One field-tested crew turns the work you already do into content that wins jobs, staffs the crew, and finally makes you look as good online as your work looks in the field.
A walkthrough of how we work with contractors — what a shoot day covers, how fast it comes back, and what you end up owning.
You are not short on work ethic. You are short on a way to show it. These are the three things contractors tell us on the first call — every single time.
We do not make videos for video’s sake. We build content around a real problem in your business — winning jobs, staffing the crew, looking like the pro you are — then put it to work.
Every visit is built to produce a main video, social cuts, and photos — one shoot day, a stack of assets.
Most agencies hand you a final cut and keep the rest. We hand you everything — every video, every photo, every clip, tagged, searchable, and yours to keep. Your team finds the shot they need in 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.
From the first call to content that's working for you, you'll always know exactly what happens next.
Hiring a video partner shouldn’t feel like a gamble. So we took the three things you’re probably weighing off the table.
C.W. Matthews is one of the Southeast’s largest highway and heavy-construction contractors. Safety is priority number one there, which makes a film crew that doesn’t know how to move around heavy equipment a non-starter.
We price the problem, not a rate card. Three things drive the scope: how many production days you need, how many deliverables come out of each one, and how often we are on site — a single project, a quarterly refresh, or a monthly partnership. Travel and accommodations are built in, so there are no variable travel costs and no change-order games. On the strategy call we scope it against your goals and put a flat number in writing before you commit to anything.
Anywhere. We are based in Fort Mill, SC and we have shot coast to coast. We show up jobsite-ready — PPE on, gear packed, no babysitting required — and travel and accommodations are included in our pricing.
Our crew is OSHA 10 certified and our drone pilots are FAA Part 107 licensed. We bring our own hard hats, vests, glasses, and boots, brief with your superintendent, and work around your schedule instead of stopping it. C.W. Matthews put it this way: “Having CDS be so comfortable around heavy equipment really brings a peace of mind to us. Their heads are on a swivel, and they’re not going to be a safety concern for us.”
First cut within 3–5 business days on most projects — including weekends. For live events and trade shows we are often turning content around same-day so you can post while the show is still on.
You do. Every final video, every photo, and all the raw assets live in your searchable library and are yours to keep — whether we work together for one project or ten years. Most agencies hand you a final cut and keep the rest. We hand you everything.
We build flex into the schedule and reschedule around weather at no penalty. It comes with the territory in this industry, and we plan for it.
A signed proposal and a short onboarding form. From there we build the plan, lock the schedule, and you are mostly hands-off until it is time to shoot.
