Seattle Video Production That Moves People and Brands Forward

We produce high‑end video content for organizations that need clear, credible, and reliable content - whether for executive communications, product storytelling, marketing teams, or enterprise‑scale initiatives. With more than 25 years of experience supporting some of the world’s most influential companies, we bring the creative discipline, technical fluency, and operational rigor required to deliver video that performs in high‑stakes environments.

Why Watts Media

For more than 25 years, we’ve produced video for some of the most influential organizations in Seattle and beyond. In that time, we’ve built a reputation for delivering work that lands. Teams work with us because we bring creative thinking and creative storytelling that other agencies don’t have. We take loose ideas, incomplete briefs, or complex messages and turn them into clear, compelling stories that resonate with audiences. And we’re a hell of a lot of fun to work with.

• End-to-end production capabilities - live action, animation, and 3D - allowing us to choose the right approach for each story without forcing a single style.

• Deep organizational understanding - we learn how a company thinks, communicates, and operates. One Amazon client recently joked that our founder, Andrew, knew more about Amazon than he did.

• Experience working directly with senior leadership and Fortune 500 executives, where accuracy, clarity, and trust are essential.

• A client roster that includes Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, Accenture, and many other global brands, with work that supports leadership communications, product launches, and high‑visibility initiatives.

What We Make

Video production spans a wide range of formats and storytelling approaches. We help organizations choose the right method for their message - whether the goal is to inspire, educate, clarify, or mobilize an audience. Here are the core types of work we create for teams across Seattle and beyond.

Live Action Production

We produce live‑action content that feels grounded, human, and intentional. From executive interviews and brand films and on‑location storytelling we handle every detail - crew, lighting, sound, talent, set design, and logistics - so your story comes through with clarity and craft. Live action is ideal for leadership visibility, culture stories, customer evidence where authenticity matters.

Documentary Style Storytelling

When the story lives in real people and real experiences, we take a documentary‑first approach. We work with patients, researchers, leaders, and community members to capture narratives that build trust and emotional connection. These films support fundraising, mission awareness, recruitment, and organizational storytelling - helping audiences understand not just what you do, but why it matters.

Animation & Motion Design

Animation gives you the freedom to explain, visualize, or simplify anything — from abstract concepts to complex systems. We create 2D, 3D, and mixed‑media motion graphics that make information clear and engaging. This approach is ideal for product explainers, process breakdowns, data visualization, and stories where clarity and scalability are essential.

3D Visualization

For products, prototypes, and technical stories, 3D offers precision and flexibility that live action can’t match. We build photoreal and stylized 3D assets that showcase features, functionality, and design intent - long before something exists in the real world. These visuals support product launches, engineering teams, marketing rollouts, and any moment where detail and accuracy matter.

Executive & Internal Communications

We partner with leadership teams to craft clear, confident messaging for employees, customers, and global audiences. Our work spans mission videos, keynote openers, product launch films, organizational updates, and executive‑level storytelling that requires nuance, alignment, and absolute clarity. Whether the goal is to inspire a workforce, introduce a new initiative, or communicate a strategic shift, we build content that helps leaders speak with purpose and impact.

Product & Explainer Videos

When you need to introduce a tool, feature, or service, we create product‑driven videos that are crisp, structured, and easy to understand. These pieces often combine live action, animation, or 3D to show how something works and why it matters. They’re built for launches, onboarding, sales enablement, and customer education - anywhere clarity drives adoption.

Customer Evidence

We create customer evidence stories that show real people achieving real outcomes. These pieces blend documentary-style authenticity with clear business impact, giving enterprise teams credible proof they can use across marketing, sales, and communications. Whether it’s a founder story, a product success narrative, or a customer journey, we focus on clarity, credibility, and human connection - turning lived experience into proof that moves organizations forward.

Featured Video Work

Here’s a selection of the work we’ve created for teams across Seattle and around the world. Each project reflects the same approach we bring to every engagement: clear storytelling, strong creative thinking, and execution that holds up under pressure.

How We Work

Every project is different, but our approach stays consistent: clear communication, strong creative thinking, and a commitment to craft from the first conversation to final delivery.

Step 1 - Discovery: Align on the Mission, Audience and Outcome

We start by getting clear on what the video needs to accomplish. That means defining the mission behind the project, who the audience is, and the outcome the piece must drive. This alignment gives every creative decision a purpose and ensures the final story supports real organizational goals—not just a request for “a video.”

Step 2 - Creative Development: Shape the Story and the Strategy

Once the mission is clear, we translate it into a story that will actually land. We develop outlines, scripts, and visual direction that balance clarity, brand, and emotional impact. We refine the creative with your stakeholders until the narrative is strong and ready for production.

Step 3 - Production: Design the Right Production Approach

Live action, animation, 3D, or a blend - we choose the method that best serves the story and the constraints (timeline, budget, locations, talent). We handle the details: crews, schedules, permissions, accessibility needs, and logistics, so your team can stay focused on the work only you can do.

Step 4 - Post‑Production: Bring Everything Together

This is where the magic happens and the story takes shape. We refine structure, pacing, and tone; build the rhythm; and make sure every frame supports the message. Graphics, titles, data, color, sound, and motion design all work together to create a piece that feels intentional, polished, and alive. For complex organizations, this often means multiple versions for different audiences - all built from a single, coherent story that holds up everywhere it’s used.

Step 5 - Delivery & Activation: Make the Work Perform

We deliver formats tailored for internal comms, events, web, social, and help your team understand where and how the video will have the most impact. When it makes sense, we we advise on how the video(s) fits into a broader content system over time.

We deliver optimized formats for web, social, internal communications, and broadcast — ensuring your video performs wherever it lives.

Outcomes That Matter

Great video should do more than look polished - it should move people, clarify ideas, and create momentum inside an organization. Our work helps our clients communicate with clarity, inspire action, and support real business outcomes.

More Engaged Audiences

We create stories to earn attention, not just fill channels. Our work consistently drives stronger engagement because it’s built on clarity, relevance, and emotional pull. That includes launch pieces like the Microsoft Surface Pen video, which generated more than one million organic views in its first ten months - proof that when the story is sharp and the craft is strong, audiences respond. Whether the goal is awareness, education, or adoption, we build videos people want to watch.

Simplified Communication of Complex Ideas

For technical, scientific, or product‑driven organizations, clarity is everything. Our animation, 3D, and explainer work helps audiences grasp complex systems, features, or research quickly - improving understanding, reducing friction, and supporting better decision‑making. We turn complexity into stories that make sense.

Elevated Brand Perception

High‑quality storytelling signals credibility. For enterprise teams, nonprofits, and global brands, our work strengthens how audiences perceive leadership, innovation, and mission. Our videos support recruitment, fundraising, customer trust, and organizational reputation - the moments where clarity and craft matter most.

Clearer Product Understanding

When teams need to introduce a tool, feature, or service, we create product stories that are crisp, structured, and easy to understand. By combining live action, animation, or 3D, we help audiences see how something works and why it matters - driving adoption and reducing the need for explanation elsewhere.
