THE PROBLEM

Great Ideas Shouldn’t Stay Ideas.

You have the customer story worth telling. The point of view your industry needs to hear. The training your team keeps asking for.

But making video means finding a crew, a studio, gear, and an editor, then weeks of back-and-forth before anything gets made. So the idea waits in a doc, and another quarter goes by.

  • Too many moving parts. Crew, gear, location, and edit, each with its own quote and calendar.
  • Too little time. You’re busy doing the work you’d be talking about.
  • Too good to keep quiet. The people who know the most shouldn’t be the hardest to find.

Don’t let your ideas stay ideas. Let us help you bring them to life.

Everything It Takes to Go From Idea to Finished Video

We know how good ideas stall. You shouldn’t have to become a producer to share what you know, so every package bundles the studio, the crew, and the edit into one price. Your only job is to show up with your ideas.

30 interviews. 1 day. Riverwood Capital filmed 30 interviews in one day at Forge. Teams from Rippling, Tour Edge, and OX Creative make video here too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking a Studio B video package at Forge Virtual Studios in Hanover Park, IL. Don’t see your question? Book a tour or reach out and we’ll help.

What is a Studio B video package?

A Studio B package is a fixed-price video production package from Forge Virtual Studios, a virtual production studio in the Chicago area. Each package bundles a session in our LED wall studio, a full production crew, pre-production planning, and post-production editing, so you walk away with finished, ready-to-post video instead of raw footage. Choose from Customer Story, Expert Series, Creator Session, Video Podcast, and Training Series packages.

How much does a Studio B package cost?

Studio B packages start at $9,000 a month. A Customer Story video is $16,000, an Expert Series session is $12,500 (or $11,000 per month on a 6-month plan), a Creator Session is $10,000 (or $9,000 per month on a 3-month plan), a Video Podcast is $10,000 for two episodes, and a Training Series is $21,000 for up to eight modules. Every price is fixed and includes the studio, crew, gear, hospitality, and editing, with no surprise line items.

What’s included in every package?

Every package includes a planning call with interview guides, outlines, or shot lists prepared by our team; a session in Studio B with pre-rigged lighting and your environment loaded on the LED wall; a director of photography, cinema cameras, audio, and teleprompter as each package requires; lunch and a green room for your guests; and professional editing with captions, color grading, and mixed sound. The exact deliverables are listed on each package card.

Who are Studio B packages for?

Studio B packages are built for anyone who needs professional video content in their field: tech, SaaS, and professional services companies that want customer testimonial videos; executives and experts building thought leadership; YouTube and Instagram creators; marketers launching a video podcast; and HR, enablement, and operations teams recording training and onboarding videos.

What is virtual production, and why does it matter for my video?

Virtual production films you in front of a large LED wall that displays photoreal environments in real time, so you can appear in a boardroom, on a skyline, or on a custom branded set without travel, permits, or weather delays. Studio B’s 25-foot by 13-foot LED wall lets us change looks in seconds, which means more polished content in less time than a traditional location shoot.

How does booking and payment work?

Pick your package, choose an open date on our online calendar, and pay a $1,000 deposit to hold it. The remaining balance is split into two equal payments: one before your shoot and one at delivery. You can pay by card or bank transfer through our secure checkout.

How far in advance should I book a video shoot?

You can book any open date at least 7 days out, and the calendar shows availability up to about 10 weeks ahead. For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking 3 to 6 weeks before you need your video.

How long is a Studio B session?

Every session starts at 9 a.m. Half-day packages run 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the Training Series is a full-day session from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We book one session per day, so your team has the studio to itself. Planning happens before your session and editing happens after, so your time on set stays focused.

Can I reschedule my shoot?

Yes. You can reschedule with at least 10 business days’ notice before your session date.

Can I tour Studio B before I book?

Absolutely. A studio tour lets you see the LED wall, the set, and the green room in person and talk through your project with our team. Book a tour with the form below, or ask for a virtual walkthrough if you’re not in the Chicago area.

What if I need a custom or larger video project?

For commercials, branded documentaries, anthem films, or full campaigns, our partners at Charter offer full-service creative, from strategy and concept development to production and post. Visit charter.film or book a call and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Where is Forge Virtual Studios located?

Forge Virtual Studios is at 1555 Hunter Rd in Hanover Park, Illinois, in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. We’re about 20 miles from O’Hare International Airport, 25 miles from downtown Chicago, and 10 miles from hotels in Schaumburg, with parking on site.
