/TikTok Ads: 6–30 seconds
 • Brand or Story Videos: 1–3 minutes
 • Documentary or Feature Content: Flexible
We’ll recommend the perfect length based on goals and viewer behavior.

Question 10

Should we use actors or our own team on camera?

Accepted Answer

Both work.
If you want authenticity, using real people from your company can be powerful. If the project requires polished performance, we can cast professional actors.

We’ll help guide the best choice for your message and tone.

Question 11

Can I be involved in the creative process?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The best results come from collaboration. You’ll have input on creative direction, script, music, pacing, color tone — everything. You’ll be part of the process without needing to handle the technical side.

Question 12

How do revisions work?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes revision rounds to refine the final cut. We gather all your feedback at each stage to keep the process efficient and aligned. Additional revisions beyond the agreed rounds are available if needed.
