Video Hero & Brand Film Production in Colombia
The video hero is the most ambitious audiovisual piece in a brand’s strategy. It doesn’t sell a product or explain a service, it tells a story that connects emotionally with your audience’s values and positions your brand as a reference. At ProducciónAparte we produce video heroes and brand films with cinematic storytelling and global-caliber production values, leveraging the advantage of producing in Colombia: the same quality you’d expect from a US or European production, at a fraction of the cost.
What makes a video hero different?
- An elaborate creative concept: a powerful central idea representing your brand's DNA.
- A script with narrative structure: not a list of features, but a story that moves people.
- Cinematic production: cinematography, lighting, art direction, and high-level casting.
- Advanced post-production: color grading, sound design, motion graphics, and, when it adds value, integration with stock and hybrid production.
A real case: the Ontop Visa Card video hero
For Ontop, a global payments and payroll platform for remote workers, we developed the video hero for the Ontop Visa Card. The challenge was to capture the DNA of remote workers, people who work from anywhere in the world and live a truly global life.
The creative solution was ambitious: to evoke that global life through footage shot in different locations across Colombia, with actors of different looks and origins representing the diversity of Ontop’s global community. We complemented the shoot with carefully selected stock footage and dynamic editing that unified everything into a single, fluid narrative.
The result was a global-caliber video produced entirely with local production in Colombia. This is precisely what makes Colombia a strategic production hub: the ability to tell international stories, with diverse talent and locations, without the cost of a production shot across multiple countries. A client with a global presence got a piece with an international look while radically optimizing its investment.

FAQ
What's the difference between a video hero and a commercial?
A commercial seeks recall or direct sales in a short time. A video hero tells a deeper story that connects with your brand’s values and positions it as a reference. It’s usually longer (2-4 minutes) with a cinematic narrative structure.
Can you produce a video with an international look from Colombia?
Yes, it’s one of our specialties. As we did with Ontop, we can evoke a global life using Colombia’s diversity of locations and talent, complemented with stock and post-production. The result is a global-caliber piece at local production costs.
How long does it take to produce a video hero?
Between 6 and 10 weeks, depending on concept complexity and number of locations. Pre-production is key: the more time invested in planning, the better the final result.
Do you work with international brands remotely?
Yes. We manage the entire process with English-language communication, remote approvals, and real-time reviews. Most of our international clients never need to travel to Colombia.
