Bokeh Film Production produces customer testimonial videos for contractors and business owners in Milwaukee and across Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. A written review says you did good work. A homeowner standing in her finished kitchen explaining why she would hire you again is a different thing entirely.
We keep testimonials short, honest and specific. The customer talks about the problem they had, why they picked you, what the process was like, and what they would tell a friend. We film the finished work while we are there. Each one runs 60 to 90 seconds and works on your website, your Google Business Profile, your proposals and your ads.
Who testimonial videos are for
- Remodelers, builders and home service companies whose customers are proud of the result and happy to show it
- Commercial contractors and B2B companies with long-term clients who will speak to the relationship
- Businesses with strong Google reviews who want the two or three best ones to carry more weight
- Companies whose prospects ask for references, so they can hand over a video instead of a phone number
Testimonials pair naturally with a brand film; we often film both on the same day and share the footage between them.
What is included
Planning
- Help choosing which customers to ask and a short email you can send them
- Scheduling at the customer’s home or business, at a time that suits them

Filming

- Footage of the finished work, the space, the product or the team on site
- Professional audio and lighting that works in a living room or a warehouse
Deliverables per testimonial
- A 60 to 90 second testimonial, captioned, with your logo and the customer’s first name and town
- A 15 to 30 second vertical cut for social and ads
- A still photo of the customer and the finished work for your website and reviews
- Two rounds of revisions
Add-ons

How it works
- Pick the customers. We help you choose two or three whose projects show your range, and give you a short note to send them. Most happy customers say yes quickly.
- Film. About 90 minutes at each location, including setup. A single testimonial is a two hour visit; a half day covers two or three customers in the same area.
- Edit and deliver. First cuts within two weeks, two rounds of revisions, final files for every platform.

Frequently asked questions
How do we get customers to agree to be on camera?
Ask the ones who already left a glowing review or sent a thank-you text. We give you a short, friendly note to send, and we keep the visit to about 90 minutes at a time they choose. Most people are flattered to be asked.
What questions do you ask?
What was going on before you called, why you chose this company, what the process was like, what the result means to you, and what you would tell a friend who is deciding. We never script answers; we guide the conversation and let the customer talk.
How long is each testimonial?
Sixty to ninety seconds for the main version and a 15 to 30 second vertical cut for social and ads. Shorter than that loses the specifics that make it credible; longer and people stop watching.
Can you film at the customer’s house?
Yes, and that is usually the best place. The finished work is right there, and the customer is comfortable. We bring compact lighting and audio that set up in minutes and leave no trace.
Where should we use them?
A testimonial next to the matching service on your website, one on your Google Business Profile, the vertical cuts as Meta ads in the towns you serve, and all of them in proposals and estimate follow-up emails.
Do you offer a discount for several at once?
The half-day rate of $3,500 for two or three testimonials is the discount. Per testimonial it is roughly a third less than booking one at a time.
