Q&A
Common questions, clear answers
What is craft media?
We produce compelling media that celebrates folk arts and traditional crafts. Our videos and photos capture the authentic essence of artisans, making them perfect for digital storytelling, archives, and promotional campaigns.
Do we receive commercial usage rights?
Yes. Every project includes full usage rights so you can broadcast, distribute, and utilize the media for advertising. There are no hidden licensing fees.
How quickly is the media delivered?
First cuts are typically delivered within a couple of weeks following the shoot. For ongoing partnerships, we establish a reliable monthly delivery schedule.
What if we need revisions to an edit?
Every video project includes a round of revisions. Tell us what adjustments are needed and we'll refine it. We want you to have media you are proud to share.
Do the subjects have to speak on camera?
They can, but it isn't mandatory. We can record on-camera interviews, or focus purely on hands-at-work styles with a voiceover. We tailor the approach to fit your narrative.
