"Having worked with other videographers in Australia recently, you and Lucas are superb to work with! You need minimal briefing and hit the brief bang on every time, and just get things done on the day with no hand holding from us and all while barely being noticed. I wish we could bring you over for every job we run here."

Grant and Kristy are the real deal. Everything from the engagement through to the delivery went smoothly. Grant understood the direction we wanted to go in and used his experience, thinking quickly on his feet and adapting to changes during the day. 5/5 for the final product, handling of unexpected changes, managing our client, and for banter.

We hired Grant for a series of Experience Videos for multi locations. Grant was knowledgeable and incredibly giving of his experience to help us pull these together  from a creative and script angle. He worked to our time frame and hours. Looking at his past work, i had no hesitation around Grant's quality and body of work, but we were absolutely stunned at the final product. They came out 10 times better than we ever hoped or expected. Grant is also a dream to work with!

We had a fantastic time creating a video with CAW! Kirsty and Grant are an amazing team who were extremely easy to work with. We were all impressed by the story they created, detailed thought and great talent we worked with - they really captured the essence of our brand. Even catching the attention of our international subsidiaries who then worked with them too :) Just fantastic!

The team at CAW are extremely professional and detailed in their approach. Their desire to understand your business inside and out and fully entrench themselves to garner a full understanding, is what makes them so special. Not to mention their ongoing communication throughout the project, providing updates and ideas for consideration. REVYRE would strongly recommend CAW and appreciate all the hard work put in to deliver our corporate video and explainer animation.

What is a testimonial video?

A testimonial video is a real customer sharing their genuine experience with your product or service on camera. It’s powerful because it feels human, believable, and relatable. Done well, testimonial video production builds trust fast and gives potential customers the social proof they need to take the next step.

Why do video testimonials convert better than written testimonials?

Video testimonials feel harder to fake and easier to connect with. Viewers can hear tone, see emotion, and understand context quickly. That authenticity helps remove doubt during the decision stage, especially when people are comparing options. It’s one of the most effective trust-builders in marketing.

How do you choose the right customer for a testimonial video?

We’ll help you identify a customer who represents your ideal buyer and can speak clearly about the problem you solved. The best customer story video production focuses on specific outcomes, not generic praise. If you’re unsure who to feature, we can guide the selection and structure.

How do you make people feel comfortable on camera?

Most people aren’t professional presenters, and that’s totally fine. We keep the setup relaxed, guide the conversation with simple prompts, and film in a way that feels natural. Our job is to bring out a real story, not a scripted performance, so it feels authentic.

How long should a testimonial video be?

The ideal length depends on where it will be used. Many video testimonials work best when they’re tight and focused. They should be long enough to build credibility, but short enough to hold attention. We can also create cutdowns for social media while keeping a fuller version for your website.

What’s included in your testimonial video service?

Our testimonial video service typically includes planning the story, filming the interview, capturing supportive B-roll, and editing a finished piece that flows. We shape it so it feels genuine and persuasive, with clean visuals and audio. The final result is built to strengthen your sales funnel.

Where should I use a testimonial video on my website?

Testimonial videos work well on key conversion pages: your homepage, service pages, product pages, and pricing or enquiry pages. Placing a customer story near a call-to-action can reduce hesitation. They also perform strongly in proposals, email follow-ups, and social proof campaigns.

How much does testimonial video production cost?

Costs depend on factors like filming time, number of interviews, locations, and the amount of editing required. Many clients choose a budget band (for example $5k–$8k or $8k–$12k) and we tailor the scope to suit. We’ll always keep pricing clear and practical.

How long does it take to produce a testimonial video?

Once filming is scheduled, turnaround is usually driven by the edit and feedback cycle. We’ll agree on timelines upfront, share a first draft for review, then refine based on your notes. If you need the testimonial video for a campaign date, we’ll plan the schedule accordingly.

What’s the difference between a testimonial video and a case study video?

A testimonial video is usually a shorter, emotion-led customer story focused on credibility and trust. A case study video tends to be more structured, often showing the challenge, process, and measurable outcomes. We can recommend the best format based on how your audience makes decisions.
