Do I have to appear on camera?+
No. The service is designed for business owners who want professional marketing without being the on-screen talent.
Will the whole video be made by AI?+
Not unless that approach fits your project and you approve it. AI is an optional production tool. Every project is directed, assembled, and finished by 225 Productions.
What do I need to provide?+
For the $495 camera-free package, usually your logo, website or social links, details about the offer, and any photos, footage, or brand assets you want included. I will confirm the exact list before work begins.
What exactly does the $495 package cover?+
It is a fixed-price, camera-free package for one 15 to 30-second video with one focused message, professional editing and sound, captions, a branded end card, one revision round, and one agreed final format. It may use approved client-supplied materials, licensed stock media, graphics, voiceover, or optional AI-based elements within the agreed concept.
Does the $495 package include filming or actors?+
No. Original filming, actors, models, presenters, locations, crew, specialized equipment, travel, permits, props, wardrobe, and makeup are not included. A project requiring any of those items is live-action production and receives a separate written quote.
How is live-action video priced?+
Live-action production is custom quoted based on the concept, filming time, personnel, locations, equipment, travel, editing, deliverables, and schedule. Third-party costs are itemized for approval before they are booked or incurred.
When are production costs paid?+
A deposit is required before production is scheduled. Actor, location, permit, travel, equipment, and other third-party expenses may require advance payment before those resources are booked.
How quickly will you respond?+
New inquiries are reviewed within one business day. Project timing is confirmed in writing before production starts.
Will a video guarantee Google or AI-search rankings?+
No. No legitimate producer can guarantee placement in Google, Maps, or AI-generated results. The video gives your business an original, useful asset that can support a stronger presence across your website, YouTube, and social channels.
Is this an SEO service?+
No. This is a video production and content service. Your finished video can support your website and platform visibility, but it does not replace technical SEO, a complete Google Business Profile, reviews, or accurate business information.
Do you work with competing businesses?+
Yes. 225 Productions may serve businesses in the same industry, but confidential information, custom strategy, scripts, branding, and finished creative are kept separate. A competitor will not receive your custom concept.
Can I request market or category exclusivity?+
Yes, but exclusivity is not included in the $495 package. Any category, geographic, or market protection must be defined in a separate written agreement and priced to account for the work 225 Productions must decline.
