There is the freelance videographer who is affordable and shoots everything the same way, and there is the coastal agency that quotes like it is still filming in Los Angeles. Neither is built for a business that needs video that actually performs.
We sit in the middle on price and above both on standard. Maken Media is a video production company based in Scottsdale, and the same crew and gear behind brand work for Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary and national telehealth campaigns runs your shoot too. You can see every one of those projects, and what each did for the client, on our production portfolio.
Whether you need one brand film that carries your positioning for the next three years, or twenty short-form videos a month feeding your social and your ads, it is the same team and the same bar. Builders and trades are a large share of the work we shoot in the Valley: start with construction video marketing in Phoenix if that is you.
Pools, landscaping, roofing, solar, med spas, real estate.
Content and ad creative at volume.
Brand films, interviews, launches.
Event films, book launches, activations.
A business with no way to turn content and marketing into revenue.
Not a sizzle reel of other people's footage. Three projects, three completely different jobs to do, all produced end to end by the same Scottsdale team that would shoot yours.

Learn more →A solo videographer is one person with a camera. A production crew brings a director, camera, lighting, sound and an editor, so the footage holds up next to national brand work.
You need a quick event recap, one talking-head clip, or coverage where a single camera and a simple edit are enough.
The video has to sell: brand films, commercials, executive interviews, product launches, or anything a customer or investor will judge you by.
Maken Media runs as a crew and scales down to a two-person unit for smaller shoots, so you never pay for gear or people the job does not need.
Every review below is verbatim from our Google listing. No edits, no cherry-picked fragments.
“My business, Halos n Horns, hired Maken Media to film a commercial, take photos for my event, and also cover the event itself—and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Sam is not only an incredibly kind person, but also extremely professional. He always shows up on time (if not early), comes prepared, and delivers high-quality work every single time. If you’ve seen his work, you already know how talented he is—his creativity and attention to detail really stand out.”
“Working with Maken Media was a great experience. They were professional, easy to work with, and did an excellent job creating ads that looked high-quality and really represented our business well. The process was smooth from start to finish, and the final result exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for help with marketing or advertising.”
“Best Media Company around! I’ve worked with Sam for many years and he’s my favorite person to film with hands down! His company is extremely innovative and always delivers beyond expectations. The owner is one of the hardest working men I’ve ever worked with. Whether you need action shots or interviews Maken Media is the company I always recommend.”
Straight answer, because everyone asks and almost nobody publishes it. A half-day with one camera starts at $1,500, a full day with a two-person crew starts at $2,500, and a brand film runs $3,000 to $10,000. Final cost depends on crew size, shoot length and how many finished cuts you need.
Four hours on site, one camera, lighting and sound, one finished hero edit plus three vertical cuts. Interviews, podcasts, a product piece, an event recap.
Eight hours, two cameras, a second operator, drone where it earns its place. Conferences, launches, multi-location shoots, a full content day with five or more finished cuts.
When the video has to sell. Director, crew, motion graphics and several finished cuts. See the production company page for that work.
We are based in Scottsdale and shoot across Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Paradise Valley, Glendale, and Peoria with no travel charge. For larger productions we travel nationally, and have shot campaigns well outside Arizona for global brands.
