Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to One Fifteen Films?

One Fifteen Films focuses primarily on commercial video production, creating content such as promotional videos, branded campaigns, and corporate storytelling pieces for businesses. Their work is centered on producing high-quality video content that helps companies communicate their message through visual storytelling.

Bernardson offers a more integrated production approach that combines cinematic video with professional commercial photography, all designed specifically for marketing campaigns and brand development. While video production is a core part of the process, Bernardson frequently works with businesses to create a full suite of visual assets that support advertising, digital marketing, and long-term brand consistency.

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 strengthen their brand, communicate key messages, and connect with audiences effectively.

Many Bernardson productions are structured to generate multiple pieces of content from a single shoot. For example, a full corporate video may also produce shorter clips for social media, digital advertising, and ongoing marketing campaigns.

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.
