ELEVATE YOUR BRAND
WITH VIDEO CONTENT
Hello, I'm Tom Strojnik, the founder of Video-Story productions, where we specialize in content creation in a diverse range of niches, including automotive, aviation, corporate, events, lifestyle, nautical, and tourism.
We are based between Slovenia and the rest of the world. For most projects, we operate with a small team of 1-2 individuals and expand the team as needed, depending on the project's size and specific requirements.
Whether it's doing air-to-air plane shoots in the USA, filming boats around the Croatian islands, capturing the awe-inspiring landscapes of a Kenyan safari, or soaring through the skies while paragliding in Pakistan, we thrive on challenges.
We're also proud to work on projects in our beautiful home country, Slovenia, known for its stunning landscapes, including mountains, lakes, rivers, cities, vineyards, and scenic roads. We actively support local businesses and welcome others to use Slovenia's beauty as a backdrop for their projects.
We care about creating real, inspiring stories, and we're ready to work closely with your marketing team to uncover the genuine essence of your story.
Video-Story Productions started as a dream, but we turned it into reality. Today, we're eager to listen to your dream and produce incredible visuals that can not only elevate your brand but also make a meaningful impact on someone's life.
Let's make your dream a reality.

Video is arguably the most effective tool for quickly building 'like, know, and trust' with your brand's audience.
Here is a list of some of the most common types of videos we do that can elevate your business:
- Video Business Card: A quick 2-3 minute video that showcases your business visually and gets people excited about working with you.
- Social media shorts: Typically lasting around 30-60 seconds, serve to provide value to your audience and help you stay on top of their minds. It's recommended you post at least couple of times per week, but keep in mind: quality over quantity!
- Promotional Videos: These videos are designed to effectively advertise a specific product or service.
- Brand Videos: Our goal with brand videos is to raise awareness of your business and expand your audience.
- Documentaries: Our documentary-style videos offer a unique approach to visual storytelling that will captivate your audience.
- Internal Training Videos: These videos can save you a significant amount of time by replacing repetitive tasks. Use them to educate your employees and customers.
- Explainer Videos: Our professionally crafted explainer videos focus on your products and services, increasing sales conversion rates.
- Testimonial Videos: We understand the importance of trust and credibility. Testimonial videos are an excellent way to build trust with your audience.
All of these videos can be utilized to enhance your website, for social media advertising, TV advertising, internal education, email signatures, pitches for investors, expo presentations, and many more.
The fundamental principles of video marketing are applicable across all industries.
We follow a structured approach and our team has experience producing videos across a diverse range of industries.
Simply creating beautiful visuals isn't enough. The quality and relevance of the videos content are what capture and retain the audience's attention.
Two most commonly neglected but essential steps are:
- Pre-production video strategy: in the planning stage, we reverse engineer the outcome you want for your video and create a plan for capturing the necessary, meaningful content.
- Distribution: Why produce a video if your target audience never watches it? That's why when it comes to sharing your video, we help you understand how to reach your intended audience.
It's perfectly normal to feel nervous on camera :) We can use teleprompters to ease those nerves if needed. If you have a lot of text to deliver, we use a teleprompter to make sure you don't forget any of it.
Our strategy and planning process will help you feel less anxious. We will do our best to make the entire process effortless for you.
Absolutely not! You have the freedom to decide your level of involvement.
We will not pressure you to appear on camera if you're uncomfortable with it.
We also have alternative solutions available.
While we follow a standard process for all types of videos, the time it takes to complete a project can vary due to several factors.
Factors like client availability, external conditions such as weather, and the complexity of the production all come into play.
But to provide some perspective, a typical local service-based business, usually takes around 1-3 weeks to deliver the final product. However, please keep in mind that this timeframe can be influenced by the factors mentioned earlier.
For event filming and urgent requests, we can deliver the video within 1-2 days for an additional fee, which will be agreed upon in advance.
There’s no correct answer here. In nearly all cases, you can have as much or as little involvement as you desire.
If you want to be hands on at every step, you’ll be able to. If you want to leave all decision making to us, that’s fine too!
Every project is unique and creativity knows no bounds. Just tell us your vision, and we'll start working on it and explore various possibilities.
Some clients come to us seeking a similar look and feel to our previous work, and we can use it as a starting point, but it doesn't mean we have to replicate everything.
The truth is, nobody can guarantee a video will go viral, and you should be cautious of anyone who claims they can.
However, we do possess knowledge about strategies and video elements that can significantly enhance your chances.
Going viral is unpredictable and depends on your definition of 'viral,' but in most cases, it's impossible to exactly predict.
Based between Slovenia and the rest of the world.
We have successfully executed many projects in our home country and globally, including in:
- Numerous European countries
- Egypt
- Kenya
- Kuwait
- Pakistan
- South Korea
- The United States

