    Commonly Asked Questions

    We're based in St. Augustine and serve clients throughout Northeast Florida, including Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Johns County, and Palm Coast. We also travel for projects statewide and internationally.

    We specialize in corporate video, nonprofit storytelling, event coverage, and brand content. Our clients include organizations, government agencies, and local businesses across St. Augustine and Jacksonville.

    Project pricing depends on scope, but most of our corporate and nonprofit video projects range from $2,500 to $10,000. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your goals so there are no surprises.

    Every project starts with alignment. Before we pick up a camera, we work with you to understand your goals, audience, budget, and how this content fits into your larger communication strategy. If there are multiple stakeholders involved — marketing teams, executives, board members — we make sure everyone is aligned before production begins. This prevents surprises, revision loops, and wasted time. That alignment is Trista's superpower. With a PhD in Interdisciplinary Ecology and years of experience in science communication and research, she brings a strategic, organized approach to every project. She manages timelines, coordinates schedules, keeps stakeholders informed, and ensures the project stays on track and on budget. You'll always know exactly where things stand. Once we're aligned, we move into pre-production: scripting, shot planning, location scouting, and scheduling. Diego then leads production, handling cinematography with the calm, focused precision he developed during his years as a Registered Nurse in cardiac recovery. In post-production, we edit, review, and refine until the final product matches your vision. The result? Projects that deliver on time — often ahead of schedule — without scope creep, miscommunication, or last-minute chaos. When you work with First Sight Films, you work directly with us. No account managers, no hand-offs, no wondering who's handling your project. Just a small team that treats your goals like our own.

    Most projects take 3-6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery, depending on complexity. Event coverage and quick-turnaround projects can be delivered faster when needed.
