FAQs

Clear answers about deliverables, turnaround, pricing and how we work with your team.

What can one event or interview day produce?

Depending on the engagement, one production can become a polished flagship video, 10–15 short-form clips, interview edits, speaker soundbites, captioned vertical and horizontal versions, and organized footage. We design the deliverables around your communications priorities before production begins.

How quickly will we receive the content?

Standard engagements include first edits within five business days. Rapid 72-hour and same or next day turnaround may be available when arranged in advance.

What does a typical engagement cost?

Policy and Executive Interview Days start at $4,500. Event Content Engines start at $9,500. Monthly content partnerships typically begin at $7,500 per month. Every proposal clearly defines the crew, deliverables, schedule and included revisions.

Can you work with our internal team or agency?

Yes. Ursa 8 can serve as your direct production partner or operate as a white-label extension of an agency or communications team. You retain the strategy, client relationship and political judgment; we handle capture, cinematography, editing and delivery.

How do revisions work?

Two focused revision rounds are included in standard engagements. We ask your team to consolidate feedback so edits remain fast and organized. Additional revisions or material scope changes can be added when needed.

Where does Ursa 8 work?

We are based in Northern Virginia and regularly serve Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland. We also travel for national projects when the scope requires it.
