In a world where people decide in a fraction of a second if something is worth watching, commercials face the toughest challenge. They interrupt the main event – a show, a video, a feed – and have to earn attention fast. When you’re only given a split-second, let’s make the most of it.
Commercial Video Production: Elevate Your Brand
Why Choose Commercial Video Production?
Commercials have the rare advantage of a captive audience: when they run, people see them. The challenge is that people only remember the ones that really hit or really miss, while everything else falls through the cracks. At Take5 Digital, we want to help you seize this advantage and turn your captive audience into a captivated audience.
Our experienced commercial videographers follow a refined process built for both TV commercial production and digital campaigns, delivering commercials for trusted brands such as Whirlpool, Hardrock, and Chapman’s Ice Cream. We make sure your commercial is the one they remember – and for all the right reasons.

Our Approach to Commercial Video Production
Commercials fall flat when they’re treated as just another assignment. We believe the passion of the people behind them matters just as much as the quality of the script or camera. That’s why our approach starts with a connection: building a clear understanding of your brand, your audience, and the impact you want to make. Our approach is really just a projection of your own.
We have access to the full spectrum of production tools: steadicam, cranes, high-speed cameras, drones, and everything in between, but we never choose gear for its own sake. Every setup is built around what the story needs, whether that's big cinematic impact or something beautifully simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How is a commercial video different from a corporate or brand video?
Commercial videos are built with a clear marketing objective in mind, such as driving awareness, consideration, or sales, and often within defined formats like TV, paid social, or digital advertising. While corporate and brand videos may focus more on storytelling or internal communication, commercials are designed to perform and deliver measurable results.
-
How long does the commercial video production process take?
From green light to final delivery, most commercial projects take around six weeks. Timelines can vary based on creative development, approvals, filming complexity, and post-production requirements such as VFX or animation. Projects with a fully developed concept may move faster, while more involved creative processes may extend the timeline.
-
Do you handle concept development and scripting, or do we need to provide that?
We can support the process at any stage. You can come to us with a simple objective and we’ll develop the creative concept and script, or you can provide a complete brief and have us execute against it. Our process is designed to be flexible and collaborative.
-
Can you produce commercials for TV, social, and digital platforms?
Yes. We produce commercial content for TV, social media, and digital platforms. We also support distribution planning to ensure each version is optimized for its intended platform. The goal is to maximize reach, performance, and consistency across channels.
-
What level of involvement is required from our team?
We aim to keep the process streamlined and efficient. Your primary involvement is providing direction early on and timely approvals at key milestones. While you’re always welcome to be hands-on, attend shoots, or shape creative decisions, we provide a turnkey solution that minimizes demands on your internal team.
-
Will we receive multiple versions or cutdowns of the commercial?
Yes, when it’s planned for during the creative and strategic phase. We take a campaign-driven approach, designing cutdowns intentionally rather than simply shortening the main spot. This may include platform-specific edits, six-second versions, teasers, or social-first content, often captured and planned for during production to maximize impact.
