The Studio Plan
Stop buying videos. Start running a studio.
The Studio Plan is Harper Belmont Media's flat-rate monthly video program for founders, executives and brands in Dallas-Fort Worth who need to be on camera consistently. You get your own studio, a shoot a month and a production line that never stops moving.
Most content subscriptions meter your camera time. Ours meters the edit queue instead, because editing is the only part that actually costs anything.
$5,000/mo
$5,000/mo, billed quarterly at $15,000. No onboarding fee. No long term agreement. Cancel anytime.
Cancelling stops the next quarter's invoice. The current quarter is not prorated.
What's included
- Unlimited in-studio recording
- 1 half-day on-location shoot per month
- 3 videos in edit at once. Shoot as much as you want. We edit three at a time, and as each one finishes we roll straight to the next.
- On-site producer
- Quarterly strategy session
Why unlimited is honest
Filming in the studio is genuinely unlimited. The edit queue governs delivery, not capture. Shoot a hundred videos if you want. Three are in edit at any given moment, and the moment one is approved the next one starts. There is no meter on your camera time and no credit bank to track.

Studio Plan questions
Film as much as you want in our studio during business hours, subject to calendar availability. Three videos are in edit at any given moment, and as soon as one is approved the next one starts. Editing is the only part with real cost, so it is the only part with a number on it.
As many as you can feed a three-slot edit queue. For most clients that lands between three and six finished pieces a month. If you consistently outrun the queue, that is a conversation about moving up to Momentum, which keeps five videos in edit at once.
No. There is no long term agreement and you can cancel anytime. We bill a quarter at a time, $15,000 in advance, so cancelling stops the next quarter's invoice. The current quarter is not prorated. A quarter is about how long it takes to know whether the system is working for you.
Usually by a wide margin. A full-time content hire costs roughly $180,000 a year once salary, benefits and gear are included, and one person still cannot run a studio, a crew and an edit queue. The Studio Plan is $60,000 a year for the studio, the crew, the production line and a producer.
Our studio is in the Dallas area and is available Monday to Friday during business hours. Each month includes one half-day shoot at a single location within the DFW metro, such as your office, a plant or an event. Travel outside the metro, extra crew and full-day upgrades are quoted separately.
