Video production: your questions answered

Who is behind Arty-Shock?

Arty-Shock is the video production brand of SeeSaw GmbH, led by Yehuda Swed in Berlin.

We bring together camera, sound and editing specialists for each brief. You work directly with Yehuda from the first conversation to delivery.

How much does video production cost?

We price each film individually, based on the agreed production scope.

The concept, crew, shoot days, locations, editing and delivery versions shape the quote. Share your brief, intended channels and budget so we can define what is included.

How long does video production take?

We agree the production and delivery schedule once the brief and scope are clear.

Tell us your launch date at the start. We plan preparation, filming, editing and feedback around that deadline and confirm whether it is achievable before booking.

Which video formats can you deliver?

We can deliver landscape, portrait and square versions for the channels agreed in your brief.

We define lengths, aspect ratios, captions and language versions before production. This keeps website films, presentation videos and social cutdowns aligned with the agreed scope.

Can you help with the concept and script?

Yes. We develop concepts, interview approaches and scripts before filming.

We start with your audience, core message and intended use. You can bring an existing idea or ask us to develop the creative approach from your brief.

Do you film outside Berlin?

Yes. We are based in Berlin and produce films across Germany and Europe.

We plan the crew, equipment and travel around your locations and schedule. Location and travel requirements are included in the project planning and quote.

Can we produce in English and German?

Yes. We work in English and German.

Interview languages, subtitles and separate language versions are agreed during planning. Tell us about any other language requirements in your brief.

How many revision rounds are included?

Revision rounds are tailored to each project. Two rounds are typical, but your accepted project quote specifies how many are included.

Please send consolidated feedback for each round. Additional rounds or changes to the agreed brief are quoted separately and require your approval before work begins.

When can we use the finished film?

The agreed usage rights transfer after full payment.

Your quote defines the intended use and the rights included. We agree the channels, territory and duration before production, so you know where and how you can publish the film.
