Documentary Production Services in Burbank

Blare Video produces a wide range of documentaries including corporate brand stories, nonprofit and cause-driven films, event documentaries, historical and educational pieces, and short-form documentary content for digital and social media platforms. We work with businesses, organizations, and independent filmmakers throughout the Burbank and greater Los Angeles area.

Timeline varies based on scope. A short corporate documentary (5–15 minutes) typically takes 4–8 weeks from pre-production through final delivery. Feature-length or multi-subject documentaries may require 3–6 months or more. We establish a clear production schedule during the planning phase so you always know where your project stands.

We shoot in 4K, 6K, and 8K Ultra HD using cinema-grade cameras including the RED Weapon Monstro, RED Epic Dragon, Sony FS7, Sony Venice 2, and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras. Format selection is tailored to your documentary's intended distribution — broadcast, streaming, theatrical, or digital — to ensure optimal image quality.

We handle the complete production pipeline: pre-production (concept development, scriptwriting, location scouting, casting), principal photography (crew, cameras, audio, aerial drone), and post-production (editing, color grading, sound design, music licensing, motion graphics, and final delivery). You can also engage us at any individual stage if needed.

Absolutely. With established production crews across Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Tucson, we can coordinate multi-location documentary shoots efficiently. Our project managers handle all logistics including scheduling, permitting, and equipment transport, so production stays seamless across every location your story requires.

Yes. We provide FAA-compliant aerial drone cinematography using 4K–6K drone systems. Drone footage is invaluable for establishing geographic context, capturing sweeping landscape shots, and adding cinematic scale to documentary sequences. Our drone pilots are experienced in both urban and remote location environments throughout Southern California.

Our post-production package includes narrative editing, color correction and grading, motion graphics and titles, 2D/3D animation where applicable, sound design, music scoring and licensing, voiceover recording, and custom delivery in formats suited to your distribution platform. All work is completed in our on-site professional editing suites.

The process begins with a discovery conversation where we learn about your story, goals, audience, and budget. From there, we develop a creative brief and production plan tailored to your project.
