FAQ

Answers you need, insights you can trust.

Everything clients ask before the cameras roll: what a production costs, how long it takes, how the studio and gear book, and what happens in post. If your question isn’t here, a real producer answers the phone.

01

Working with Influence


What we make, what it costs, and how a production actually runs.

Commercial video production, branded content, music videos, photography, and full-scale creative campaigns. We work with businesses of all sizes, from local brands to national companies, and the crew travels: Influence shoots in dozens of cities across the country and around the world. The strength is combining high-end production with strategic marketing, so every project looks great and performs.

Project costs vary with scope, crew size, shoot length, and deliverables. Most professional productions fall into tiered ranges rather than one-size-fits-all pricing. Influence builds custom quotes tailored to your goals, timeline, and budget. Transparency is a core value: you'll always know exactly what you're paying for.

You don't need anything figured out. That's the job. Influence offers full creative direction: concept development, scripting, shot planning, and visual style. Bring a clear vision or just a goal, and the team shapes it into a polished, effective production.

Most productions follow pre-production → production → post-production. Smaller projects can finish in a couple of weeks; larger commercial campaigns take several weeks from concept to delivery. Timelines are communicated upfront and kept.

The in-house ecosystem: production, marketing strategy, studios, and gear rentals all under one roof. Projects move faster, stay consistent, and arrive on one bill from one accountable team. The visuals are purpose-built to perform.

Every project is built strategy-first around a real business goal, whether that's awareness, conversions, engagement, or sales. It is never just for looks: the strategy is decided before the cameras roll, so the work is built to perform from day one.

Book a consultation and we'll walk through your goals, ideas, and timeline, then recommend the best approach and build a plan that fits your brand and budget. Call (602) 641-4850 or book online.

The Studio


Booking Arizona's most versatile 10,000 sq ft creative facility.

Yes. The entire 10,000 sq ft Glendale facility books by the hour online: the LED volume wall, the 2,000+ sq ft cyc wall, the podcast suite, the portrait studio, and standing narrative sets (sci-fi lab, bedroom, bar).

A 30×10 ft LED screen, the highest quality in Arizona, built for virtual production. Real-time environments, dynamic lighting, and finished-in-camera VFX with zero green screen.

Yes. The 500 sq ft sound-treated podcast studio seats up to 8 guests, with eight professional microphones, a board that supports every one of them, and lighting included. The on-site team is available to produce, and cameras are available as an add-on. Bookings include use of the dressing and green room.

Lighting and audio are included with the studio. Cameras, lenses, and camera support are not: most renters bring their own, and if you need one, cameras rent as an add-on for $150. Bookings also include use of the dressing and green room.

Regular hours run Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, with after-hours (to 11pm) and full weekends bookable. Individual spaces start at $49/hr for production, the cyc wall and LED wall at $90/hr, and the full-studio takeover at $149/hr. After-hours rates are higher and every price shows live in the booking calendar.

Absolutely. The portrait studio alone has seven distinct sets, including a motorized seamless wall with six backdrop colors, an elevator set, a Victorian book wall, a 40 ft curtain set, a doodle wall, and a 150 sq ft grass wall. And photographers aren't limited to it: every space in the building books the same way.

03

Equipment & Rentals


Pro gear through Influence Rentals, the same tools we shoot with.

Yes. Influence Rentals carries hundreds of pieces of professional gear, and the list grows constantly: cinema cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, monitors, audio, drones, and livestream kits. Book online with delivery available anywhere in the Phoenix Valley.

Yes. Our licensed drone operators capture cinematic aerial footage for landscapes, architecture, automotive, and events, every flight flown with precision and full safety compliance.

Influence proudly backs Arizona's independent film community: studio rental for indie projects, crew resources, gear at fair rates, and post-production support to festival standard.

04

Post-Production & Marketing


What happens after the cameras stop.

The post department runs the same technology trusted by major studios (Unreal Engine, DaVinci Resolve, Cinema 4D, After Effects, Autodesk Maya) for CGI, motion graphics, 3D animation, compositing, and color. We also build assets on our own proprietary in-house 3D modeling pipeline, which is the part most production companies rent or outsource.

That's the Influence Marketing arm: social amplification, YouTube strategy, SEO, and paid media. Production and distribution under one roof is the whole point.

Everything the campaign needs: broadcast masters, web and social cuts (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), captioned versions, and platform-optimized exports.
