Video content is everywhere — from social media and websites to ads, livestreams, and corporate storytelling.  But many businesses still ask:  What does a video production company do?

 

This guide breaks it down clearly so you understand exactly how professional video production works — and which service is right for your project.

What Is a Video Production Company?

A video production company is a full-service team that creates professional video content from concept to final delivery.

 

Unlike a single videographer, a production company handles strategy, filming, editing, and storytelling as a complete system.


175 Productions provides video production support across Northern California, including Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Video Production Process (From Concept to Delivery)

Every project at 175 Productions follows a structured workflow:

1. Pre-Production (Planning & Strategy)

We define your goals, audience, messaging, and creative direction.

This includes:

  • Concept development
  • Scripting and storyboarding
  • Scheduling and logistics
  • Location planning

2. Production (Filming & Capture)

 This is where we bring your vision to life using professional equipment.

We handle:

  • Multi-camera setups
  • Lighting and audio design
  • On-site directing
  • Drone and specialty shots (if needed)

3. Post-Production (Editing & Delivery)

We transform raw footage into a polished final video.

This includes:

  • Video editing
  • Color grading
  • Sound design
  • Motion graphics
  • Final export for platforms

Video Production vs Videography

A videographer typically focuses on filming only.

 

A video production company provides:

  • Full creative direction
  • Multi-service production capabilities
  • Editing and post-production
  • Strategic storytelling
  • Platform-optimized content

 

👉 This is why businesses choose a full production team for marketing, events, and brand storytelling.
