Testimonial video production in St. Petersburg
Updated September 22, 2026
The most convincing thing in your marketing is a customer explaining, in their own words, what changed. We interview them at your place, ask the questions that get past "they were great," and cut it into short clips for the feed and a longer piece for your site. St. Petersburg is home turf for us: no travel line, same two people, same rates.

How do you get a good testimonial on camera?
You don't hand them a script. You ask what was going on before they found you, what almost stopped them from calling, and what's different now. People are specific when they're remembering, and specific is what sells. We film it during a normal shoot day so it feels like a conversation, not a deposition.
How many testimonials do I need?
Three good ones beat ten polite ones. One per kind of customer you want more of. A gym wants the member who was scared to walk in, the one who competes, and the one who just wanted to keep up with their kids. A broker wants a first-time buyer and a seller who'd been burned before.
Where do testimonial videos go?
Thirty-second cuts in the feed, one a week between your own talking clips. The longer piece on your pricing page or next to your booking button, where someone is deciding. And in the follow-up email after a call. A testimonial parked in a portfolio page does nothing.
How does testimonial videos work in St. Petersburg?
St. Pete is thirty minutes over the Howard Frankland from us and we treat it as home. No travel line for St. Petersburg or south Pinellas. St. Petersburg, Gulfport, Largo, Pinellas Park and the beaches, on the same terms.
Who we film in St. Petersburg: owner-run gyms and studios, founders downtown, and the venues and festivals along the waterfront. The owner is the brand in every one of those, so the camera points at the owner and the business rides behind. The planning, editing, captions and posting run from Tampa either way, and you approve cuts from your phone in RSoperations.
Here's where I disagree with most St. Petersburg testimonial videos
They're lit like a hostage video and written like a press release. Film the customer where they actually use your business, let them ramble a little, and cut the one sentence that made you sit up. That sentence is the whole video.

What it costs
Testimonials are folded into a retainer shoot day at no extra charge when the customers can come to you. As a stand-alone day they're quoted like any project day, edit included. See the retainer numbers on the pricing page. No travel line for St. Petersburg.
The full breakdown is on the pricing page. Book a call and we give you one number, not a menu.

- Yes, inside Tampa Bay. Further out is a travel line we tell you about first.
- Do we need a release?
- Yes. A one-line release on the day. We bring it.
- Is there a travel charge for St. Petersburg?
- No. No travel line for St. Petersburg or south Pinellas. St. Petersburg, Gulfport, Largo, Pinellas Park and the beaches, on the same terms.

- A planning call this week, then the first shoot usually inside two weeks. First cuts land in the week after the shoot.
