Frequently Asked Questions
How does Bernardson's pricing compare to Metrocreative's?
Pricing varies based on project scope and strategic requirements. For pure creative production without strategy, analytics, or optimization services, rates are competitive within Montreal's professional video production market.
The value difference comes from our strategic approach. When you factor in audience targeting, performance tracking, and optimization services, our bundled pricing typically delivers better ROI. Clients report 40-60% improvement in key metrics, making the investment significantly more cost-effective. We provide transparent custom quotes based on your specific business objectives.
Can Bernardson match Metrocreative's cinematic quality?
Metrocreative is recognized for award-winning cinematic production with achievements including the Much Music Best Video of the Year Award and Juno nomination. Their artistic vision and creative excellence for music videos and brand films are exceptional.
Bernardson delivers cinema-grade production quality using professional equipment including Sony FX3, A7 IV cameras, and 4K workflows. Our strength is combining cinematic aesthetics with strategic planning and performance measurement. We excel when businesses need beautiful content designed to achieve specific business outcomes with measurable results.
What makes Bernardson's multi-platform approach different?
Traditional studios shoot in one format and expect you to adapt it for different platforms. This results in awkwardly cropped vertical videos or letterboxed horizontal content that underperforms.
We plan multi-platform optimization from pre-production. We shoot vertical (9:16), square (1:1), and widescreen (16:9) simultaneously with dedicated framing for each format. Each platform receives content designed specifically for it with appropriate pacing, text placement, and editing style. This approach typically increases engagement rates 40-60% compared to repurposed content.
