The major film studios mentioned above are often part of even larger multi-media conglomerates. For example, Paramount Pictures is a subsidiary of ViacomCBS. These companies have everything from the funding to the physical filming locations as well as distribution. Still, many production companies do not own their own film studios. They consist of the creative energy and development teams behind the movie before it gets filmed. Many producers need to find a film studio or video production company that fits their needs when it comes time for the shooting of their film.
By definition, a video production company is first and foremost a legal business entity. They may be producing video content for major film festivals, feature films, corporate promotions, music videos, publishing houses, modeling agencies, or other media related fields. Just like any other small business, they’ll have a business location, business bank account, business credit card, business insurance, and, most importantly, a business plan. So yeah, lots of Big Business.
