What We Produce
Brand and corporate films
The film that explains who you are to investors, partners, recruits and customers. Usually 90 seconds to three minutes, built around one message and a real human voice rather than a list of services. Our Starhub Smart Nation film is the reference for this format.
Testimonials and customer stories
Clients and customers on camera, saying in their own words what changed. We interview rather than script, then edit the honesty into a tight cut. The Biqmind corporate video and the Morning Coffee Machine founders’ message are two examples.
Product and launch videos
Live action product films, demonstrations and cooking demos, with motion graphics overlays where a feature needs explaining. Our Bosch cooking demos and the Dove hotels range film show the span, from a studio kitchen to a hospitality amenities line. When the product cannot be filmed yet, we switch to 3D animation.
Event, campaign and internal films
Conference openers and recaps, campaign films, internal training and leadership messages. The Tata Consultancy Services Accelerate India film and the Temasek Junior College film sit here, alongside event screen content from our experiential work.
How a Production Runs
Brief and treatment. We read the brief, the audience and where the film will play. Output: a one page treatment, a runtime target and a shoot plan.
Script and storyboard. Script or interview guide, then a shot list and storyboard. Compliance and legal review happen here, before a crew is booked.
Pre-production. Casting, locations, permits, crew, kit, wardrobe and schedule, locked a week before the shoot.
Shoot. Director, cinematographer and sound recordist on set. Cinema cameras, controlled lighting, clean audio. Extra angles and b-roll captured for future cut-downs.
Post-production in house. Edit, grading in DaVinci Resolve, sound design, voiceover and music, motion graphics and titles. Rough-cut previews at each pass, so nothing ships without a look.
Delivery. A 16:9 master, vertical and square cuts for social, subtitles, and language versions where needed. A standard corporate film runs three to six weeks from brief to master.
What Makes a Corporate Video Work
One message. Every film we make answers one question for one audience. A brand film for investors and a recruitment film for graduates are two separate films, and each is shorter and sharper for it.
A real voice. Interviews carry more trust than scripted corporate speak. When a founder talks the way they talk in a meeting, people keep watching. Scripting is for narration and structure. The people on camera stay themselves.
Production values that match the brand. Lighting, sound and colour are what separate a film that represents a listed company from a phone recording. Sound especially: viewers forgive soft focus, and they switch off at bad audio.
Live Action, Animation or Both
Most corporate briefs are answered with a mix. A brand film opens on real people and places, switches to motion graphics for the numbers, and moves to 3D when a product or process cannot be filmed. We plan the split at storyboard stage so the shoot captures exactly the plates the animation needs. Our 2D animation and 3D animation teams sit in the same studio as the film crew, so the join is seamless.
Animation also solves the schedule problem when a product is still in development, a location is off limits, or a policy changes between the shoot and the release date. A motion graphics sequence can be updated in a day. A reshoot takes weeks.
Corporate Video for Regulated Industries
Banks, insurers, healthcare providers and government agencies carry a compliance review chain. Our process puts the script, the storyboard and every line of on-screen text through that chain before pre-production, then locks the approved wording so the edit stays inside it.
It shapes the shoot as well. Disclaimers get their own clean plates, interviewees are briefed on what they can say on camera, and the master is delivered with a change log so a later regulatory update can be swapped in without recutting the film. Clients across these sectors include AIA, Starhub, NTUC, GIC and Marina Bay Sands.
Where the Film Goes After Delivery
One master becomes a library: a 16:9 cut for the website and YouTube, vertical cuts for LinkedIn, Reels and TikTok, a 30 second version for paid media, and a silent captioned cut for event screens. We shoot with those cuts in mind, so the vertical versions are framed on set rather than cropped afterwards. Our video content strategy guide covers how to sequence the releases, and our corporate video strategy guide covers how often to refresh each format.
Sectors and Clients
Finance, healthcare and pharma, technology and telecommunications, hospitality, government and public agencies, food and beverage, and industrial. Regulated sectors are a particular strength. The script and storyboard stages are built so that compliance sign-off happens before the shoot, and the same crew and post team stay on the account across campaigns.
What to Prepare Before You Brief Us
The goal in one sentence, the audience, where the film will play, the key message, who will be on camera, locations you can offer, brand guidelines, the deadline and the review chain on your side. If a compliance team signs off, tell us at the start so the schedule allows for it.

FAQ
What does corporate video production in Singapore include?
Concept and treatment, script or interview guide, storyboard, pre-production, the shoot, editing, colour grading, sound design, voiceover and music, motion graphics, and delivery in every format you need. CRITICA runs the whole chain in-house, with 3D animation and experiential work available for the same brief.
What types of corporate video does CRITICA produce?
Brand and corporate films, testimonials and customer stories, product and launch videos, event openers and recaps, campaign films, internal training and leadership messages, plus social cut-downs of all of these.
How long does a corporate video take?
A standard corporate film runs three to six weeks from brief to master. Multi-location shoots, several language versions or long review chains push it to five to eight weeks. Rush schedules are possible with compressed review rounds.
Should we use our own staff or actors on camera?
Real staff and founders build trust when the message is theirs and they are comfortable on camera. Actors are better when the story needs multiple takes, a specific look or a scripted performance. Many films blend both, with real leaders and customers supported by cast for staged scenes.
Can you deliver corporate videos in Chinese, Malay and Tamil?
Yes. We plan language versions at script stage so that timing and on-screen text work in each language, then deliver subtitled or re-voiced versions alongside the English master.
How is a video production company different from a freelance crew?
A company brings a producer, project management, backup crew and kit, and clear contracts, with the same team staying on the account across campaigns. A freelance crew is leaner but carries more risk on larger or multi-stakeholder projects.
