Video production for the pharmaceutical industry

ZerezoFilms produces video for the pharmaceutical industry from Mexico City: institutional pieces, testimonials, training films and employer branding, with scripted narrative, cinematography and post at the same level we apply to an advertising spot. This reel collects sector work, including the film produced for Reel Pharma.

What is in this reel

Working labs and plants, interviews with specialists, process and product detail, and the context shots that hold an institutional piece together. This is real sector work, not a stock assembly. The film that appears most is the one produced for Reel Pharma, rounded out with industrial shoots where controlling the location and its safety rules matters as much as the framing.

What makes pharmaceutical production different

It is one of the verticals where production is decided before the camera is switched on. Everything said on screen goes through regulatory and legal review, so the script closes with those people in the room rather than after: rewriting an approved voiceover costs more than shooting it right the first time. It changes the calendar too, because a review cycle does not move faster with budget.

On location the difference is access. A plant or a lab has areas the crew enters under protocol, in specific dress, and in time windows set by operations rather than by the shoot. That gets planned up front: what can be filmed in live production, what is recreated, and what is solved with detail and macro so a line never has to stop.

Casting matters more than it looks. When the person speaking is one of the company's own specialists rather than an actor, directing that performance is what separates a credible testimonial from a read one. The piece is won or lost there.

Frequently asked questions

Can you film inside a working plant or laboratory?

Yes, and it is planned from pre-production. We agree with the company which areas allow a crew, under what protocol and in which windows, and what material is solved through detail or recreation so a production line never stops. Restrictions are settled before the shoot, not on set.

How do you handle regulatory review of what the video says?

By closing the script with medical, legal and regulatory teams before shooting. In pharma an approved voiceover cannot be touched without another review, so a correction is far cheaper in a document than in an edit suite. The project calendar accounts for that cycle from the start.

How long does a pharmaceutical corporate video take?

A typical corporate video runs 2 to 4 weeks depending on locations and scope, counting pre-production, shoot and post. In pharma it is worth adding the script's regulatory review time, which depends on the company rather than on production.
