Security Clearance & NDA Protocols

Aerospace marketing is a paradox. You need to publicly demonstrate your innovation to win government contracts, but the technology that makes you competitive is often classified or proprietary.

Most video production companies do not understand this tension. They approach a hangar or a clean room looking for the most beautiful shot. We approach it looking for the liability.

For aerospace firms in the Denver Metro area, the goal isn’t to make a "viral" video. It is to document capability without violating International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). We call this approach "Redaction-First" Videography.

The Risk of "Cinematic" Ambition

When you hire a generalist corporate videographer, their primary goal is aesthetic. They want lens flares, dramatic angles, and dynamic movement. In the defense sector, this "cinematic flair" is a security risk.

A wide shot that looks beautiful to a director might inadvertently capture a proprietary sensor array in the background, a whiteboard containing trade secrets, or a badge with clearance levels visible.

We are not there to make a music video. We are there to document your manufacturing capacity and engineering prowess. We operate with Operational Security (OPSEC) as our primary filter. If a shot looks great but risks exposing IP, we don't take it.

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Protocols

The second failure point for standard video crews is a lack of situational awareness regarding Foreign Object Debris (FOD).

In a clean room or near a sensitive satellite assembly, a lost lens cap or a loose screw from a tripod isn't just an annoyance. It is a potential million-dollar damage event.

We speak the language of the floor. Our gear is secured. We minimize our footprint. We understand that in a clean room environment, the integrity of your hardware takes precedence over our lighting setup. We do not require your engineers to "watch us" to ensure we don't break protocol; we follow your FOD guidelines as if we were your employees.

The "Boring" Compliance That Matters

Creativity is easy. Compliance is hard. We differentiate ourselves by leaning into the administrative hurdles that scare away most creative agencies.

1. NDAs and Background Checks

We expect to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements. We are prepared to submit to background checks. We understand that for government contractors, these are not formalities; they are conditions of employment. We view the NDA not as a restriction on our portfolio, but as a guarantee of your privacy.

2. Air-Gapped Data Security

Most modern video companies rely on cloud-based workflows, uploading your footage to servers like Dropbox or Frame.io for editing. For sensitive aerospace projects, this is a vulnerability.

We offer a Data Security Workflow that keeps your footage offline.

• We do not upload sensitive raw footage to public clouds.

• We can hand off hard drives physically to your internal security team.

• We can edit on non-networked machines if the project classification requires it.

Local Relevance: Serving the Defense Corridor

We recognize that the Denver-Aurora-Boulder corridor is a unique ecosystem. Whether you are testing propulsion systems in Golden, assembling satellites in Aurora, or developing software in the Tech Center, you cannot easily transport your assets to a studio in RiNo.

This is the Studioless Advantage.

We bring the production capabilities to your secure facility. We are comfortable working in high-security environments where phones are banned and escorts are mandatory. We adapt our footprint to fit your security cage, ensuring you get high-fidelity video assets without ever moving your prototype off-site.

The Safe Next Step

Do not trust your intellectual property to a generalist who is more concerned with their demo reel than your security protocols.

If you need a partner who understands the difference between a marketing asset and a security breach, let’s talk. We are ready to discuss a compliant video strategy for your next government bid.
