The short answer

What a media production company actually does

Anyone can point a camera. The job is knowing what the film has to make someone do, and building every frame backwards from that.

A media production company takes an idea and turns it into finished media: a script, a shoot, an edit, a mix and a set of files that play correctly wherever you put them. That covers concept and scripting, casting and location scouting, crew and call sheets, filming, photography, 2D and 3D animation, editing, colour, sound design, voice-over, subtitling and the delivery specs each platform demands.

Content Khana has produced film, photography, animation and print out of Cairo since 2015. What separates us from a media production agency that only shoots is upstairs: the writers, PR team and designers sit in the same building, so the script that goes on the call sheet is the same message that goes to the press and onto the stand at your next exhibition. Hiring a video company for the camera and someone else for the words is how brands end up with a beautiful film that says nothing.

How to choose a media production company

  • 1.
    Ask to see the brief behind the reel. Showreels are edited to flatter. Ask what the client wanted, what it cost and what the film actually moved.
  • 2.
    Ask who writes the script. Plenty of media production companies subcontract the writing and never tell you. If the words are an afterthought, so is the film.
  • 3.
    Ask what you receive at the end. A serious media production company hands over masters, platform cuts, subtitle files and the raw footage — not one MP4 and a login you lose in a year.
What we do

Our media production services

Twelve media production services, taken as one turnkey production or as the single craft your team is missing. Every service below runs standalone or as part of a full campaign, and each is quoted as its own line so you can see where the budget goes.

Corporate video production

Brand films, company profiles, recruitment films, training and internal comms. We start with the business objective, not the storyboard — which is why our scripts get approved in two rounds rather than six.

TV commercials and advertising films

Concept, storyboard, casting, shoot and broadcast-ready delivery for TVCs and advertising films, cut to the durations the channel actually sells — 15, 20, 30 and 60 seconds — with Arabic and English versions built into the edit.

More on this service →

Video production and filming

The full video production service: pre-production and scripting, crew and kit, multi-camera video filming on location or in studio, interviews, b-roll and drone where permits allow. One video production company handling call sheet to final master.

More on this service →

Photography

Corporate portraits, product and packshot, event and conference coverage, industrial and site photography, food, architecture and campaign lifestyle — shot to a brief and delivered retouched, captioned and correctly sized for every channel.

More on this service →

2D and 3D animation

Character animation, CGI, product visualisation and infographic animation. Our video animation services cover the whole chain — script, storyboard, style frames, illustration, rig, animate, sound — and are usually the fastest route when there is nothing yet to film.

More on this service →

Explainer videos and motion graphics

Sixty to ninety seconds that make a complicated product obvious. We write the script first and design to it, because an explainer that looks beautiful and explains nothing is an expensive screensaver.

More on this service →

Promotional and product films

Launch films, campaign spots, retail and in-store loops, trade-show films and hero product pieces. What a promotional video production company is really selling is the thirty seconds someone chooses not to scroll past.

More on this service →

Post-production and audio

Offline and online edit, colour grade, graphics and titling, voice-over casting and recording in Arabic and English, sound design, music licensing and the final mix. One video editing agency from rushes to master — and we take on rescue edits of footage another company already shot.

More on this service →

Multimedia production and design

Where multimedia production means everything the film sits beside: magazines, reports, newsletters, presentations, infographics, exhibition graphics and social assets. Produced for UNIDO, Food Africa and the Arab Fertilizer Association, among others.

More on this service →

Documentary and impact films

Field shoots, real people and stories that have to be handled properly: informed consent, safeguarding, sensitive locations and donor reporting requirements. The format United Nations agencies and NGOs come to us for most often.

More on this service →

Event, conference and live coverage

Multi-camera conference recording, session capture, highlight reels turned around overnight, speaker interviews, photography and live streaming — produced alongside the team that is already running your event.

More on this service →

Social-first and vertical video

Shot vertical from the start rather than cropped from a 16:9 master: reels, shorts, creator collaborations and platform-native cutdowns, delivered with captions burned in because most of the audience is watching on mute.

CK STUDIO
Breaking
Make it real →

A mock call sheet — but the mechanics behind it are real. We write the script, board it, crew it, shoot it, cut it, mix it and hand over masters, platform cuts and subtitle files in both languages.

CK STUDIO is Content Khana’s own demo format. Durations, shoot days and crew sizes on a real quote come from your script and your locations.

Proof

Our production reel

Films, stills and campaigns that shipped. A media production company should be judged on what its work moved, not on how the showreel is cut — so here is the work alongside what it did.

