St. Augustine Amphitheatre
A First Sight Films partner since 2022.
How First Sight Films Works with The Amp
What began as a video editing partnership in 2022 has grown into a comprehensive creative retainer with the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. First Sight Films now serves as the venue's go-to production team for video, photography, and creative direction across their full calendar of events.
Our monthly retainer covers three core areas: seasonal merchandise campaigns, concert coverage, and festival documentation. For merchandise, we produce lifestyle photo and video content featuring The Amp's apparel and goods—capturing the Florida outdoor aesthetic that resonates with their audience. Concert nights see us capturing artist performances, crowd energy, and behind-the-scenes moments that fuel their social media and promotional efforts.
The partnership extends to St. Augustine's signature festivals, including Sing Out Loud and other multi-day events hosted at The Amp and surrounding venues. From stage performances to vendor activations, we deliver a steady stream of content that keeps the venue connected with its community year-round.
This ongoing collaboration allows us to deeply understand The Amp's brand voice and deliver consistent, on-brand content without the overhead of project-by-project coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a video and photo retainer?
A retainer is an ongoing partnership where we provide a set amount of video and photo production each month. Instead of booking project-by-project, you get priority scheduling, consistent content output, and typically a lower per-deliverable cost. It's ideal for businesses that need regular content for social media, events, or marketing campaigns.
How does pricing work for a monthly retainer?
Retainer pricing is based on the scope of deliverables you need each month—number of shoots, video edits, photos, and turnaround time. We build a custom package that fits your budget and content goals. Most retainers start at a monthly commitment with flexible terms after an initial period.
What's included in a typical retainer package?
Packages vary, but most include a set number of shoot days, edited videos (short-form and/or long-form), edited photos, and revisions. We also include content strategy sessions to plan your calendar and ensure every shoot aligns with your marketing goals.
How is a retainer different from hiring us per project?
Per-project work is great for one-time needs, but retainers give you consistency, priority booking, and cost savings. You also get a production team that deeply understands your brand voice—no re-explaining your style every time.
Can I adjust my retainer if my needs change?
Yes. We review retainer scopes quarterly and can scale up or down based on your business needs. If you have a big event coming up, we can add capacity. If things slow down, we can adjust accordingly.
What types of businesses benefit most from a retainer?
Businesses with ongoing content needs—venues, restaurants, event spaces, real estate teams, and brands running active social media or ad campaigns. If you're constantly scrambling for fresh content, a retainer takes that off your plate.
