In the Startup sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Special Effects delivers measurable results that transform how startup professionals communicate with their audience.
Startup video production is driven by fundraising milestones and product launch cycles. A seed-stage company needs a 90-second pitch deck video for investor outreach, a product demo screencast for early adopters, and a founder story clip for press kits. Series A and beyond triggers demand for recruitment culture videos, customer case studies, and conference keynote support materials. The creative style skews energetic and authentic — startups cannot and should not look like banks. Production budgets are lean in early stages (1,000-5,000 euros) but scale rapidly post-funding to 10,000-30,000 euros per quarter. Speed matters enormously: a startup may pivot its messaging between the brief and the shoot. The primary KPI varies by stage — fundraising conversion for early stage, activation rate for growth stage, and employer brand for scaling stage.
72% of job seekers research company culture before applying. Internal communication videos reduce misunderstanding by 50% compared to email alone. Yet many corporations struggle to produce video that feels authentic rather than corporate and stiff.
From employer branding to annual reports, executive communications to training modules, corporate video must balance professionalism with relatability. The challenge is creating content that employees and stakeholders actually want to watch.
A multinational launched a video-first employer branding campaign featuring real employees across 8 countries. Applications increased 156% and employee turnover decreased 23% as new hires arrived with accurate culture expectations.
Corporate video impacts every audience: employer branding reduces cost-per-hire by 40%, training videos reduce onboarding time by 30%, executive thought leadership videos drive 3x more engagement than written posts on LinkedIn, and annual report videos increase shareholder engagement by 55%.

Special effects cover the broad category of visual enhancements that alter reality in your footage — explosions, fire, rain, snow, smoke, electrical arcs, and environmental destruction. We use a combination of stock element compositing, Houdini simulations, and After Effects particle systems depending on the scale and budget. Each effect is color-matched, shadow-integrated, and motion-tracked to your plate. This service differs from compositing (which is assembly) in that we generate the effects themselves. A single VFX shot takes 2-5 days; we recommend sending us a shot list early so we can plan the pipeline and batch similar effects together.
You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
Software: Nuke, After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema 4D | Tracking: PFTrack, SynthEyes | Render: Arnold, V-Ray, Octane | Output: EXR 16/32-bit, ProRes 4444, DPX
