FAQ

Production retainers — frequently asked

How does a Clearline production retainer work?
Retainers start at $3,000/month and include a set number of monthly shoot days, priority editing turnaround, and a dedicated crew that learns your brand. Unused capacity rolls over for 30 days. No long-term contracts — month-to-month with 30-day notice.
What's included in a typical monthly retainer?
Most retainers include 1-2 monthly shoot days, scheduled editing capacity, priority booking, and a designated production lead who knows your brand voice. Specific deliverable counts and asset types are scoped to your content cadence.
Who is a production retainer right for?
Companies producing content monthly — typically B2B SaaS, professional services, multi-location brands, or recruiting-heavy organizations. If you're producing 8+ pieces of branded video content per quarter, a retainer almost always costs less than per-project.
Can we scale a retainer up or down month-to-month?
Yes. Retainers flex around your real content needs. Larger campaign months can be added on top, slower months can use the time for catalog work or evergreen library shoots.
Do retainer clients get the same crew every shoot?
Yes — that's most of the value. Once we're 1-2 shoots in, your crew already knows your brand, your spaces, your stakeholders, and your edit preferences. Less briefing, faster turnaround, more consistent output.
Can a retainer cover photography in addition to video?
Yes. Photo and video can be combined in a single retainer. Many retainer clients use shoot days for both — capturing video b-roll and brand stills in the same visit to save coordination overhead.
