You have a choice, so why ci Productions?

ci Productions was borne from the film industry in Atlanta in the early 90’s. We were witness to the incredible amount of waste and cost overrun in that industry, and were determined to use that knowledge to bring a different model to the NC corporate video market. 

We take great pride in that we have developed long-term relationships with several clients – some even consider us the video production division of their company. We like to understand the companies we work with so that we can produce a product that feels like them.

Our pricing structure is designed to fit the client and their needs, coupled with their desired budget range. We don’t have employees that you have to pay for when they aren’t actively working on your project. However, we’ve built a team of NC based contractors over the years that we can utilize on a per-project basis, drastically reducing your cost.
