Corporate and recruitment films
Interviews, office b-roll and culture films for hiring campaigns, internal communications and company profiles.
From brief to final cut
- Brief and treatment. One brief, then a treatment with the idea, references, tone and a one-line throughline everyone signs off before money is spent.
- Pre-production. Shot list, run of show, casting, styling, locations and permits, plus a crew and gear plan. Nothing gets improvised that should have been planned.
- Shoot days. Single or multi-team days, so photo and video run in parallel and one day on set covers the hero film, the stills and the social content.
- Post-production. Editing, colour, sound and motion graphics, then versioning into every length and format you need: 6, 15 and 30 seconds; 9:16, 4:5 and 16:9.
- Delivery and usage. Final files organised for your team and your media plan, with usage rights agreed in writing up front.
Why production and media should share a building
Most production houses hand over the files and leave. MKD Films sits next to MK Digital’s media team, so we know which hooks, formats and lengths actually perform in paid and organic, and every shoot is planned around that data. You get films that look like the brand, and assets that work inside an ad account.
- Content planned for placements, not just for the main edit.
- Cut-downs and variations on the shot list, not salvaged in post.
- Live campaign data shaping the next shoot.
- One team from brief to media plan, so nothing is lost between agency and production house.
If you need the content run as well as made, see social media marketing and paid media.
What video production costs in the Philippines
Video production pricing in the Philippines is driven by crew size, shoot days, talent, locations and the amount of post-production. A single-camera social content day and a multi-day commercial with cast, art department and permits are different products, so compare quotes against the same brief.
What drives the cost
- Shoot days and crew size. How many units, how many days, how many setups.
- Talent and casting, including usage fees for how long and where the content runs.
- Locations, permits and studio hire.
- Art direction and styling: props, set dressing, wardrobe and food styling.
- Post-production: edit, colour, sound, motion and the number of versions.
- Travel for shoots outside Metro Manila.

Video production FAQs
How much does video production cost in the Philippines?
It depends on crew size, shoot days, talent, locations and post-production. A social content day costs a fraction of a multi-day commercial with cast and permits. MKD Films quotes every job against a written brief, usually within 48 hours.
How long does a video production take?
A social content shoot can be planned, shot and delivered within a couple of weeks. A commercial with casting, locations and permits usually needs several weeks from brief to final cut. We give you a timeline with the proposal.
Do you handle talent, locations and permits?
Yes. We cast talent, scout and book locations, and coordinate permits with the relevant city or property owner as part of pre-production.
Can you shoot photo and video on the same day?
Yes. Multi-team shoot days run photo and video in parallel, so one day on set can cover a hero film, stills and social content.
Do you shoot outside Metro Manila?
Yes. MKD Films is built to travel, for resort, property and brand shoots across the Philippines and abroad.
Do we get the raw footage?
Deliverables, raw-file handover and usage rights are agreed in writing in every proposal, so there are no surprises after the shoot.
Can you produce content for our ads and social media?
That is what we do best. Every shoot is planned with placements in mind, and MK Digital can run the social media and paid media that use it.
