Each project is evaluated by our team based on ten years of experience bidding video projects. Along the way, we’ve learned to be up front with clients about our typical starting range for projects: $15-20K is a good place to start. Some factors that will cause that amount to be higher are: multiple days of filming, rushed timeline, large crew, hiring talent, etc.

We want our reputation to be such that, even if you don’t hire us, you’ll be glad you made contact with us. We strive to reply to every email and treat every prospective client with respect and transparency.

No. One of the advantages with our pricing structure is that we don’t charge beyond the agreed estimate/scope. We’ve done this enough to where we can get really close to the final dollar amount up front. If the client wishes to add more deliverables beyond the original scope, we are happy to discuss additional costs associated. Typically, these late add-ons are the most economical part of the project because the main investment has already been made.

The nature/scope of a project significantly determines its timeline. Generally, a project unfolds over 8-12 weeks from the initial conversation. We encounter a few projects each year that can be completed within a few weeks if paired with a motivated client and quick-moving stakeholders. We also take on projects that may extend over a year or more from start to finish. It’s also good to remember, we can only move as fast as you can.

You’re hiring US to be creative and bring the video to life. This means you can be involved as much or as little as you like!

At the very least, we will conduct a comprehensive discovery meeting at the start of the project, ensuring our readiness to deliver your video project. Throughout the production process, our team is dedicated to keeping you informed at every stage.

If you’re more “hands on,” we can work with that too!

We appreciate it when clients want to be more involved than not! Our team is capable of delivering a top-notch video, but you are our “eyes on the inside.” Whether you’re sharing your vision, collaborating with scriptwriting or featured in the video yourself - we’d love to have you on board! You know your business best, plus we’re guilty of being a lot of fun to work with.

Absolutely. Our team has successfully filmed in 22 states and continues to expand our reach. While we undertake numerous projects within our studio, we are not confined to a single location. Instead, we actively go to the heart of the action, wherever that may be, ensuring versatility and adaptability in our filmmaking endeavors.Item description

We work with people and clients who:

1. See the value in paying for a premium product.

2. Are willing and able to invest in video that gives the best first impression.

3. Require the best

Our team is able to do the best work for clients when we are tasked with bringing our creative skills to bear on their “problem” or their “why.”

We prefer clients who communicate effectively and will voice their priorities at any given stage of the project. And since we’re being honest, we like clients who are interested in building relationships with our team. We’ve been fortunate enough to build trust with some of the best folks out there.

We prefer projects requiring dedicated creative and that have a runway to give both us and the client time to tackle all the necessary pre-production work.

We have found that properly planning before any production happens, makes for a final product that will last much longer (and be more useful) than a rush job. Because of our process, many of our clients will use videos we have produced for them for 3-5 years.

In comparison to major urban areas, we possess a unique advantage in both owning our studio and equipment. Oftentimes the norm for production companies in metro areas is to lease studio space and gear for each production. The ownership dynamic not only grants us control, familiarity and flexibility that is often limited in large cities, but also contributes to long-term cost savings and enhances our creative freedom.

Also, operating costs such as studio rental fees and equipment expenses, tend to be lower in North Dakota compared to major cities.

Another uncommon advantage Threefold possesses is having a 6-person full-time crew. Because we work together every day, we know how to get it done efficiently and we aren’t relying on freelancers or inexperienced hires. Our team carries your project from birth to the finish line, without losing vision along the way.

Similar to numerous Midwest states, one of our primary challenges revolves around the limited pool of local actors. Approximately 20% of our productions require talent like this. However, the remedy lies just a short plane ride away, as excellent talent is readily accessible. To breathe life into our projects, we consistently draw upon the expertise of performers from outside North Dakota.
