Public Sector Video Production
Tell your community’s story and connect with the citizens you serve. Double Barrel has been helping municipalities and public agencies get their message out for over a decade.
Inform.
Engage.
Connect.
Video has the power to elevate and humanize more than any other medium. In the public sector, clear, captivating communication of initiatives and goals help drive public interest and engagement.
With over a decade of experience providing public sector video production services, we can help your team think outside the box and craft the stories that cut through noise and reach the citizens you need to inform, engage, and move to action.
For over a decade we’ve worked with municipalities and their communications teams to get the message out.
Our custom commercials have beckoned newcomers, our explainer animations have educated citizens and our documentaries have shed light on entire industries to drive future investment in growing municipalities.
We’ve developed creative that’s big and small for cities of all sizes, and would love to do the same for yours! Explore our portfolio of municipal work below.
Expanding Your Vision
An RFP. An internal request. An experiment. Often when our public sector clients connect with us, they start with ideas that need to be translated into video and animation. Our process is tailored for exactly that: converting solid ideas into moving stories that expand your vision.
Every Style, Type & Budget
When we start out on a new project, we often recommend clients not be dead-set on a particular style or type of video. Through discovery & creative develop, we work with our clients to refine what’s possible, maximizing the creative impact within time and budget allowances.
Compelling Narrative
Whether you’re looking for a pre-roll spot, a social media rollout, or a tried-and-true TV spot, we’ll help you craft a compelling narrative around your work and express it on the mediums that matter.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Video Production Company
We help you speak plainly to the public.
Public sector communication has to reach everyone, not just the people already paying attention.
We turn policies, programs, and services into clear, human stories, so citizens actually understand what you do and why it matters.
We meet the standards you’re held to.
Government video comes with real requirements: accessibility, official languages, and a public that expects to be included.
We build with captions, clear narration, and bilingual delivery in mind, so your content is compliant and genuinely reaches the whole community.
We know how to work with process.
RFPs, procurement, approvals, and reporting are part of the job, and we’ve been doing this long enough to make them painless.
We come in organized, on budget, and easy to account for, so a public project runs smoothly from kickoff to sign-off.
We help build public trust.
People judge an institution partly by how it shows up on screen. We help you present your work with credibility and care, so the public sees an organization worth their confidence.
