ABOUT US
Video Production for Businesses in Melbourne
OTB Productions is a boutique video production company based in Melbourne, serving clients locally and interstate since 2018.
We take a “builder’s approach” to content creation, delivering great results whilst keeping costs to a minimum. So instead of maintaining a large permanent team, we draw on a network of creative partners to provide services only as needed for each project. That means we can avoid charging you the overheads of larger production houses that typically apply even for simple projects. And when you do need something extra, we bring in the best professionals to get the job done, not just whoever happens to be on staff.
This win-win approach means competitive pricing and great results.
How we are different from most other Video Production Companies
We get that you need more than just something that looks good—you need content that works. And for content to really make an impact, it needs the right strategy behind it.
That’s where we’re different. We help you develop a content strategy tailored to your business needs, then design and create content that hits the mark.
With over 25 years of hands-on commercial experience, we’re able to both guide you and work more independently, taking the pressure off you. And because we stay focused on your objectives throughout, it’s common for our clients to accept our first draft with little to no changes.
Better results, less effort on your part.
Sanford Tong – Founder and Director
Sanford isn’t your typical videographer who graduated from film school.
Instead, he spent the first 25 years of his career as an IT professional in a multinational organization. During this time, he implemented systems and managed projects across a wide range of business functions, including sales, marketing, procurement, manufacturing, logistics, finance, and HR. Sanford has led and developed high-performing teams, streamlined cross-functional processes, trained staff at all levels, and influenced decisions from the factory floor to the boardroom.
Alongside his corporate role, Sanford was also pursuing his passion for filmmaking, creating short films that have earned recognition at several international film festivals.
Today, Sanford combines these two worlds—his commercial experience and his filmmaking expertise—to bring unique value to his clients.
His commercial background gives him a deep understanding of the challenges businesses face, allowing him to offer insightful guidance on how to move forward. He’s able to grasp the bigger picture and drill into the details to ensure every project aligns with strategic goals and delivers real value. And with his filmmaking experience, Sanford can achieve impressive results without needing a Hollywood budget.
From concept development, design, and scripting to filming and editing, Sanford ensures everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Clients trust him to manage timelines, resources, and expectations, giving them peace of mind that the project is in good hands. This rare combination of business acumen and creative skill enables Sanford to produce purposeful, effective results that truly make an impact. ]
