Corporate Video Production for Training, Sales and Safety Videos

Corporate video production is the planning, filming, animating and editing of videos a company uses to train staff, sell to buyers, explain a product or keep people safe. Website Talking Heads has done corporate video production since 2001, with more than 30,000 videos made for more than 4,000 clients.

We are a production company, not a software tool. You send us the goal, we write or polish the script, cast a professional actor or build the animation, and deliver a finished video your team can use the same day it arrives. Every presenter is a real, professional actor, never an AI avatar.

What corporate video production covers

A corporate video is any video made for a business purpose rather than for entertainment. The audience is a buyer, an employee, an investor or a partner, and the video has one job to do for that audience.

These are the corporate videos we make most often:

• Sales and presentation videos. A spokesperson, motion graphics and your message in one short video. See our custom presentation videos.
• Training and eLearning videos. Lessons, onboarding and policy updates that a learning system can play. See eLearning video production.
• Safety videos. Short animated scenes that show a hazard no camera could safely film.
• Product and process videos. 3D animation that shows what happens inside a machine, under the skin or on an oil platform.
• Explainer videos. Whiteboard, 2D and 3D animation that make one idea easy to understand.
• Website spokesperson videos. A presenter who greets visitors and points them to the next step.

Corporate video work we have produced

Real projects show what a production company can actually deliver. These are published on our own pages, with the videos you can watch.

• FedEx. 3D safety animations, including an airport tug scenario shown in 19 seconds and a video that uses a game of Pong to show how too many issues at once become a safety hazard.
• Apollo Petro. A 3D technical animation showing an oil and gas chemistry process on an oil platform that no camera could film.
• Tatt2Away. A three minute 3D medical animation showing what happens beneath the skin.
• Capital Financing. A video sales letter in which a professional spokesperson and motion graphics explain litigation financing to law firms in under three minutes.
• CAG Truck Capital. A presentation that blends on camera spokespeople, shop floor customer scenes and bold motion graphics for commercial truck lending.
• A global technology company. A set of sustainability videos, including a 3D logo animation and a video setting out the company's sustainability principles.

You can see more of this work by style on our video production styles page.

How a corporate video is produced, step by step

Every project follows the same order, so nothing is decided twice and nothing is filmed before the message is right.

1. Goal and audience. We agree who will watch, what they should do afterwards, and where the video will play: a website, a sales call, a learning system or a trade show screen.
2. Script. The script is written to that one goal. A video that tries to say everything says nothing, so we cut until each line earns its place.
3. Style. Live action with a spokesperson, 3D animation, 2D animation, whiteboard or motion graphics. The message decides the style, not the other way round.
4. Casting or design. You choose a presenter from our professional actor roster, or approve the characters and frames for an animation.
5. Production. Filming on our green screen stage in Sandy, Utah, or animating in house, with voice over, music and editing.
6. Review and delivery. You review the cut, we make the changes, and you receive the finished files in the formats you need.

Live action, animation or both

Most corporate videos work best as one of three things. A real person builds trust fastest, so sales, welcome and policy videos usually lead with a spokesperson. Animation explains what a camera cannot show, so process, product and safety videos usually use 3D or 2D animation. Many of our strongest videos combine the two: a presenter on camera with motion graphics and animated scenes around them.

If your video has to explain something inside a machine, inside the body or at a scale no camera can reach, see our 3D animation company page. If it has to sell to other businesses, see B2B animation. If one clear idea needs to be drawn out step by step, a whiteboard video is often the simplest answer.

How to choose a corporate video production company

Lists of the best corporate video production companies are easy to find. What is harder is knowing which company fits your project. Five questions sort it out quickly.

• Have they made this kind of video before? Ask to see a finished video in the same style and for a similar purpose. A company that shoots weddings is not automatically ready to make a safety animation.
• Who writes the script? Most weak corporate videos fail at the script, not the camera. Find out whether the company will write it, polish yours, or simply film what it is given.
• Can they do live action and animation? Many projects need both. One team that can film a presenter and animate the scenes around them saves you managing two vendors.
• Who is on camera? Ask whether presenters are professional actors, staff members or AI avatars, and whether you can choose the person.
• What exactly is the price? A clear starting price and a written quote for the rest tell you the company knows its own costs.

We answer all five on our own pages, and we are glad to send examples in your industry before you decide.

Where your corporate video will be used

Plan the video around the place it will play. A homepage video has seconds to earn attention and should open with the problem the visitor came to solve. A sales video sent after a call can run longer because the viewer already cares. A training video inside a learning system should be split into short lessons so staff can find one answer without watching the whole course. A trade show loop has to work with the sound off. Telling us the placement first is the single best way to get a video that works the day it goes live.

What corporate video production costs

A website spokesperson video costs $399 for up to 30 seconds and $499 for 31 to 60 seconds, with a typical turnaround of 5 to 7 business days. Full corporate productions, such as custom presentations, whiteboard videos, 3D animation and training series, are priced by project because length, style and the number of scenes change the work. Volume discounts are available when you order several videos. Current prices are on our spokesperson video pricing page.

National work, with a studio and crew in Utah

Most of our clients never visit the studio. You send the script and the logo, we film a professional actor on our green screen stage and deliver the finished video anywhere in the country.

We also have our own crew, so companies in Utah can book a local shoot at their own office, plant or job site. Either way you work with one production company from script to final file, and the person who plans your video is the person who delivers it.

Common questions

What is corporate video production?

Corporate video production is the planning, filming, animating and editing of videos a company uses for business: training staff, selling to buyers, explaining a product, onboarding customers or keeping people safe. The audience is an employee, a buyer, an investor or a partner, and every corporate video is built around one job it has to do for that audience.

How much does corporate video production cost?

At Website Talking Heads a website spokesperson video costs $399 for up to 30 seconds and $499 for 31 to 60 seconds. Larger corporate productions such as custom presentations, whiteboard videos, 3D animation and training series are priced by project, because length, style and the number of scenes change the work. Volume discounts are available for several videos.

How long does it take to produce a corporate video?

A spokesperson video has a typical turnaround of 5 to 7 business days once the script is approved, and rush delivery may be available. Animated and multi scene productions take longer because characters, frames and voice over each need your approval. We agree the schedule with you before production starts, so you know the delivery date in advance.

Should a corporate video use a real person or animation?

Use a real person when trust matters most, such as sales, welcome and policy videos. Use animation when you need to show something a camera cannot film, such as a process inside a machine, a medical procedure or a safety hazard. Many strong corporate videos combine both: a spokesperson on camera with motion graphics and animated scenes around them.

Do you produce corporate videos outside Utah?

Yes. Most of our clients are outside Utah. You send the script and logo, we film a professional actor on our green screen stage in Sandy, Utah, or build the animation in house, and deliver the finished video anywhere. Companies in Utah can also book our own crew for a local shoot at their office, plant or job site.
