Sandpiper Video Studio Site

About this project

Sandpiper Video is our own production studio, not just a client. We shoot event capture, testimonials, and promotional films for teams like Microsoft, REI, and Google, and we run a downtown Seattle studio available to rent by the hour. The site has to do two jobs at once: read as a credible production house to a corporate marketing lead, and convert a solo podcaster into a same-week studio booking.

Those are different sales cycles, so the site treats them differently. The main path is portfolio-led: a filterable work grid, organized by service (event capture, testimonials, promos), lets a prospective client find the case study closest to their own industry before ever talking to us.

The studio rental path is self-serve: gear list, per-hour pricing, and a direct booking flow, with a free trial session offered up front to get people in the door. No sales call required to reserve a slot.

Since this is our own site, it's also the place we prove out the component substrate we build client sites on, because the fastest way to know a pattern holds up is to run our own studio bookings through it.
