VIDEO PRODUCTION FOR SMALL AND MID-SIZED BUSINESSES ACROSS MELBOURNE

We plan, script, and produce custom training, induction and marketing video assets for small to mid-sized businesses, to help you build trust, save time and drive growth.

Is your online presence costing you business?

You’ve got a great business, an amazing team and clients who get real value from your work. If your website and social media content isn’t showing that, you’re giving people no reason to trust and choose you.

We create video to solve business problems

We start with the problem you’re trying to solve, whether that’s winning more enquiries, backing up what you say with real client stories, or getting new staff up to speed faster. Then we plan, script, film and edit the right videos that fix it.

It’s an approach built on my 25 years of ERP and change management experience, and on helping Melbourne businesses since 2018.

Who we work with

We work with small and mid-sized businesses and franchises that rely on their online presence to earn trust and win clients.

Our clients include healthcare and allied health practices, financial and legal firms, property, manufacturing and logistics businesses, and the trades.

Small Business

We work with growing, founder-led brands to design clear content strategies that build instant market trust, establish capability, and unlock commercial growth without the heavy marketing overhead.

Mid-sized Businesses

We handle everything from the initial planning and filming to the final edit for your training, induction, and marketing videos. You get finished, ready-to-use video assets without your leadership team having to manage the project.

Franchises

We deliver video assets that serve every layer of your network—from helping franchisors recruit and onboard new owners, to providing marketing committees with scalable content that drives territory growth for individual franchisees. We handle the end-to-end production to keep the process simple and stress-free for your network..

How We're Different from Most Video Producers

We approach video from a commercial and change-management background, not just a creative one. We get that you need video assets that actively solve a problem—whether that’s streamlining staff training or building instant market trust.
Because we understand business operations, we don’t expect you to come to us with a perfect script or a meticulous creative brief. We handle the heavy lifting by capturing the exact insights and stories your business needs, with very little effort on your part. Backed by decades of commercial experience, we ensure the entire process is smooth and straightforward, and takes as little time as possible out of your workday.
Better results. Less operational effort.

We are part of a franchise group of 60 stores. We approached 3 different Video production companies to produce a series of videos for us to use. We loved the way Sanford approached our request. He wanted to find out more about us and what was the reason for our marketing spend before he could give us a quote and a presentation. He was the only company who took the time to make sure the proposal matched our expectation. He also helped us with planning, scripts and coached all the participants during the shoot as well. The results were outstanding and everyone loved it. I would 💯% recommend Sanford. He's not just a production company but also a marketing guru!!!

I have engaged Sanford for numerous projects over the last 4 years. Each time has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. The preparation support and guidance he provided was invaluable, ensuring every detail was covered before shooting. During the shoot last year we shot footage at several locations. His creative flair and keen attention to detail really stood out, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The final content is always spot on, capturing the audience's attention perfectly and truly hitting the mark, with minimal edits required. I highly recommend Out of the Box Productions for anyone looking to elevate their business or project with a professional touch.

Sanford Tong from Outathebox Productions is a great videographer and producer. Sanford shot and created some client testimonial videos for us, and he made the process so easy. He was able to prep our clients, position some key questions to draw their natural comments and then edit all of the footage in a really interesting clip. From our perspective, he not only captured a great overview of the service we provide, but also the impact it has had for our clients. Happy to recommend Sanford for all of your video needs.

I got Sanford to create some testimonial video and a short promo video for my business. I was pretty clueless about what exactly i wanted but he made the whole process very easy including helping to write a script for our video. With our clients, he put them at ease and got some great content. I am extremely happy with the final outcome of the videos, it is clear that he not only technically knows what he is doing but is able to construct a story line to make the video flow well. For the effort he put in and excellent outcome i also think his fee is very reasonable.

Worked with Sanford to create some videos for my upcoming website, he was amazing to work with and very professional. He got me out of my comfort zone and helped me feel more relaxed in front of a camera which is not an easy thing to do. Highly recommended will work again with Sanford in the future.

Supporting Our Community

At OTB Productions, we’re proud to partner with the Pancare Foundation in their fight against pancreatic and upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. These cancers are among the deadliest, with some of the lowest survival rates by far of all major cancers. Despite this, they receive far less funding and awareness in Australia compared to higher-profile cancers. Tragically, pancreatic cancer is projected to become one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the coming years.

