Flexible video production for focused brands who need great content, fast.

Fast.

Get a quote within 24 hours. And for most productions, we only need a 1-week lead time.

Flexible.

Our lightweight teams adapt to your project's needs, ensuring you receive only what you need.

Focused.

We stay honed in on the essentials, trimming unnecessary production fat that slows projects down. 

Making great videos can be complex.
We make it as easy as possible.

Years ago, just making a video took massive crews, 6-figure budgets (or higher!), tons of gear, and months of planning and editing. In today’s world of fast-paced content, you can’t spend that kind of time or money.
And you don’t have to!

We’ve mastered the art of making great videos with reasonable budgets, quick timelines, and small crews.

We know storytelling. We know gear.
We know cinematography. We know freelancers. We know production.
We know editing.

Stop worrying about

We do all of it for you.

It’s just like a backpack!

Bring us along when you need help carrying the load.
Leave us behind when you don’t.

How It Works.

Our approach to lightweight video content makes projects faster, easier, and reduces overhead. We strip our productions down to the essentials – gear that fits inside a backpack – and rely on marrying expert storytelling with the best solo creators to make great videos.

Step 1: Book a Chemistry Call

Start with a 30 minute Chemistry Call, where we discuss your project and determine your needs. To prepare, it’s helpful to know your goals, KPIs, target audiences, and to have a general vision of the project. 

Step 2: Get a Quote

If Backpack is a good fit for your project, we will prepare a quote. In many cases, we can provide a quote on the chemistry call, but you can expect to have a quote within 24 hours. 

Step 3: Kickoff

Once we agree to move forward, we dive deep into your business or organization in a Kickoff Call. We gather as much information about your audience, ensure our deliverables align with your goals, discuss creative approaches and concepts, and set expectations for a smooth project.

Step 4: Production Preparation

After the kickoff, we prepare for content capture. This may involve a few meetings to ensure alignment of date, time, place, and people. Our producer will ensure everybody knows key information and what to expect for the shoot. 

Step 5: Content Capture

It’s time to shoot! During content capture, your crew of 1-4 people will guide you through the production, ensuring we capture everything necessary to complete your deliverables. 

Step 6: Content Editing

Once everything is recorded, our team begins editing the raw assets into final deliverables. This happens in 1-3 revision rounds, where you will provide feedback on the assets and guide what you’d like to see changed. 

Step 7: Delivery!

Once we finalize deliverables, we ensure the assets are optimized for your placements and upload them to Google Drive, where they will be available indefinitely. 

Every Backpack Production includes:

  • A Creative Director

    Your creative director ensures storytelling is clear, and assets are high quality.

  • A Dedicated Producer

    Your producer keeps the project organized and keeps everyone on track for an on-time delivery.

  • Content Creator(s)

    Your content creator(s) are vetted and trusted by our team to capture your story the best way possible.

  • High-Quality Gear

    We keep our gear updated so it’s always up to today’s standard, and is prepared for a fast and focused production.

  • Creative Support

    If you need help crafting your story, we provide creative consultation throughout the entire process.

The frameworks that make this work:

  • Lean Production Teams

    Modern gear enables fewer people to successfully run a production. We keep focused on who is needed to reduce unnecessary overhead.

  • Swiss-Army Gear

    We prioritize using gear that is multi-purposed and enables full flexibility, to keep gear lightweight and save time.

  • A Network of Ceators

    Beyond our in-house team, we work with a network of senior-level content creators so you can always be sure we are available to take on a project.

  • Story First. Complexity Last.

    We obsess over quality while still keeping complexities low so we can focus on what really matters: connecting to your audience with great stortelling.

  • Speed is Key

    We know content moves fast. From the chemistry call to delivery we do everything we can to remove barriers so you don’t have to wait on getting great content.

Have Questions?

  • “Backpack Production” is a video production style where all of the gear you need fits into a backpack. Production gear has come a long way in the last decade, and now an entire high-quality production can be run by a single person. We believe this approach unlocks the door for so many businesses to improve their content and storytelling, so we launched a product that brings this approach to the masses.

  • For most productions, we need at least 1 week lead time to start. Once we have captured the video, in most cases you can expect to have your content within a month, if not sooner. But, it really depends on your project. During your chemistry call, we can give you a more appropriate estimate for your needs.

    We can make great content quickly. But remember, the more time we have, the better the content will be.

  • If needed, we will connect you with a media buyer who can help you place the content we create together.

  • You can expect to invest a minimum of $5,680 in a project, with many projects being under $15,000.

    For most projects, payment is made in two payments, but longer projects can be split into more payments.

  • Backpack productions will include creative support, but if you are looking for a project that requires a script, actors, a bigger crew, or a significant amount of creative planning, please check out Lavendr the Agency.
