Website Content
Transform your website from a pretty showcase into a powerful lead-generating asset. It’s not enough to look good online — your audience needs to see proof that you’re credible, capable, and trusted. By creating content that highlights your expertise, showcases your teams in action, and demonstrates real results for real clients, you build the trust that converts visitors into enquiries and enquiries into business.
Showcases and Explainers
Project showcase and explainer videos are powerful tools to both grab attention and build trust. Showcase videos highlight your work, proving your capability and demonstrating the real results you deliver. Explainer videos help your audience to understand your process and the value you bring. Together, they demonstrate why you stand out above your competitors.
Case Studies and Testimonials
Case studies offer a deeper dive into a project or scenario, giving clients the opportunity to share all the reasons they loved the process and the final outcome. They create a relatable story that potential clients can connect with, while also providing a chance to showcase your work in detail. By highlighting both the challenges and successes, case studies help demonstrate your expertise and the value you bring to the table
Social Media Reels and Ads
An active social media strategy puts you in front of new audiences, and shows your business is energetic, engaged, and always moving forward. We help you plan a content strategy that supports your objectives, then provide cost-effective options to create a pipeline of high quality reels for general posting or paid ads, so you can stay visible to your audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What makes OTB Productions an ideal choice for video production for small businesses?
A. We make high-quality video content accessible to small businesses by combining practical expertise with cost-effective production.
I spent the first 25 years of my career grounded in business, implementing systems and change for a multinational. This combined with over 10 years of making short films that have been recognised at international film festivals means I bring a unique blend of commercial acumen and creative storytelling to every project.
I also work on a ‘builder’s model’ — handling simple projects myself, and bringing in the right specialist professionals when the project calls for it. This way, you get the best of both worlds: cost-effective delivery for straightforward projects, and access to top talent when needed, without the overheads of a large studio or relying on the limited skillset of a fixed in-house team.
Q. Do I need to prepare a detailed brief before I contact you?
A. No! The difference with working with OTB Productions is that we have real commercial insight to help you to work out the most effective way to design, create and deploy your content. So don’t get too stressed about not knowing where to start – reach out early and allow us to do some of the thinking for you.
Q. Is professional video expensive?
A: Professional video only feels expensive if all you’re getting is someone pointing a camera at you. But when you’re working with someone who can bring real commercial insight to help you develop an effective strategy, then design and create content that aligns with your goals—it stops being a cost and starts being an investment. With many businesses, you only need to convince a couple of clients, and your investment is already paid off, and the rest goes in your bank.
Q. I have a great phone camera. Can't I do it all myself?
A: Phone selfies can work for casual posts, but serious clients will check your online presence before deciding. Amateur-looking content can make it seem like you cut corners in your business too.
Professionally created, purpose-driven content makes a stronger impression, helps you stand out, and can increase conversions. Plus, if creating content isn’t your core business, then maybe your time is better spent elsewhere!
Q. How much should I budget for professional video?
A. Each package is tailored to your specific needs. As a guide, most packages fall between $2,500 and $5,000, covering everything from concept to final delivery.
It’s all about how much content you need to make a real difference for your business.
Q. Why do videographers want to know my budget?
A: Your budget helps us recommend the right approach for your business.
Video production is incredibly flexible — the same idea can be executed in many different ways, from a simple, low budget shoot at one location, to a cinematic production with professional actors and sweeping aerial views. Knowing your budget upfront means we can design a solution that gives you the results you are expecting without wasting time on options that don’t fit.
It’s not about spending more — it’s about getting the best outcomes possible for your investment.
Q. What's included in your video packages?
A: All packages include a free discovery session to work out what content would be most effective for you.
Once you’ve decided to sign up, I will help design and script each piece of content for you as needed, so all you have to do is review and refine. All necessary equipment is provided for filming, and I aim to provide initial drafts of the content for you within 2 weeks after filming. 2 rounds of revisions are included.
Q. How does your video package pricing work?
A. In general, most pricing will be fixed as quoted if you accept within 30 days by paying the deposit. There are a few scenarios where a revised quote may need to be issued:
- If you request a material change to the scope.
- Critical information was not provided that materially changes the effort required.
- External costs due to elements that were not known at the time of the quote (e.g. permits).
