06 / VIDEO PRODUCTION IN HOUSTON
HOUSTON VIDEO
PRODUCTION, BUILT AROUND THE OBJECTIVE.
I am Thomas Cannon, a Houston video producer. I direct, produce, film, edit, and design sound myself, so every project carries one clear vision from the first conversation to the final files.
What I make in Houston
Four kinds of film. One standard.
For police departments, public agencies, and brands that have something real to say. See the work or go straight to police recruiting videos.
Turn information into action.
Short films that turn important information into a message people understand and act on.
Follow the climb.
Long-form coverage that follows people through training, pressure, and growth. The CadetWatch series for Pasadena Police Department is the example.
Earn attention fast.
Mobile-first portraits and campaign films for organizations with something meaningful to communicate.
How a Houston shoot works
From the objective to the final files.
- 01Strategy. We define the audience, the objective, the core message, and the response the film should inspire.
- 02Pre-production. The direction becomes a treatment, script, interview plan, locations, schedule, and shot list.
- 03Production. Interviews and on-location action with cinematic camera work, documentary coverage, and drone imagery.
- 04Post-production. Editing, music, color, motion, and sound, finished into one clear emotional experience.
- 05Delivery. The master film, cutdowns, vertical versions, captions, and organized final files for every platform.
Who I work with
Where trust matters as much as the image.
Public agencies, first responders, and purpose-driven organizations. Recent work includes a recruiting film for La Porte Police Department and the CadetWatch documentary series for Pasadena Police Department. Based in Houston, working across Texas and nationwide on select projects.
Questions, answered
Before we begin.
Do you work outside Houston?
Yes. TC Productions is based in the Houston area and is available for select projects throughout Texas and nationwide.
Can one production create content for several platforms?
Yes. The campaign can be planned around a primary film plus shorter edits, vertical versions, captions, and platform-specific deliverables from the same production.
How early should we start planning?
Four to eight weeks is a strong starting window for most projects. Larger campaigns, multi-location productions, and complex approval processes benefit from more lead time.
Do I need a finished concept?
No. Bring the objective, the audience, or the beginning of an idea. The job is to find the story inside it and build a clear way to tell it.
Do you handle paperwork for agencies?
W-9, certificate of insurance, and vendor registration are handled before the shoot. Department references are available on request.
How is a project priced?
Every project is quoted after a short call about the objective, the locations, and the deliverables.
