Video production in Perth for businesses doing real work.

Roughidea is a Perth video production company for local service-based businesses, from trades and construction to any business with real work to show. We come up with the ideas, direct the shoot and deliver social videos, corporate films and ongoing content, edited and ready to use.

What we make

Perth video production, three ways.

Start with a one-off shoot, or make video a regular part of how you win work.

Short-form

Social media videos

A batch of short videos from one planned shoot, ready for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok.

Projects

Corporate videos

Brand films, case studies, testimonials and recruitment videos, produced as standalone projects.

Core offer

Ongoing videos

A monthly content partnership: planning, filming, editing and publishing on a steady rhythm.

Who we film for

Built for businesses with real work to show.

Your best marketing is already happening on site, in the workshop or out in the field. It just isn't being filmed.

Construction and building

Projects from slab to handover, the crew behind them and the standards you work to.

Trades and home services

Before and afters, quick tips and the people who turn up on the day.

Civil, mining and resources

Capability, safety, induction and recruitment videos for sites across WA.

Property and development

Finished spaces, progress updates and the story behind each development.

Manufacturing and industrial

How things are made, and why your process does it better.

Agriculture

Farms, growers and agribusinesses showing the work behind the produce.

How it works

From first call to finished video.

Every shoot follows the same four steps, so it's easy on your team and the videos are useful well beyond social.

01

Find the stories

Projects, people and customer questions that prove your capability.

02

Plan with purpose

Every video has a reason to exist and a place it’ll be used.

03

Direct the shoot

We guide your team on camera. No scripts or concepts needed from you.

04

Deliver everywhere

Formatted for social, your website, proposals and sales conversations.

Where we film

Across Perth, on your sites.

We film on location across the Perth metro area, from Joondalup to Mandurah and out to the Hills. Building sites, workshops, offices, factories and finished homes. No studio hire, and minimal disruption to your team.

Regional WA shoots are planned and quoted separately, and we can often line them up with your project schedule.

Questions

Video production FAQs.

How much does video production cost in Perth?

It depends on the format, how many videos you need and how much filming is involved. Every project is scoped and quoted in writing before we start, so you know the cost up front.

Where in Perth do you film?

Anywhere across the Perth metro area: on your sites, in your workshop, office or factory, or at finished projects. Regional WA shoots are planned and quoted separately.

Do we need a script or ideas?

No. Coming up with the ideas is our job. We find the stories in your projects and team, plan every shot and guide your people on the day.

Can you film on an active construction site?

Yes. We follow your site rules, wear the right PPE, complete inductions and work around your crew so the job keeps moving.

How long does a video project take?

Most projects go from first call to finished videos in a few weeks. You'll get a clear timeline in the plan before we film.

Do you only work with trades and construction?

No. We work with local service-based businesses of all kinds. If you have real work, people and projects worth showing, we can film it.

Who owns the videos?

You can use them across social, your website, proposals, sales and ads. Usage rights are set out in your agreement.
