Frequently Asked Questions
How is BERNARDSON different from Richmond Corporate Video?
Richmond Corporate Video primarily focuses on traditional corporate, training, and informational video production. Their services often include internal communications, employee training videos, educational content, and straightforward corporate messaging designed to inform or instruct specific audiences. This approach works well for organizations that need structured informational videos or operational training materials.
BERNARDSON takes a different approach by focusing on cinematic commercial photography and video production designed specifically for marketing, advertising, and brand growth. Rather than concentrating mainly on instructional or internal corporate content, BERNARDSON develops visually compelling campaigns that help businesses attract customers, strengthen brand identity, and enhance digital presence.
Does BERNARDSON provide photography services as well?
Yes. BERNARDSON offers full commercial photography services including product photography, lifestyle imagery, corporate headshots, workplace photography, and campaign visuals designed for advertising and branding. Photography is often integrated with video production to ensure consistent lighting, styling, and creative direction across all content.
These professional images can be used across websites, advertising campaigns, social media platforms, and marketing materials to maintain a strong and cohesive 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.
