A State-of-the-Art Audio/Video Studio
A Proven Production Process
Cutting-Edge Technology and the Know-How To Use It

A State-of-the-Art Audio/Video Studio

Located in the heart of downtown St. Louis on Laclede’s Landing, Abstrakt Studios is home to a soundproof live room that is second to none. Not only does our dedicated studio space have the most advanced equipment available, but it can also accommodate almost any setup imaginable.

Our flexible space is the ideal location for professional video production and audio recording and is the perfect setting for client testimonial videos. What helps set us apart from other production companies is the studio itself and our proven video production process. Our process combines production value with creativity and strategy.

A Team of Video Visionaries

The most advanced studio space, highest-quality equipment, and tried-and-true process all go to waste without a creative, imaginative, and dedicated team to turn your ideas into compelling videos. The team of visionaries at Abstrakt Studios truly cares about creating a strategic partnership with businesses that share our growth-focused mindset.

Our team believes the most incredible storytelling comes from the smallest ideas. That’s why we bring a collaborative approach to video production. A casual comment or funny anecdote from a client can lead to a commercial or collateral video that resonates with your target audience.

Award-Winning Results

The most rewarding part of video production is delivering a product that we are proud of and helps our clients grow. We don’t make videos to win awards; we make them to help you spread your message to the world. However, when you combine our expertise, top-of-the-line studio, and creative storytelling, you’re bound to get noticed.

Since 2018 we’ve been honored with 16 awards, including six to date in 2021 alone. Thanks to the trust our clients put in us, we’ve won some of the most distinguished awards in the industry, including:

Backed by the Largest Marketing Firm in St. Louis

When you choose Abstrakt Studios, you have a partner backed by the nation’s most recognized B2B lead generation company, Abstrakt Marketing Group. Abstrakt is an industry-leading appointment-setting firm that uses strategic processes and proven sales techniques to build predictable sales pipelines that turn prospects into clients.

Our video production services are just one of the several marketing services we use to grow your business. The team of marketing experts at Abstrakt knows precisely how to use your video on a website strategically developed with SEO in mind or as marketing collateral to bring your company more recognition and a greater return on investment.

Video and Messaging Versatility

There’s no doubting the value of video marketing, but how you plan to use your video determines much of our production strategy. The objective of a TV commercial is likely to be much different than a corporate video. That’s why we conceptualize custom videos based on your needs, goals, and desires.

Corporate Videos

Corporate videos are an ideal way to profile your culture, vision, and services. Whether it’s a “Why Us” video or testimonial, Abstrakt Studios ensures your message is highlighted in an appealing way that drives interest from potential clients or prospective employees.

TV Commercials

Whether you have a big sale to announce or want to build brand recognition, TV commercials remain one of the best options available. We have the experience and industry knowledge required to determine the optimal visual and audible messaging and strategy to reach your targets

B2B Sales Video Collateral

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been forced to sit through some excruciatingly boring collateral videos. Abstrakt Studios has the creativity, messaging expertise, and production skills to create videos that show off your services and products in a way that excites viewers. Set yourself apart from competitors with videos that balance story, strategy, and vision.

In-House Animated Video Production

Using animation is an incredibly effective way to make complex information easily digestible for audiences. When you’re looking to demonstrate how your company solves problems, explain the customer journey, illustrate proprietary processes, or tell your story, animation just makes sense. Abstrakt Studios’ in-house team of animators uses animation to bring real-life messaging to customers’ screens.

A Proven Production Process

Our five-step process was developed through years of experimentation and learning what did and didn’t connect with audiences while creating videos that captured our company vision and culture. Once we mastered our own messaging, we knew it was time to use our process to help our clients grow their businesses.

Creative Discovery

Every video starts as an idea. The steps you take to flesh those ideas out play a vital role in determining the success of your video. The Abstrakt Studios team works with you to learn your backstory and crucial information to align our capabilities with your expectations. During the first step, we determine how you plan to use your video, how long it should be, who you’re trying to reach, messaging, and the end goal of your production. Once we have a clear understanding, we brainstorm creative ways to bring your ideas to life.

Preproduction and Planning

After determining the creative aspects of your project, the next step is to begin making those ideas a reality. Our team tackles a wide range of activities, including:

Budgeting
Scheduling
Casting
Scripting
Storyboarding
Location scouting
And much more

Production

Once all the planning elements are accounted for and ready to shoot, it’s time to get your story on camera. Whether you choose to shoot in our studio or on location, our comprehensive production team captures visual and audio recordings with professional direction, lighting, voiceover, and animation services.

Post-Production

Once shooting has ended, it’s time to turn raw footage into an eye-catching, informative, and engaging video. Some clients love to take a hands-on approach during this step, while others trust us to turn their vision into video. The Abstrakt Studios team offers supervised and unsupervised post-production reviews, allowing you to be as involved in the process as you want to be.

During post-production, our team handles:

Editing
Color correction
Grading
Music
Sound effects

Reveal and Repeat

Never has the phrase “save the best for last” been more accurate. The final step of our video creation process is revealing your new corporate video, TV commercial, collateral, or custom video to you. Abstrakt Studios also handles any media encoding, cloud-based file delivery, and YouTube channel management required to help spread your video to the world.

We’re confident that you’ll be like many of our other clients who are so thrilled with their new video that they’re eager to start shooting the next one. That’s why we’ve worked so hard to create a reliable, repeatable process.

Cutting-Edge Technology and the Know-How To Use It

It takes a lot more than creativity and engaging content to create a compelling video. You need to work with industry-leading tools for the refined, professional look and feel of a well-produced video. Abstrakt Studios provides access to state-of-the-art gear to ensure your video looks and sounds incredible.

Some of the tools we use include:

On-Location Availability

There’s no better way to showcase your business and operations than to give people a glimpse of your facilities. Abstrakt Studios has full capabilities to shoot your video anywhere, including from high above with our drones. Whether you’re a car dealership wanting to advertise a big sale or a portable debris dump box company looking to show off the advantages of your product, we have the know-how and tools to bring your ideas to life on the small screen.