We're proud to work on projects in our beautiful home country, Slovenia, known for its stunning landscapes, including mountains, lakes, rivers, cities, vineyards, and scenic roads. We actively support local businesses and welcome others to use Slovenia's beauty as a backdrop for their projects.
It's not enough that a video has stunning visuals; its content needs to be relevant to your audiences objectives.
In the pre-production process, we dive deep to effectively plan your videos content in a way that will help:
- increase your brand's reach,
- establish trust,
- deliver value.
The foundation behind every successful video is to really understand your audience and create a plan that will help your brand connect with them.
Some projects are carefully planned, while others take on a more spontaneous documentary style.
But yes, pre-production is necessary for all videos, but for the most simplest ones, it only takes a few minutes of discussion to confirm all the details.
However for more complex projects it involves comprehensive planning, script development, location scouting, and coordinating various elements to ensure a smooth and successful production.
The complexity of multi-day shoots or projects with challenging requirements demands careful consideration of logistics, equipment, talent, and timelines.
This level of preparation is essential to deliver high-quality results.
Included in our package are script services, should you need them.
If you prefer to write your own, it's recommended to consult with us to ensure it aligns with the visual concept.
Script:
A written text we prepare for your interview headshots. We can load this text into a teleprompter app, allowing you to read it while looking directly into the camera. This helps ensure a smooth and confident delivery of your message.
Shot List:
The shot list ensures that nothing is overlooked during filming. It's a detailed breakdown of all the specific shots or camera setups needed to capture a scene.
It includes information about the type of shot (e.g., wide shot, close-up, medium shot), camera angles, camera movements, and any additional notes related to each shot.
We'll talk about this during our strategy call. We of course want to hear your ideas and we have the experience to write scripts that are persuasive, emotional, funny, or even epic if that's what you want.
How can I make my video stand out in my industry?
Unique Storytelling: Use visual storytelling to highlight what makes your brand or message unique.
Be Real: Be yourself in your video. People like genuine content they can relate to.
Know Your Audience: Understand what your audience likes and cares about. Make videos that speak to their needs and interests.
Connect Emotionally: Make people feel something when they watch your video. Emotional videos are memorable.
Stay Consistent: Use the same look and message in all your videos. Consistency helps people remember your brand.
We use various online tools to share files, including hidden web pages on this website, WeTransfer, Google Docs, etc.
This means you can access all our pre-production documents, and we can work together to get the best result.
Leaving comments is simple and has always helped make the final result better.
How many crew members will be on shoot?
On a lot of projects, I (Tom Strojnik) typically work alone or in a small team of two, which enhances our efficiency and agility for quick decision-making, and making it a cost-effective approach.
However, for more demanding projects that require additional support, we have a strong network, and we involve more individuals to help bring your ideas to life.
We have a versatile selection of professional video equipment at our disposal, ensuring that we select the most suitable tools for each project's unique requirements.

- Canon R

It can take just a few hours or multiple days. It depends on the complexity of the project, the number of scenes to be filmed, and the resources available.
We usually do either half-day filming or full-day filming.
A half-day typically spans around 2 to 5 hours of video shooting. It is often used for simpler projects, such as interviews, short social media videos, drone videos and one location simple scenes. A half-day shoot is a cost-effective and a time-efficient option.
A full-day of filming can range from 6 to 12 hours or even longer, depending on the project's complexity. It usually includes multiple scenes and locations.
Ultimately, the choice between a half-day and a full-day of filming depends on your project's specific needs, budget, and timeline.
Typically, we offer two sets of revisions once we send off a completed project. That’s two opportunities to make notes on everything you want changing.
Our main aim is to make sure that you are completely satisfied with the final product.
Additional revisions are available for an extra fee, which is agreed upon in advance.
The timeline for delivering the edited video can vary based on several factors, like the complexity of the project, the desired editing style, and the length of the video.
But to provide you with a general idea, a typical video project for a local business usually takes around 1-2 weeks for the editing process.
However, if you have an urgent deadline, we can certainly expedite the process. For example for an event highlight video and urgent requests, we can deliver the video within 1-2 days for an additional fee, which will be agreed upon in advance.
It's important to us that we meet your specific needs and expectations, so we always discuss timelines and requirements upfront to ensure your complete satisfaction.

- Vertical format options for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
