You publish the videos. Ad management and ad spend are separate.
Delivery, revisions, and what’s separate
First cuts within 10 business days of the shoot and receipt of required assets. One consolidated revision round per video. Six original videos and two alternate opening edits means eight files, not eight original videos.
You handle posting and community replies. Ad management, media spend, photography, talent, paid locations, travel outside the agreed local area, raw footage, and complex animation are separate. Scope and usage are confirmed in writing before payment. Recurring payments require clear terms and your consent.
Beyond a view count
Make it mean
something.
A useful video gives people a reason to care and a way to act. That’s the conversation we start with.

HIGATE original / Episode 0103 A little less on your plate
You don’t need a film degree.
You need a team.
One continuous conversation, from the first idea to what we make next.
Tell us what you sell.
Your offer, your customers, your goals. We’ll figure out what the first month should say.
Show up. Be yourself.
We prepare the shoot and guide the filming. You approve the work before it goes out.
Post with a purpose.
Use the release plan, share your insights, and we’ll shape the next month together.
Independent by nature. In your corner.
A small team.
A lot of give-a-damn.
HIGATE is a Bay Area production team rooted in independent storytelling and overlooked communities. We bring that resourcefulness to businesses building something of their own.
You get people who learn your business and keep showing up for it. That’s the point of a partnership.
Fair questions
Before we
hit record.
Is this right for my business?
If you have an established offer, a local shoot location, and a need for consistent content, let’s talk. Monthly Momentum starts at $3,000/month. You handle posting; we handle the agreed planning, production, and edits.
Do you run the ads too?
We can. Campaign management and ad spend are separate from the content retainer. We agree on the channels, scope, tracking, and budget before launch.
How much of my time do you need?
A 45-minute planning call, the agreed shoot up to four hours, one consolidated feedback round, and a 30-minute monthly review. We confirm who needs to be at the shoot in advance.
Can we start with one project?
Yes. Custom one-time projects have a $10,000 minimum. Video production, photography, and event coverage are scoped around your needs. We agree on deliverables, price, and payment terms before you pay.
Can you guarantee views or sales?
No honest production team can guarantee a particular outcome. We plan for a useful customer action and review the response where tracking is available. Views alone aren’t revenue.
What happens on the free call?
In 15 minutes, we’ll discuss your business, your audience, what we could film first, and whether the monthly plan fits. No presentation needed. No payment, contract, or automatic enrollment.
04 Your next move
