B-Roll Express - FAQs

We tried to answer as many questions as possible. Please do not hesitate in contacting us if you have any additional questions.

Are you a stock video & photo archive?

No. We are not a stock video or photo service. We do have a limited supply of stock videos and photos we can license. Just tell us what you need, and we will let you know if we can help. B-roll Express is about filming or photographing what you need on-demand, and getting it to you for when you need it. 

Do you edit content deliverables?

Typically, we do not edit raw footage with the exception of shortening and misc. adjustments to the deliverables. The raw b-roll content is sent to you so that you can create your work with it.

​

We can create a news package at an additional cost.

Do you perform on-camera interviews?

We do not conduct interviews. We provide supplemental footage or primary footage needed for news stories etc. that does not have that type of journalistic work involved. We film events, buildings, signs, or other things. Undirected footage that highlights themes or characterizations.

What is a turnaround time for the deliverables?

Depending on our schedule, we try to get deliverables to you within 48 hours. We do provide rush delivery depending on our schedule.

What is the format of the deliverables?

Photos are provided in a jpeg format. Videos are recorded in XAVC S 4K, 30fps with 2 channel audio.

File type MP4. You will be able to access to the deliverables via DropBox (or a digital transfer method you prefer.)

How long does it take to deliver the deliverables?

Depending on our schedule, we try to get deliverables to you within 48 hours. But there are several factors to consider, such as weather, location(s), etc.

Who owns the final product (the deliverables)?

You do (your business entity). You paid for them. We do reserve the right to store all deliverables and to showcase it for business marketing purposes. But we will never sell or allow anyone else to license the deliverables.

What is the cost?

Pricing depends on the location and the work needed. We will let you know once you give us all the project specs. Rates do increase substantially the further a project is away from our office in the Dayton, Ohio area. We do offer content plans for Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, Toledo, Fort Wayne, Lexington and Detroit TV markets.

Do you have a 24/7 "emergency" service?

We can provide filming in emergencies ASAP in select markets only, depending on our schedule. Those markets are Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus.

Do I have to credit Chantilly Creative Studios LLC for the deliverables?

For videos, credit is not required for live or pre-recorded TV use. 

If you do use the video deliverable on a website, billboard, etc., we ask that you credit us specifically when a video only contains our work: "Video: Chantilly Creative Studios LLC".

Always credit CCS photos on a website, billboard, etc. "Photo: Chantilly Creative Studios LLC"

 

Can we share the deliverables with others in our company (ex. sister stations)?

Yes. The deliverable becomes your property. But they still need to follow the credit requirement as listed above.
