Why This Package Exists

DESIGNED FOR
BUSINESSES WHO
HESITATE.

Most small business owners know they need video. They also know they have been burned before, either by a videographer who ghosted them, or by paying for something they could not use, or by a price quote that made no sense for their stage of business.

The Customer Story Starter is designed to remove every one of those excuses. Fixed price. Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. One real customer. One honest story. Five usable videos out the door.

It is also designed as a first step. Many clients who start here come back for larger projects once they have seen what documentary-level craft actually looks like at their budget.

Afraid of getting ghosted after the deposit?
NLV responds within one business day, every time. The package has a fixed timeline. You will always know where your project stands.
Worried it will not be worth the investment?
Five videos from one shoot day. Testimonial content drives more purchase decisions than any other format. The math works.
Not sure if the quality will match your brand?
Craig is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. That standard does not change because the budget is smaller.

Honest Fit Assessment

WHO THIS IS
RIGHT FOR

This is a great fit if...
  • You have a real customer with a real story and want it on camera
  • You want video but have not been able to justify a larger budget yet
  • You need social content and do not have a reliable way to create it
  • You have been burned before and want a fixed-price, fixed-scope project
  • You are in Hagerstown, Frederick, Chambersburg, or anywhere in the DMV
  • You want to see what documentary-level craft looks like at your budget before committing to more
This is not the right fit if...
  • You need a scripted commercial with actors, props, and multiple locations
  • You need broadcast television placement or agency-level production value
  • Your deadline is less than three weeks from now
  • You do not have a willing customer to participate in a testimonial shoot
  • You need more than one hero video from a single shoot day