Brand films
Brand films, commercials and documentary work produced end to end in Arabic and English.
Corporate
Corporate, product and event photography — briefed, shot, retouched and delivered to spec.
Campaign result
The #WeNeedToTalk campaign drew 21 million interactions in its first 24 hours — and made the national press the same week.
Owned publishing
Magazines, newsletters, post-event reports and multimedia production for UNIDO, Food Africa and the Arab Fertilizer Association.
Broadcast fluency
We prep and place spokespeople on ON, CBC, dmc and TeN — so we know what a broadcast desk will and will not accept before we shoot it.
How we work

Five stages, run in order

Every production follows the same path, run by a named producer who is on set from the first frame to the final mix.

  1. 01

    Script

    We start with the objective and the script — written by the same team that writes the press releases, not subcontracted and never an afterthought.

  2. 02

    Pre-produce

    Storyboard, casting, location scouting, crew and kit, call sheets, schedules and the permits that make a shoot legal.

  3. 03

    Shoot

    Multi-camera filming on location or in studio, photography, interviews, b-roll and drone — run by a named producer who is on set from first frame to wrap.

  4. 04

    Post

    Offline and online edit, colour grade, graphics, voice-over in both languages, sound design, music and the final mix.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Masters, platform cuts, subtitle files, raw footage handover and the archive — in every format the channel demands, before a camera is booked.

Clients

The organisations that hand us the camera

United Nations agencies, the European Commission, global technology brands, Egyptian market leaders and the country’s biggest trade events.

Writers in the same building

The script that goes on the call sheet is the same message that goes to the press and onto the stand — because the writers, PR team and designers sit upstairs from the production crew.

Broadcast fluency

We prep and place spokespeople on ON, CBC, dmc and TeN — so we know what a broadcast desk will and will not accept before we shoot it.

Full handover

Masters, platform cuts, subtitle files and the raw footage — not one MP4 and a login you lose in a year.

Why Content Khana

Five reasons clients stay

Writers in the same building

The script is written by the same team that writes the press releases and the brand messaging — not subcontracted and never an afterthought.

Integration

PR, content, brand and events sit under one roof, so the film says the same thing as the press release, the stand and the social post.

Bilingual by default

Every film scripted natively in Arabic and English — not subtitled after, which is why both language versions sound like they were written first.

Named producer

A named producer who is on set from the first frame to the final mix — not a director who sells the project and hands it to an editor you never meet.

Full handover

Masters, platform cuts, subtitle files and the raw footage — in every format the channel demands, stated before a camera is booked.

Human, not automated

Media production with an artistic, human-driven touch — meticulous craft, continuous quality control, no template edits.

Questions

Media production, answered honestly

A media production company takes an idea and turns it into finished media: a script, a shoot, an edit, a mix and a set of files that play correctly wherever you put them. That covers concept and scripting, casting and location scouting, crew and call sheets, filming, photography, 2D and 3D animation, editing, colour, sound design, voice-over, subtitling and the delivery specs each platform demands.

There is no honest flat rate. Cost depends on the format, the duration, the shoot days, the crew size, the locations and the post-production requirements. A 20-second social reel is priced differently from a 90-second brand film with two shoot days. We script first, then scope against your objective and give you a fixed number before anything starts.

We do. The script is written by the same team that writes the press releases, the brand messaging and the editorial content — not subcontracted and never an afterthought. That is the difference between a film that says something and a film that just looks good.

Yes. Every film is scripted natively in both languages, not subtitled after. We cast and record voice-over in both Arabic and English — Egyptian colloquial and Modern Standard — and deliver subtitles in both languages, burned in or as SRT files.

You receive masters in 4K and HD, platform cuts in 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16, broadcast-ready TVC files, burned-in and SRT subtitles, web-optimised exports, archive masters and the raw footage. Every format the channel demands is stated in the quote before a camera is booked.

Extensively. Our clients include UNDP, UNESCO, WHO, UNIDO, UNFPA, UN Women, UNODC, UN-Habitat, ILO, the European Commission, GIZ, the British Council, Plan International, Handicap International and CARE Egypt. We are one of the United Nations’ accredited companies for events management.

Yes. We handle multi-camera conference recording, session capture, highlight reels turned around overnight, speaker interviews, photography and live streaming — produced alongside the team that is already running your event.

Yes. We take on rescue edits of footage another video editing company already shot — we audit what is usable, cut it into something that works, and deliver the masters and platform cuts. Sometimes the footage is fine and the edit was the problem; sometimes we will tell you honestly that a reshoot is the better answer.

Let’s talk
