Alpharetta and North Atlanta video production

Our video production process: six clear stages.

Social Pro Video Productions, based in Alpharetta, Georgia, runs every video project for commercial real estate, corporate and professional services teams across North Atlanta through six stages: Kickoff, Script and Plan, Film Day, Editing and Finishing, Your Review, and Delivered. At every stage you get a Production Status update showing where your video is and what comes next, with a full email only when we need something from you. Your first review is the finished video, never a rough cut.
