The difference

Every production company
in Dallas says they work
with Fortune 500 brands.
We can tell you which ones.

Most companies that claim Fortune 500 experience mean they once shot a video for a mid-size company that happened to sell to large corporations. We mean something different: active, direct, multi-year relationships with companies that appear on the list by name.

XPO has been a Fortune 500 company for years, ranked as high as #180 overall, and #1 in transportation and logistics for five consecutive years. GXO debuted on the Fortune 500 immediately after spinning off from XPO in 2021. Capital One sits at #82. McKesson is routinely in the top 10.

These aren't name-drops. They're relationships where we show up, get cleared through security, understand the brand standards, work through the approval process, and deliver work that runs inside some of the most visible organizations in the country.

When XPO decided to spin off GXO and RXO as independent companies, Side Chops was already embedded as their production partner. We documented one of the most complex corporate transformations in logistics history, from warehouse floors to Wall Street opening bells, producing brand launches, investor content, internal communications, and market leadership video for three companies simultaneously across 37 U.S. locations over six years.

They have gone the extra mile to understand our specific branding needs, our post-production workflow, and our company culture, to the point that they are a seamless extension of XPO's video team.

Fortune 500 · Direct client
Capital One
Fortune 500 · Ranked #82
Direct client since 2021

Capital One has an exceptional internal video team. What they call Side Chops for is the work that falls outside their capacity: production shoots where their editors take the cut, motion graphics and animated content when their team is at capacity, and video assets for high-stakes Town Hall meetings when the team is already stretched building other deliverables for the same event.

McKesson
Fortune 500 · Routinely top 10
Direct client since 2022

McKesson is one of the largest companies in the United States. Our work with them spans internal meeting video, trade show content, motion graphics, and a C-Suite production for a meeting kickoff, including an executive-led creative piece. When a Fortune 500 company puts its C-Suite in creative video content, they're not calling someone they just met.

What it actually takes

Fortune 500 production
isn't harder to shoot.
It's harder to navigate.

The cameras are the same. What changes is everything around them. Brand standards with hundreds of pages of guidelines. Legal review on every deliverable. Multi-stakeholder approval chains that can involve five departments before a frame gets signed off. Security clearances, NDAs, and confidentiality requirements that mean most of the work never sees a portfolio.

We've been inside all of it. We know how to keep production moving through a Fortune 500 approval process without losing momentum, and how to come back six months later without re-learning the brand.

Brand standards at scale
Fortune 500 brand guidelines aren't suggestions. We learn them the first time and carry them forward, so every project reinforces the brand.
Multi-layer approval processes
Legal, brand, communications, and executive review don't slow us down. We plan for them. Timelines and deliverables are structured around the approval process.
Confidentiality as a given
Most Fortune 500 production never becomes a case study. We're comfortable doing excellent work that doesn't go in our portfolio. That's not a sacrifice. It's the job.
Access that takes time to earn
C-Suite interviews. Restricted facilities. Investor-grade content. These aren't projects you hand to a new vendor. They go to the team that has already demonstrated it can handle them.
Fitting into an existing team
Large companies have internal creative departments. We know how to work alongside internal teams, taking direction, extending capacity, and contributing without disrupting the workflow.
Scale without losing quality
37 locations for one client. Multiple simultaneous deliverable tracks for three brands at once. Fortune 500 scale requires a production partner that can build the right crew for any scope.
Large-scale production · Lippincott

18 days. 14 cities.
9,016 miles.
One launch.

In partnership with global brand consultancy Lippincott, Side Chops documented the North American launch of a global building solutions company, producing a launch film series and a footage and photography library across 14 U.S. cities in 18 production days.

The scope required coordinating aerial cinematography, executive interviews in active industrial facilities, crew members spread across the country, and a second production company working in parallel. Everything delivered on schedule.

Who this is right for

You'll know if this
sounds like your situation.

You're in a large organization and your current production vendor doesn't understand how it works. They miss the approval window. They don't know the brand. Every project feels like starting from scratch. You need a partner who can function inside a corporate environment, not just deliver to it.
You have an internal video team and you need outside production capacity. We've worked alongside internal creative departments at Fortune 500 companies. We know how to extend their capability without getting in the way.
You need a production partner who can handle confidential work without it becoming a portfolio piece. Most of our best Fortune 500 work has never been publicly shown. We're comfortable with that. It's how this level of work operates.
The project is large, complex, or high-stakes enough that you can't afford to figure out a new production company mid-stream. Multi-location shoots. Executive content. Investor-facing deliverables. When the margin for error is small, experience with this type of work matters more than a low quote.

you're working on.
