Pittsburgh commercial video production for brands and businesses that need content with a real job to do. Brand films, corporate and internal video, product and e-commerce clips, restaurant and bar promos, event coverage, testimonials, drone aerials, and short-form social cutdowns built around where the final piece actually needs to work. I work as a creator-led videographer in Pittsburgh, running lean on most projects and scaling with crew when the job calls for it.

I filmed and edited this event at the Women's Health Conversations 2025, a national multi-day women's health summit at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida. Working alongside the event team, my role was to capture the energy of the room, the expert speakers, the attendee experience, and the mission behind the event.

Have a project in mind? Send over the basics and I'll help map out the right photo, video, or content plan.
I create commercial video content built around where it will actually be used: websites, ads, product pages, social media, Google Business Profiles, YouTube, and sales campaigns.
Company story videos, founder-led content, brand films, and trust-building videos that help people understand what your business does, who is behind it, and why they should care.
Polished campaign videos, promotional spots, and local business ads created for websites, paid media, launches, and social platforms.
Product videos, demo clips, tabletop motion, lifestyle footage, and e-commerce content built to help people see, understand, and buy.
Food, drink, atmosphere, kitchen, bar, and hospitality video created for social media, websites, menus, events, and local marketing.
Vertical video for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, paid social, announcements, product launches, behind-the-scenes content, and everyday brand visibility.
Customer stories, client testimonials, review videos, and case-study content filmed with clean audio, strong lighting, and a polished delivery that builds trust.
Executive messaging, internal communications, recruiting and culture films, training content, and conference recaps for companies that need something their leadership will stand behind.
Conference films, summit coverage, trade show recaps, and multi-day highlight edits. Same-week social cutdowns when the event needs to stay visible while it is still fresh.
Plant and facility walkthroughs, process and capability films, safety and training content, and equipment demos shot on an active floor without slowing production down.
Most projects are handled as a lean, creator-led production, which keeps the process simple, efficient, and consistent. For larger commercials, brand films, healthcare projects, interviews, multi-camera shoots, or more complex productions, I can scale with additional crew, audio, lighting, and production support.
A creator-led alternative to a traditional Pittsburgh video production company, built to stay lean when possible and scale when the project calls for it.
The first conversation defines the goal, audience, usage, location, schedule, and deliverables so the project is built around what the video needs to accomplish, not just what it needs to look like.
I handle the shoot directly or scale with the right crew when needed. Camera, audio, lighting, drone, and production details are planned around the job.
Footage is edited, color graded, cleaned up, mixed, and shaped into the right versions for the job.
You receive finished files ready for your website, social media, ads, YouTube, Google Business Profile, product pages, or internal use.
Ready to talk specifics? Send over the goal, rough timeline, and where the video needs to live.
Every project is custom quoted around scope, deliverables, and where the content needs to live. Most clients book one of three ways: a single focused video, a content day that produces multiple assets from one shoot, or a monthly content rhythm. The right fit comes out of the first conversation, not a rate card.
One focused asset
Multiple assets from one shoot
Recurring content rhythm
Send the goal, where the content will be used, rough timeline, and any budget range you have in mind. I'll help shape the right production plan.
Gear is the floor, not the pitch.
The gear matters, but it only matters when it supports the job. The real value is the planning, production, editing, and final files your business can actually use.
The goal is not to make a pretty video that sits in a folder. The work is planned around where it needs to live, how it will be used, and what it needs to help your audience understand.
You work directly with me through planning, production, editing, and delivery. That keeps the process focused, the communication clear, and the final content consistent.
Final videos are delivered for the places they need to work: websites, social media, ads, YouTube, Google Business Profile, product pages, internal use, or campaign launches.
I'm Ian Jones, a Pittsburgh-area commercial photographer and videographer based in Bridgeville, PA. For more than 10 years, I've created commercial photo and video work across product, food, automotive, industrial, restaurant, healthcare, drone, and brand content.
My work and brand partnerships have connected me with Tamron, Aputure, RODE, Char-Broil, WeatherTech, ProMaster, and a long roster of restaurants, garages, product companies, and service-based businesses across Pittsburgh and Western PA.
I build projects around where the final content needs to live and what it needs to do for the business. That keeps the work useful, the deliverables specific, and the quote tied to real scope. I lead the creative direction myself and scale the production when a project needs more crew.
More about IanI'm based in Bridgeville and shoot regularly across Pittsburgh, the South Hills, Canonsburg, Washington, Robinson Township, Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park, Upper St. Clair, Cranberry Township, and Western PA. Local shoots are the core of the business, and I also take on national product or brand work when the project is the right fit.
Most commercial video projects are custom quoted and often start in the low four figures, then scale based on shoot length, crew, locations, editing, and deliverables. I quote every project around the actual scope instead of forcing it into a fixed rate card. The fastest way to get a real number is to send the basics: what the video is for, where it will live, the rough timeline, and any budget range you already have in mind.
The biggest pricing factors are shoot length, number of locations, crew size, drone usage, audio, lighting, editing complexity, number of final videos, social cutdowns, motion graphics, travel, and timeline. I quote around those variables so the scope matches what the project actually needs.
I run as a creator-led production partner, not a layer-heavy agency. Most projects stay lean, which keeps things efficient, consistent, and easy to schedule. For larger commercials, brand films, multi-camera shoots, interviews, or anything that needs more crew, I scale with the right people for audio, lighting, and additional camera work. I lead the creative direction either way.
Brand films, commercials, corporate and internal comms, product and e-commerce clips, customer testimonials, restaurant and bar promos, event coverage, industrial and manufacturing walkthroughs, healthcare and surgical work, automotive, and FAA Part 107 drone aerials. Short-form vertical content for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts is a regular part of that, either standalone or cut down from a larger shoot. I also run monthly retainers for businesses that need a steady flow of photo and video without hiring in-house.
You do not need to have the whole idea figured out. You can come in with a rough thought, a clear goal, or just the feeling that your business needs better video. The first conversation covers what the video is for, who it needs to reach, where it will live, and what success looks like. I shape the production plan from there.
You receive a finished, edited video with clean audio, color grading, and any licensed music. You also get platform-ready exports for the places the video needs to live, vertical social cutdowns when needed, caption-ready files on request, thumbnail or cover frame options, and organized final file delivery. If the project includes photo work, those final assets are delivered with the same level of organization.
Yes. Vertical short-form video is a regular part of the work, both as standalone content and as social cutdowns from larger shoots. That includes Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, paid social, product launches, announcements, and behind-the-scenes content.
Yes. Monthly content production is built for businesses that need a steady flow of video and photo content for social, websites, Google Business Profile, ads, and ongoing marketing without hiring an internal creative team. The volume, mix of video and photo, and deliverables are scoped to the business.
Yes. Photo and video together can be one of the most efficient ways to plan a shoot. You get a coordinated set of assets for your website, ads, social media, product pages, and Google Business Profile from one planned production day.
Yes. Every project includes a review round before final delivery. You see a first cut, send notes, and I revise. The number of revision rounds and timing are agreed on up front so the process stays clean.
