SECRET SAUCE

Great videos created
by great people.

Our team is everything. Some famous person once said, "Great ideas need landing gear as well as wings." It's true, especially in the arena of video marketing. Everybody's got big ideas, but greatness happens when skilled creators roll up their sleeves.

Our secret sauce is the individuals behind the camera. Sparkhouse is made from the offbeat brains of dedicated, hungry video pros who live to make really cool videos. Videos that are adventurous and unpredictable, that take clients further than they thought they could go.

HOW WE DO IT

The Sparkhouse Process

Pre-Production

During pre-production, this is when big decisions are made and key resources are gathered. We’re mapping out your story with mood boards, storyboards and scripts, and prepping for the shoot with casting, location scouting, wardrobe and more.

Production

Process icons

Lights, camera, action! No matter how elaborate your video, our production team comes ready to crush production day — and we're going for the gold in every single scene.    

Post-production

Process icons

In the cutting room, our editing magicians bring all the pieces of your video together and fold in special effects, graphics, music and sound mixing. We’ll want your input and sign-off at every turn to ensure the final cut is flawless.
