video production questions, answered.
How much does video production cost in Seattle?
Most 36 Arms projects range from $5,000 to $100,000, depending on crew size, shoot days, and editing needs. A single-day interview shoot sits at the lower end. A multi-day brand film with travel and a full crew sits at the higher end. Every project starts with a free consultation and a clear quote, with no surprise line items.
Do you work with small businesses, or only big brands?
Both. 36 Arms has produced work for Amazon, AWS, Brooks Running, and the Seattle Kraken, and also for local businesses and growing companies across the Pacific Northwest. The crew scales to fit the project and the budget.
How long does it take to make a video?
Most projects take 3–6 weeks from first call to final delivery. Tight deadline? Tell us up front and the schedule gets built around it.
Can one shoot produce videos for social media, YouTube, and TV?
Yes, and it’s the smartest way to spend a production budget. One shoot can deliver a hero video, short social cuts in vertical and square formats, YouTube versions, and CTV-ready spots.
What is CTV advertising, and is it right for my business?
CTV (Connected TV) advertising places your video ads on streaming services like Hulu, Roku, and smart TV apps. It works like TV advertising but with digital targeting, so you can reach specific audiences by location and interest without a national TV budget. 36 Arms produces CTV-ready commercials built for streaming.
Do you record remote video interviews?
Yes. 36 Arms has recorded hundreds of remote interviews with high-quality audio and video, so your subject doesn’t need to be in Seattle, or even in the same country.
Where is 36 Arms located?
36 Arms is based in Edmonds, Washington, and works throughout Seattle, Bellevue, Everett, and the greater Puget Sound area. It also travels for projects. Past productions include multi-city interview series across two continents and recurring shoots in Las Vegas.
Who owns the footage when the project is finished?
You do. Your final videos and raw footage are yours to use.
Do you work with ad agencies and PR firms?
Yes. We regularly produce video for advertising agencies and PR firms across the Puget Sound area, either under the 36 Arms name or as an extension of your team. We provide consulting services for many agencies and PR firms as well.
