Corporate Video Project in Exchange for Candy?

After months of watching the government make economic decisions that feel like they were based on a game of Mad Libs (“Cut taxes for ___, raise interest rates to ___, and print ___ trillion dollars”), we finally caved.

We tried to hold out. We tried to “stay the course.” We even tried paying our Adobe subscription with dignity and optimism.

That didn’t work.

So here it is, friends. The official announcement:

Episode 11 Productions has changed our business model.

Effective immediately, we now offer top-tier, award-winning video production services to all industries—corporate, civic, industrial, educational, entrepreneurial, and alpaca-based—and we are now accepting payments in a variety of unconventional but fully negotiable forms.

Yes, we will still accept cash or card… but barter is better.

Our new payment structure includes:

  • Farm-fresh eggs – Overtime or weekend rates. Quail eggs if you want us to color grade.
  • Tractors, mowers, forklifts – One per shoot. We’ll throw in drone footage if it runs.
  • New vehicles from dealerships – We’ll shoot your entire commercial campaign plus include the director’s favorite camera move: the slow dolly in.
  • Gourmet meals from restaurants – Appetizers = 2 hours of editing. Entrées = motion graphics. Dessert = we’ll write your script and cry tears of joy.
  • Candy and cookies from food manufacturers – Payment in fudge or caramel clusters buys you custom animated logos and a mini-doc about your company’s rise to power.
  • Beer from local breweries – 6-pack = social media cut. Keg = voiceover and licensed music.
  • Office supplies – Pens, paper, Post-its, that weird back massager that plugs into USB… we’re listening.
  • Massage chairs, mini-fridges, high-end coffee makers – We will shoot your corporate promo video while sitting in the chair, sipping espresso.
  • Outdoor gear from sporting goods companies – Tents, coolers, trail mix = corporate event recap videos with a survivalist vibe.
  • Spa days, chiropractor visits, or dental cleanings – We’ll film your staff retreat and leave glowing reviews.

We’re not saying the economy is broken—but when a 4-minute sizzle reel costs 5% more each week due to “market fluctuations” and someone just traded a gallon of milk for a full tank of gas, we figured it was time to adapt.

So if your company needs a corporate training video, a product launch, a recruitment reel, or a heartstring-tugging nonprofit promo… we’re here. Ready to film. Flexible on payment. Hungry for both footage and a charcuterie board.

Call Episode 11 Productions today.

Let’s create cinematic brilliance… and maybe trade it for a riding lawn mower and a bag of peanut brittle.

(Now for the serious part… sort of.)

Okay—yes. That was satire. We’re not actually trading corporate video production for duck eggs, candy bars, or heavy equipment… yet. But the truth behind the humor is this: the economy is unpredictable, and businesses of every size and type are being forced to rethink how they operate, connect, and grow.

In times like these, creativity isn’t just for marketing—it’s for survival.

At Episode 11 Productions, we believe that building smart partnerships now can mean the difference between closing your doors… or closing deals. Whether it’s strategic collaborations, cross-industry promotions, or thinking outside the invoice box, the businesses that thrive in the future will be the ones that adapt, connect, and create together.

So no—we don’t require payment in fudge.

But if you’ve got a bold idea, a shared mission, or a project that deserves attention…

Let’s talk. Call 704.451.5073.

We might just make something extraordinary—and maybe even throw in a few eggs for fun.
