About Viven
What kind of videos does Viven produce?
Brand films, product videos, employer-branding campaigns, how-to and tutorial content, social media series and corporate communication. If it moves your business, we produce it — from a single hero film to a full always-on content pipeline.
Where is Viven based?
Our studio is at Zeughausstrasse 31, 8004 Zürich — in the heart of the city. From there we shoot across Switzerland and the rest of Europe, wherever your story takes place.
Who has Viven worked with?
187 brands across 32 industries — including UBS, Siemens, Porsche, ON, Chanel, FIFA and Philips. From global corporations to ambitious Swiss SMEs, the brief is always the same: video that moves the numbers.
What makes Viven different?
Feature-film craft with a business-first mindset. Founder Sebastian Cepeda produced the first Swiss feature film on Netflix — and we apply that discipline to every brief. We start with your goal, not with a camera.
Process & timing
How long does a video production take?
You typically see a first draft about two weeks after the agreed start. Social media series can be turned around in days, while larger employer-branding campaigns usually run four to eight weeks. We agree on the timeline before we start — and we stick to it.
How does the process work?
Four stages: Creative development, Pre-production, Production and Post-production. You get one contact person, clear milestones and a fixed schedule from kickoff to delivery — no surprises along the way.
Does Viven handle the whole production?
Yes. Concept, script, casting, shoot, edit, sound design and finishing are all run by one Viven team, with the right specialists brought in for your project. You brief us once and receive delivery-ready assets — we coordinate the whole crew, so you never have to.
How many revisions are included?
Every quote includes structured feedback rounds agreed upfront, so you always know where you stand. Clear checkpoints keep the project on schedule and on budget — with no surprise costs at the end.
Pricing
How much does a video cost?
Most projects range from CHF 4,000 to 80,000 — length, complexity and the number of shoot days drive the price. Tell us what you're working on and you'll get a clear, no-obligation quote, usually within one business day. Want a ballpark first? Try our video cost calculator.
Is video worth the investment?
Our clients think so. Siemens saw 3× more website visits after their brand film, and SV Group improved both recruiting and sales with a single video. A film is only worth making if it moves the numbers. Curious what your own budget would look like? Try our video cost calculator.
Do you offer packages for ongoing content?
Yes. For always-on social media content we offer batch production and retainer models: we plan and shoot efficiently in blocks, and you receive a steady stream of platform-ready videos at a lower cost per asset. Want a first estimate? Try our video cost calculator.
Delivery
In which languages do you deliver?
English, German and Spanish — produced natively, not just translated. Subtitles and additional language versions are available for every film, so one production can serve all your markets.
What formats do I get?
Delivery-ready masters plus the cutdowns you need: 16:9 for web and TV, 1:1 and 9:16 for social platforms. Every asset is optimised for the channel it will run on.
Who owns the footage?
You receive the usage rights agreed in your quote — clearly defined, no fine print. We keep your footage archived, so future cutdowns and new versions can be produced quickly without a new shoot.
Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?
Absolutely. We work within your corporate identity — logo animation, typography, colour grading and tone of voice — so every film feels unmistakably yours. Just send the guidelines with your brief.
Do you shoot outside Switzerland?
Yes, we shoot across Europe regularly. Planning, crew and equipment logistics are handled by us end to end — you get the same process and the same quality, wherever the location.
