How much does a financial services video cost in NYC?

Financial services video production in NYC typically ranges from $5,000 for a single-day studio interview shoot to $50,000+ for a multi-location investor day with live streaming. Cost depends on production type (interview, animation, live event, recurring podcast), crew size, post-production needs, and whether compliance review is required. ASL provides same-day quotes and most projects are scoped within 24 hours of the initial call.

Do we need to prepare anything for interviews?

No! We will make sure to give you an idea of what to expect, what to wear (or not wear), how the process will work and some of the kinds of questions we plan to ask. We feel the best, most authentic responses are ones that come from having a conversation and not over preparing. We'll make sure you are comfortable throughout the process and look your best!

Can ASL handle SEC-regulated investor communications and earnings calls?

Yes. ASL has produced virtual investor days, earnings call backdrops, and CEO communications for publicly-traded firms. Our team understands the compliance review timelines, NDA protocols, and version-control requirements that come with SEC-regulated communications. We work with your IR team or legal counsel to ensure deliverables meet disclosure standards.

How quickly can ASL produce an earnings call video?

Standard earnings call video production takes 5–10 business days from shoot to delivery. ASL can compress this to same-day or next-day delivery for time-sensitive disclosures by deploying on-site editors during production. Live-streamed earnings broadcasts are produced in real time and available for video on demand (VOD) within hours of the call ending. We can do line cuts in the moment and employ fast turnaround to get you what you need quickly.

Where in NYC is ASL's video production studio located?

ASL Studios is at 320 W 37th Street, 10th Floor, in Midtown Manhattan, three blocks from Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Hudson Yards and Times Square. The facility includes three soundproof studios: a full-color cyclorama, a living room set, and a dedicated video podcast studio.

Can ASL live-stream a shareholder meeting or virtual investor day?

Yes. ASL can do this from your office, off-site or at our studio in midtown NYC. ASL operates a dedicated live streaming control room with multi-camera switching, real-time graphics, and simulcast capability across YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Zoom Webinar, and proprietary investor relations portals. We have produced virtual investor day live streams for publicly-traded firms.

What financial services firms has ASL worked with?

ASL has produced video content for Lincoln Financial, American Express, ADP, Alpha Financial, Billtrust, Regions, RSM, Stagwell, and Membrane Labs, among others. Work spans corporate company stories, animated explainers, virtual investor day live streams, recruiting videos, and ongoing podcast series.

Can ASL produce a financial podcast in NYC?

What's the typical turnaround for a financial corporate video?

A standard corporate video (interview-based, studio shoot, 2–3 minutes finished) typically takes 3–4 weeks from kickoff to final delivery: one week for pre-production and scripting, one day for the shoot, and 1.5–2 weeks for editing, color, and motion graphics. Animated explainers take 6–8 weeks. Time-sensitive turnarounds available.

VIDEO: FROM CONCEPT TO CREATION

Every moment lately has been packed with shoots, edits, and new projects. We covered a lot of ground from skincare spots to event panels to a project celebrating our very own neighborhood in Manhattan.

Here’s a taste of the projects that have kept us in constant motion this month.

Social Media Campaigns with Hand & Stone

Hand and Stone showed off the magical products that are used in their facial services.

All it took was one day to produce loads of great content over at Hand and Stone’s Pennsylvania Headquarters. Reps from Clarity RX, Dermalogica, and NuFace were on hand to make sure all the benefits of their products were on display.

Armed with a white backdrop, two cameras, and our new Apurture 300 dII, we gathered tons of great footage. With their product reps and several models on board, we spent the day highlighting the products in all their different uses. We even used our portable jib to rig up an overhead angle of the massage bed.

Spreading the Influence with Neutrogena

Neutrogena’s events bring together special panels, great venues, and one-of-a-kind products.

Neutrogena put on a one-of-a-kind event featuring social media influencers trying out their latest products in their Bright Boost collection powered by NeoGlucosamine.

Loads of influencers were on hand including Baby Driver’s Eiza Gonzalez. Gonzalez and three scientists took part in a panel discussion about Neutrogena’s latest groundbreaking skin products. ASL’s 4 person crew ran around with our Ronin S gimbal capturing the action. We then created an energetic sizzle recap. Be on the lookout for it on Instagram.

Marketing Videos with AmTrust

We worked with AmTrust to highlight the great work environment they provide their employees.

AmTrust is a multinational insurance company headquartered in New York City. We teamed up with them for a full day of shooting to deliver two key videos: a recruitment video and an on-boarding video for new hires. The action-packed day included motion-tracking shots with our Ronin M, and some stunning shots from above thanks to our DJI Mavic Pro 2 drone.

The shoot was tightly structured around scripted spots and a variety of shots capturing AmTrust employees in action.

We shot interviews and timelapses to capture what makes our neighborhood great.

ASL has called Hudson Square home for the past two years now. Located between Tribeca and the West Village, it’s a bustling area filled with great restaurants, wide streets, and a quickly growing business community. Needless to say, we were excited to take up a project with the Hudson Square Business Improvement District to celebrate their 10th Anniversary and highlight the great things taking shape here.

The future is bright for Hudson Square. With Google and Disney setting up massive offices in the area, it’s sure to become an even more interesting place to work. We’ve interviewed local business owners and administrative personnel to capture what it is that makes Hudson Square such a unique place to live and work.

More Action with PWC and Barstool Sports

The variety of projects we’ve been working on is never-ending. One day we’ll be shooting a Goodfellas-esque tracking shot through a Hooter’s, the next we’ll be shooting direct-to-camera messages for PWC. Though these seem like radically different worlds, it’s all part of the day-to-day for us here and we always deliver.
