primary outcomes

Premium, finished assets — a hero film plus a full package of cutdowns and stills.

✦ the approach

Execution has to meet the ambition of the idea.

Union is a full-service production company with expertise across film, photography, commercial, and experiential work. We lead the entire process from pre-production and filming through editorial and final delivery, bringing together top talent on both sides of the camera.

We’re not built around a fixed roster of directors or a single house style. We start with what the creative requires, then assemble the artists best suited to bring it to life. The talent serves the idea, not the other way around.

We also embrace emerging tools, including AI, wherever they can make the process faster, smarter, or more creatively expansive without compromising the craft.

Throughout it all, Union remains the single accountable partner: collaborative, flexible, fast-moving, and enjoyable to work with (our moms say we have nice smiles). We protect the concept and ensure every detail meets the standard expected of national brand work.

Our production capabilities

Whether we’re shooting a national broadcast commercial or a documentary-style brand film, our production approach is designed for maximum efficiency and premium quality.

01 — Live-action production

Crews that scale to the project

We scale our crews to fit the project. From nimble, documentary-style shoots to full-scale commercial productions with custom set builds, specialized lighting, and premium talent.

02 — Post-production & editing

More than cutting footage

Post-production is not just cutting the footage together. We handle sound design, audio mixing, professional color grading, motion graphics, and music licensing.

03 — Campaign asset delivery

A complete package, not one file

Typically, we work on campaigns. We deliver a complete package of assets, including multiple cutdowns (e.g., 60-second, 30-second, and 15-second versions), alternate aspect ratios for social media, and still photography pulled from the footage.

Anthony E.
Sr. Marketing Manager

Working with Union was very refreshing. From the very first call, they understood how to create videos for healthcare brands and how to create impactful videos that would connect with our local community. The result was a collection of TV Commercials that perfectly represented our brand, community, and vision!

Andres Moran
Founder/CEO

We were referred to Union by a digital marketer we trusted. However, because I had never worked with a video production company before, I had my own natural skepticism and uncertainties around the process. All of that went away from the first conversation we had with Dustin and the team at Union. They took the time to learn our goals and our budget. From there, the entire engagement was handled with excellence. They gave us concrete milestones and timelines that were always met. It was clear they were professionals at planning and execution, which is evident in the quality of the video assets they created for us. I'd recommend Union to anyone and feel confident about it. They're one of the best companies I've worked with.

✦ FAQS

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can you work with our internal team or agency?

Absolutely. We regularly partner with in-house marketing teams and external branding agencies to ensure our video creative aligns perfectly with your established brand identity.

Does using AI make video production cheaper?

Definitely, and also, not really. It can make certain phases of production more efficient, particularly in concepting and post-production. It can make blockbuster-style movies in 30-second commercials, but people can still tell these are AI-generated, putting them in a different category than the video you’re comparing it to. Plus, the strategic thinking, creative direction, and premium finishing required for a successful campaign still demand professional expertise.

How do we know if our project should use AI or live action?

A creative agency like Union can help you make that decision during the strategy phase. If the goal is human trust (e.g., a healthcare testimonial), live action is required.

How long does post-production take?

A standard post-production schedule is 3 to 5 weeks from the final day of shooting to the delivery of the final assets, depending on the complexity of the edit and the number of deliverables.

Where do you film?

We are based in Connecticut and regularly film in New York, Boston, and all of New England. However, we frequently travel nationwide for our clients.

Do you provide raw footage?

We can provide raw footage for your internal team.
