Built to make your job easier

You’re managing product launches, cross-functional requests, and internal feedback loops—plus last-minute changes and approvals. We get it. That’s why our turnkey video production process is designed to make your job easier, not harder.

Step 1: Kickoff with purpose

We hit the ground running with a focused onboarding that gets everyone aligned. We learn your brand, clarify goals, identify stakeholders, review assets, and define timelines so we’re ready from day one.

Step 2: Creative with guardrails

We bring fresh ideas while staying on-brand. Working within your voice, visual identity, and stakeholder preferences, we craft content that’s creatively inspired and strategically sound, because internal buy-in matters.

Step 3: Low-lift production

We handle the logistics, planning, and coordination so you don’t have to. From location scouting to shoot schedules and approvals, we manage the details while keeping you in the loop. You’ll never wonder where things stand or feel like you have to manage us.

Step 4: Clear feedback loops

We build structured checkpoints into our timeline, so feedback is never rushed, ambiguous, or overlooked. Whether it’s your legal team, comms lead, or VP of brand, we make it easy to gather, interpret, and implement input efficiently.

Step 5: Ready-to-use delivery

We deliver polished, platform-ready content in every format you need—final files that are reviewed, tested, named correctly, and organized for seamless publishing across web, email, social, or internal systems. And if you need your final project files and assets, we understand and won’t hesitate to provide them.

“Working with Cerebral Lounge on our financial wellness video series has been an incredible experience. Their understanding of our brand, vision, and unique sense of humor has made them an indispensable partner. Their creativity and collaborative spirit have propelled our series in innovative and exciting directions. The mutual trust and admiration we share have been truly inspiring.”

“I’ve worked with Cerebral Lounge on several projects over the years. Working with them has always been a truly positive experience. They treat their clients with professionalism and respect throughout the post-production process by communicating clearly and consistently. The best part is how genuinely collaborative they’ve always been at every stage of a project. I always felt supported from start to finish.”

Working with Cerebral Lounge has been a consistently outstanding experience. They directed both our 40th anniversary video in 2023 and a programs-centric piece in 2020, and each time they made our lives so much easier by taking on the heavy lifting while remaining incredibly collaborative and responsive. They brought creative ideas, strong vision, and a deep understanding of how we will be using these videos to every step of the process. Their team was a true partner—open to feedback, flexible with changes, and always focused on elevating the final product. Both videos exceeded our expectations in quality and storytelling. The 40th anniversary video, in particular, was received with heartfelt enthusiasm at our gala event and played a key role in strengthening our fundraising and marketing efforts. We’re grateful for their talent and professionalism—and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

Frequently asked questions

Here are a few frequently asked questions we receive regarding our production services.

Can you help us plan a content calendar?

Absolutely. We often support quarterly campaigns and event-driven timelines.

Do you follow brand guidelines and voice?

Yes. We treat your brand like it’s our own, and we always ask when something’s unclear.

And when it’s time to stretch your brand a bit, we’re great at helping it grow in a way that still feels authentic and cohesive.

How involved do we need to be?

We keep you informed without overwhelming you. Some teams like to stay closely involved at every step; others prefer us to handle the details and check in at key milestones. We flex to your style so you can be as hands-on—or hands-off—as you like.

What are your rates?

We don’t have a rate card because no two projects are alike. While we have a base from which we create estimates, we are extremely flexible and always do our best to make your budget work. So no matter how big or small your budget is, give us a call and let’s chat.

Can you help with just one service or a small part of a project?

Absolutely! We frequently partner with clients who only need a color-correction or VFX work. Sometimes they just need a mix. Whatever part of the process you need us to cover, we’re on it.

How do you handle privacy and confidentiality?

We’ve worked on all sorts of projects with all sorts of clients, many with strict NDAs and some that were highly classified. We understand and respect privacy and will adhere to your security concerns. In fact, we have created a lot of content that we are never able to share in our portfolio of work, and that’s fine by us. We always ask the client about limitations in sharing work and respect it. Proprietary information is never shared.

How do you handle internal approvals?

We establish a calendar of approvals and share with you along the way. We understand that approvals are there to maximize efficiency and that there may be many stakeholders involved on the client side. We are passionate about the work we do, but in the end, we are here to serve you, so we do not set limits on client approvals.

How do you handle compliance needs?

We have years of experience creating and delivering materials that adhere to 508 compliance. We also have a built in process for quality control for all of our work and we hold ourselves to a very high bar for delivery.