By supporting Pancare, we’re helping to raise awareness, increase funding, and amplify the voices of those impacted. Through our revenue-sharing agreement, when you mention the Pancare Foundation in your booking, a portion of the project fee will go directly to Pancare—funding vital research into more effective treatments and improving quality of life for patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does video production cost in Melbourne?

Professional business video production in Melbourne typically ranges from $2,000 to $10,000+, but OTB Productions generally delivers premium results at the lower end of that spectrum by scaling resources to eliminate waste. Because we match our crew and gear strictly to what your project requires, we strip out unnecessary agency overheads and pass those direct savings on to you. We approach video with a lean mindset, providing a transparent, fixed quotation upfront so you get high-quality corporate assets with absolute cost certainty—and without ever taking shortcuts.

At OTB Productions, we specialise in creating high-return video assets—like staff induction packages, website customer testimonials, and case studies—tailored specifically to your business goals. We provide transparent, fixed quotations so you know your exact investment upfront without any hidden operational fees.
No, you do not need a script, a creative brief, or any prior preparation before contacting a video production company for an initial discussion. In fact, reaching out early saves you valuable time by preventing unnecessary pre-work that might not align with an effective commercial strategy.
You only need to know the specific business challenge you want to solve—such as winning more enquiries or onboarding staff faster. At OTB Productions, we handle the heavy lifting of story building from our very first conversation. We use our commercial experience to help you identify the right insights and then draft the custom concepts and scripts for your review.
A standard video production service typically covers four key phases: solution identification, concept and scripting, professional filming, and final editing. At OTB Productions, we guide you through this entire process from start to finish, ensuring these phases are completely tailored to your specific business needs.
 
We handle the heavy lifting at every stage—from helping you pinpoint your business bottlenecks and drafting custom scripts, to coaching your team on-camera and delivering rapid first drafts within two weeks. Instead of forcing your business into a rigid package with resources you do not need, we scale our team and gear to match your project, providing a transparent, fixed quotation for your agreed deliverables.

 
A video production company with a strong commercial and operations background already understands the universal foundations of business—like streamlining staff onboarding, reducing waste, or driving growth—regardless of the industry. This foundational knowledge means you do not waste time explaining standard business metrics or operational structures.
 
Instead of getting bogged down in how a business operates, OTB Productions leverages this commercial experience to immediately focus on the unique nuances of your trade. Being industry-agnostic allows us to look at your business from a strategic, customer-centric perspective. We work closely with you to understand your specific audience, transforming your trade expertise into high-performing video assets that build genuine market trust and deliver real return on investment.
Maximising return on investment (ROI) relies on strategic scoping and cost efficiency, rather than overproducing content that is unfocused, untargeted, or serves no clear business purpose. The highest return comes from creating intentional video assets that directly solve a specific challenge and retain their value over the long term.
 
At OTB Productions, we actively protect your budget from day one by advising against concepts that offer low long-term value or feel like creative indulgence. We help you identify the highest-probability content for your goals, ensuring every piece of video is designed with strict commercial intention. By pairing this upfront strategic advice with our lean operational model—where we scale resources to eliminate waste and provide fixed pricing—we keep your initial costs down so your investment works significantly harder for your business.
The industry average to receive a first edit is two to five weeks. OTB Productions aims to deliver your first draft within two weeks from the completion of filming. We manage this timeline by handling all the script and concept alignment before the shoot begins, meaning there is no guesswork or back-and-forth during the editing phase.
 
Because we agree on the exact structure, messaging, and deliverables during the planning stages, the majority of our clients accept the first edit or require only minor changes, which allows us to finalise projects without getting stuck in long revision loops.
Yes, we can deliver our video production in standard widescreen, vertical, and square formats, depending on where you plan to use them. We frame and plan your shoot with the required layouts in mind, ensuring the final files are optimized for their intended platforms.
 
Whether you need widescreen (16:9) for website landing pages, vertical (9:16) for mobile-first platforms, or square (1:1) for maximum visibility on LinkedIn feeds, we can provide you with assets that display cleanly on both desktop and mobile screens without requiring separate shoots.
