Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to 20/20 Visual Media?

20/20 Visual Media focuses on people-driven video storytelling, often creating content that highlights personal narratives, company culture, and human-centered brand stories. Their work typically emphasizes interviews, authentic storytelling, and emotionally engaging video content that connects audiences with people behind a brand or organization.

Bernardson offers a full-service production approach that combines cinematic video production with professional commercial photography for marketing campaigns and brand development. While storytelling remains an important element, Bernardson expands beyond video by producing a wide range of visual assets designed to support advertising, digital marketing, and brand consistency across platforms.

Does Bernardson offer corporate video production?

Yes. Bernardson produces a wide range of corporate video content designed to support marketing initiatives, recruitment efforts, and internal communication. These productions may include brand films that communicate a company’s mission and identity, recruitment videos that help attract talent, promotional videos that highlight products or services, and internal communications content used for training or company updates.

Corporate video projects often combine interviews, cinematic visuals, workplace footage, and narrative storytelling techniques to create engaging and professional content. Businesses use these videos to connect with audiences, communicate key messages, and strengthen their brand presence.

 

What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?

Traditional studios shoot content in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This leads to cropped Instagram posts, awkward TikTok videos, and underperforming content.

We plan multi-platform optimization from the start. We shoot vertical (9:16 for Instagram Stories/TikTok), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/LinkedIn) simultaneously during production. Each platform gets content designed specifically for its format and audience behavior, typically increasing engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
