SERVICES
Earthship Media provides video production packages for events, interviews, short- and long-form content, and documentaries. These projects are tailored for social media, web, and YouTube. We are most passionate about projects that promote ecological stewardship, connection, and human rights.​
​​​VIDEO PRODUCTION
The following pricing is a general guideline that covers most services. These prices are significantly lower than those of traditional video production companies. This is mainly because Earthship Media is working to attract clients from non-profit or community-based organizations that may not have a commercial budget. It is our goal to share the stories that are important for the public but not profitable for commercial work. The listed pricing includes staging and setup time. If you have a longer-term or passion-based project, we can come up with a plan that works best for us. ​​​​
​​​​
VIDEO PRODUCTION INCLUDES:
-
1080p, 4K, or 6K video production workflows.
-
Horizontal or vertical video.
-
A teleprompter is available for use for talking-head or informational videos.
-
Professional audio (Up to 4 wireless microphones or 2 body mics.) (Client provides an audio handoff for more extensive scale presentations or venues.)
-
Professional lighting (Interviews and talking-head style video only)
-
Live-Streaming (1080P, 2-hours setup time prior to event) ​
​​​
​​​​VIDEO CATEGORIES
Earthship Media focuses on a vérité style of video that creates a more holistic, real-life feel. It is usually filmed on a handheld camera or with a tripod for interviews and cinematic B-roll sequences.
​
EDUCATIONAL
Much like promotional videos, educational content can combine filming, overlays, and product-focused video to establish authority on a topic. Earthship Media works with you to ideate and develop a script to help you share your knowledge and distribute the content on your chosen platform.
PROMOTIONAL
While Earthship Media is not a marketing agency, there is value in partnering with organizations to highlight the good work they are doing in the community. Promotional content is often faster-paced and marketing-oriented. There is a way to share what you offer without focusing solely on the profit. What you offer provides more than monetary value; it benefits the environment and community, helping people live more fulfilling and connected lives.
CORPORATE
Earthship Media works with select organizations that want to promote human connection, sustainability, and helpful content that helps you share the essence and value of your organization. This can range anywhere from explainer-style videos to interviews, testimonial videos, or even a walkthrough of your operation. People today want to learn more about the societal value of an organization and trust who they do business with.
EVENT
The type of event videos we work on are full event video recordings, select live-stream projects, or highlight content sharing the critical moments of your event. You can share this with the community or your organization and document your history as something to look back on as your business grows.

SOCIAL MEDIA
​Earthship Media offers social media management for certain clients. Contact us if this is something you are looking for.

SOCIAL MEDIA PACKAGES INCLUDE:
-
Batch-filmed videos or photo shoots edited within the same social media campaign

All social media content is research-based and edited by a HUMAN. (AI is embedded into the Google engine and is unavoidable for research purposes. AI will only ever be used for research purposes or as a tool and not for story development, or creation.)

​
For most social media projects, we would plan out a shoot day or a regular schedule of shoots to capture photos and videos as requested. We will then plan and curate this around

Earthship Media can capture your event or project, store the footage until needed, or deliver complete productions on a scheduled basis. ​
​​
We can also provide the raw footage to your marketing team or editor immediately, allowing them to produce the content you need, when you need it. Consider Earthship Media as your partner in content strategy, production, and media management for your website and social media channels.
