The Dos and Don'ts of Creating Authentic Brand Films

Authenticity is not just a catchphrase in the field of filmmaking; it is a driving philosophy. At Liberal Arts Productions, we've established a solid reputation by making commercials that connect with viewers on a deep level. Today, we'd like to welcome you to learn more about how we approach creating genuine brand videos that engage and connect.



The Dos:

  • Understand Your Brand's Identity: At Liberal Arts Productions, we always start our journey by delving deeply into the essence of your brand. We take time to understand your mission, fundamental beliefs, and differentiators. We can make sure that our videos are a natural extension of your identity by completely immersing ourselves in the essence of your brand.

  • Define Your Audience: Our expertise is in audience knowledge. To fully comprehend the characteristics, passions, and problems of your target audience, we perform extensive study. This guides every creative choice we make, allowing us to craft the brand film to evoke strong feelings in your viewers.

  • Storytelling is Key: Our strategy is built on the power of storytelling. We are aware that a powerful brand video must emotionally engage the audience. We create storylines that resonate while adhering to the message of your company, whether it is through humor, drama, or a moving journey.

  • Show, Don't Tell: Show, don't tell is our fundamental guiding principle. We refrain from presenting a long list of product features to viewers. Instead, we gently and truly communicate your idea through graphics and stories, leaving a lasting impression.

  • Use Real People and Genuine Locations: When real individuals share their true stories, authenticity is at its best. Our careful casting procedure makes sure that real people accurately represent your target audience. We choose natural, relevant surroundings over contrived ones in order to be more authentic.

  • Be Transparent: We always act with integrity. We feel that honesty when discussing your brand's strengths and faults helps to develop trust. In your brand film, we identify any problems or difficulties and explain how your company is resolving them.

  • Stay True to Your Aesthetic: Our trademark is consistency in visual appeal and overall design. Your brand film should reflect your brand's visual identity to increase credibility and brand recognition. We make sure that each frame adheres to the defined aesthetic of your business.

The Don'ts:

  • Don't Overpromote: Overpromotion can turn an authentic brand film into a glorified product commercial. We understand the balance between showcasing your product or service and the art of storytelling. It's about creating an emotional connection, not a sales pitch.

  • Avoid Stereotypes: Stereotypes have no place in our films. We are committed to representing diverse perspectives, ensuring that your brand is inclusive and welcoming to all potential customers.

  • Don't Rely Solely on Trends: While we stay informed about industry trends, we don't let them dictate our creative process. We understand that authenticity is timeless. Our brand films have a lasting quality that transcends passing trends.

  • Avoid Overproduction: Sometimes, less is more. Overproduction can distract from authenticity. We believe in keeping it real and relatable, ensuring that our films remain grounded in the human experience.

  • Don't Rush the Process: Rushing compromises quality. We take the time necessary to brainstorm, shoot, and edit. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every frame serves the ultimate goal—authentic storytelling.


Making authentic marketing films isn't just what we do at Liberal Arts Productions; it's our passion. To make films that go beyond advertising and turn into meaningful experiences, we embrace the dos and stay away from the don'ts. We encourage you to join us on this journey to tell tales that fascinate, connect, and endure because authenticity is our compass in the always changing world of brand marketing.
