The questions people ask us most, answered plainly. If yours isn’t here, call or send a note.
Who is Two Horn Productions?
Two Horn Productions is an Emmy Award-winning, husband-and-wife video production company in Gibsonia, in Pittsburgh’s North Hills. PJ Horn directs and shoots, Chelsea Horn designs and animates, and they have been making commercials, brand films and documentaries for about fifteen years.
What kinds of videos does Two Horn make?
Commercials, brand films, documentaries, corporate and recruiting videos, customer testimonials, product videos, event coverage, livestreams, drone and FPV footage, motion graphics and social content. Planning, shooting, editing, color, sound and graphics are all handled by the same team.
How much does video production cost in Pittsburgh?
It depends mostly on how many shoot days, locations and people on camera a project needs, and how much editing and animation follows, so Two Horn quotes each project after a short call. For small businesses there is one fixed package: The 5415, five short FAQ videos from one shoot for $1,500.
How long does a video project take?
It depends on the project: a simple piece can come together quickly, while a campaign with several deliverables takes longer. The 5415 package is delivered within 10 business days of the shoot. Share your deadline on the first call and you’ll get an honest answer about whether it’s realistic.
Where is Two Horn based, and what areas do you cover?
Two Horn is based in Gibsonia, PA, minutes from Cranberry Township and Wexford. They shoot all over Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania and travel when a project needs it.
Can I hire a cinematographer or DP for my own production?
Yes. Agencies and producers hire PJ Horn as a director of photography or camera operator; he shoots to your creative and delivery specs, with cinema cameras in 4K and 8K, lighting, sound and drone.
Do you shoot drone video?
Yes. PJ is an FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot, and Two Horn flies both standard aerial drones and FPV for fly-throughs, property and facility tours, events and brand films.
Do you edit and add motion graphics, or just shoot?
Both. Editing, color grading, sound mixing, motion graphics and animation happen in house. The team holds Adobe Certified Professional, DaVinci Resolve and Cinema 4D certifications.
Who has Two Horn worked with?
Projects include Rather Be Strong for Dick’s Sporting Goods (post-production), The Islands for the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium, Colorful Communities for PPG, Creator Spaces for The Andrew Effect Foundation, and Opening Day for the Pittsburgh Diamond Dawgs.
Do you work with marketing and ad agencies?
Yes. Two Horn works alongside Pittsburgh agencies as a production partner, shooting to the agency’s creative, picking up existing footage, or adding crew, drone or motion graphics when a job gets bigger.
