What Lemonlight does well

Professional US video production

Lemonlight has built a strong production operation in the US market. Their templated process makes pricing transparent and delivery predictable. They handle everything from concept to delivery, with their own production crews handling filming on location.

For US-based companies that need professionally filmed content and want a full-service experience where the production company manages everything, Lemonlight delivers consistent results.

What Shootsta adds

Global reach and subscription economics

Shootsta operates across Australia, the US, UK, and Asia-Pacific with offices in four countries. The subscription model means teams in any location can produce video content without booking a local production company for each shoot.

The hybrid filming model - your team films with guidance, editors deliver - means you can produce training videos, internal comms, social clips, and marketing content alongside the crew-filmed hero content. All under one subscription, all on-brand.

Which one should you choose?

If you're a US-based company that needs a few professionally filmed videos per quarter and wants someone else to handle the whole production, Lemonlight is a good fit.

If you need regular video across multiple formats and locations - or if you operate outside the US - Shootsta's subscription model gives you broader reach, faster turnaround, and better value at volume.
