Photography + Video Production + Strategic Brand Content

Round 7 Productions is a Charlotte-area video production company that focuses on creating story-driven films for organizations looking to connect with their audience through authentic storytelling.

Their services include brand films, testimonial videos, digital video ads, educational content, and event video production designed to help businesses communicate their mission and values through visual media.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bernardson compare to Round 7 Productions?

Round 7 Productions focuses primarily on storytelling-focused video production. Their work often centers around narrative-driven video content designed to communicate a company’s message through interviews, cinematic visuals, and documentary-style storytelling. These productions are commonly used by organizations that want to highlight brand values, share meaningful stories, or create emotionally engaging video content for their audiences.

Bernardson provides a broader production approach that combines cinematic video production with professional commercial photography and marketing campaign content. While storytelling video remains an important part of many projects, Bernardson frequently works with businesses to develop integrated visual campaigns that include both video and photography assets. This allows companies to create a more comprehensive set of marketing materials designed for websites, advertising campaigns, and digital platforms.

Does Bernardson produce brand storytelling videos?

Yes. Bernardson produces a wide range of brand storytelling videos designed to communicate a company’s identity, mission, and values. These productions may include brand films that introduce a company’s story, promotional videos highlighting products or services, corporate storytelling content that showcases company culture, and marketing campaign videos created for digital advertising and online platforms.

Brand storytelling videos often combine interviews, cinematic visuals, product demonstrations, and narrative elements to create engaging content that connects with audiences. Businesses frequently use these videos on company websites, digital advertising campaigns, recruitment pages, and social media platforms to share their story and build stronger connections with customers or clients.

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.
