Frequently Asked Questions
How are projects managed?
A creative director will be in charge of all projects. Their main job is to give updates on the progress of each project, this includes providing guidance and leadership throughout out the creation stage.
Do you shoot weddings?
Although Maramac Studios does not shoot wedding content, we have the resources to point you in the right direction.
Do I own the rights to my videos once received?
You own the rights to every video or photo you purchase. Although, depending on the agreement, Maramac Studios is allowed to use your video for promotional content. Each agreement is different, unless stated otherwise we have the rights to use your videos as apart of advertisement.
What is the action plan once we commit to a project?
"Pre-production". - One of our favorite steps in bringing visions to life is being able talk to you through creating your own vision. Pre-production involves you and a creative director(s) meeting via zoom or in person, to understand what exactly you're looking to achieve through photo/video. This also can involve script writing, storyboarding, location scouting, and budget, but before all of that we want to know your story.
What steps are involved in video creating?
Steps include:
Pre-production: Consultation, script, storyboarding, crew, location, budget, fun!
Production: Audio, visuals, lunch, filming, and more fun.
Post-production: Editing, graphics, titles, distribution.
Your creative director will go more into depth of each step once the action plan is accepted
Do you have quality equipment?
Yes. The type of equipment used will be based on the level of video production for each project. Become a member to see our equipment list.
Where will the photo/video
shoots take place?
If your business has an in-house studio we are more than happy to travel to you. If you need to rely on our studio for production we have a mobile studio traveling the St.Louis, some parts of Illinois, and Houston Texas. Deciding a location for all photo or video projects, take place during pre-production.
How timely are your deliveries?
For all projects you will let us know the date you would like the video or photos by. We will have a written agreement for that delivery date before the project begins. If you do not have a specific date, it will be marked as standard and all videos and photos will be delivered between 7-14 business days from the initial shoot. We offer two rounds of revisions, after that it will be an additional consultation cost added to your agreement.
What happens if I don't like the final product?
There is no final product until you are satisfied. That is he reason for pre-production.
Before we pull out that Sony boy 3000, we will create a storyboard (a visual comic book) of what your video will most likely entail. The same goes for photo projects. Once we agree, then and only then will we set a time for production and post production.
Do you post for companies?
To hire a content manager email: maramacstudios@gmail.com with Subject: Hire Content Manager and we will reach out to you. Similar to business cards, it is your responsibility to distribute the business cards, in this case - videos -where you see best fit. We will provide you with the best insight on places your videos/photos could live (i.e YouTube, homepage on website, Instagram etc). In short, yes if you need to hire a content manager. The answer is no if you already have a team to post for you - we provide the content to post.

How much will a video cost?
I am more than sure we can create a video that fits your marketing budget. We mostly work B2B (business to business) but for most B2C (customer) projects, it is a minimum $500 to begin a video project. For photo pricing see, book online.
