How We Work
Our process starts with listening. We take the time to understand your brand, your goals, your audience, and your challenges. From there, we develop creative strategies that align with your message and bring it to life with visual clarity and emotional resonance.

We handle the entire production process—from concept, scripting, and storyboarding to filming, editing, motion graphics, and final delivery. Whether you need a single video or a full campaign, we’re here to guide the creative and keep things moving forward.

We also pride ourselves on transparency. No confusing jargon, no hidden costs, no inflated timelines. Just honest collaboration and a commitment to doing our best work, every time.

Who We Work With
We’ve partnered with organizations of all sizes—from local nonprofits and emerging startups to universities, agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. Our work spans industries including:

Tech & SaaS
Healthcare & wellness
Education
Consumer products
Public sector & civic orgs
Social impact & nonprofit

We’re versatile in tone and style, but always rooted in authentic storytelling and high production value.

Why “Good People”?
The name says it all. “Good People” is not just a tagline—it’s how we hire, how we lead, and how we work. Clients trust us because we show up with integrity, empathy, and follow-through. Our team genuinely cares about doing work that feels meaningful—not just for us, but for the people we serve.

We also walk the talk. As the Oakland ambassadors for The City Eats, we organize monthly volunteer events to help feed our unhoused neighbors. We regularly donate our time and production services to causes we care about, and we’re always looking for ways to use our skills for good.

Why Businesses Trust Us
Because we don’t just make great videos—we make the right videos, for the right reasons, with the right people. We’re creative, but strategic. Kind, but no-nonsense. We know what it means to deliver under pressure, and we know how to make the process feel human and enjoyable along the way.

We’re proud that many of our clients come back again and again—not just for the work, but because they trust us as partners. We aim to be an extension of your team, not just another vendor.
