Video Styles
Documentary, Commercial, Full-Story— Double Barrel has perfected the fine art of its unique video styles for clients.
The Full Story
You’ve got a compelling story to tell about your organization, product or service - and it’s going to take more than a minute to get it across? Then our signature style ‘Full Story’ is for you. Shot on location over 1 to 2 days, this doc-style digs deep to surface the soundbites that will compel your audience to action. Created with clips from up to 5 interviews, and cinematic footage of your offering, the Full Story works best when we hear from your leadership team and a happy client or two. Perfect for website headers and introduction emails, launches or brand refreshes. Self-narrated but available with voiceover option.

The Original Series
Do you have an idea for an innovative approach to your storytelling - one that unfolds across multiple ‘episodes’ and tackles a new subject matter each time? Will these stories have original scripts and revolve around getting important information across to your audience as opposed to promotion of a product or service? Then The Original Series is for you. Working closely with your team and subject matter, Double Barrel will develop an overarching episode style, visual treatment and production strategy that brings your online series to life.
