Collision repair is a high-stakes service. People don’t just want their vehicle to look good again—they want to know it’s safe, repaired correctly, and handled by a team they can trust.
That’s what this project was really about: Spark Pixel partnered with Blaise Alexander’s Collision & Repair Center in Lewisburg to introduce their new branch and showcase what working with their team looks like from start to finish—estimating, repair workflow, paint, and final quality control. No sales pitch. Just service and repair precision, captured with real people and real process.
Watch the final video here:

The "Why" Behind This Project
A new collision and repair branch needs more than a website listing—it needs instant credibility. When someone’s dealing with accident damage, they’re looking for clear answers:
Who’s actually working on my vehicle?
What’s the process—and how long will it take?
How do I know it’s being repaired the right way?
The goal of this video was simple: introduce the new Collision & Repair Center and make the experience feel understandable and trustworthy before a customer ever makes the call.
So instead of a “dealership story,” we built a start-to-finish walkthrough of what it’s like to work with the collision team—showing the departments, the workflow, and the people responsible for quality—guided on camera by Noah (estimator).
Introduction to Noah (Your Estimator Guide)
The Concept: Service and Repair Precision (With Real People Behind It)
When we sat down to plan this shoot, two words kept coming up: precision and people—but in a collision-repair context.
Precision because collision work is about correct repairs, consistent process, and quality checks—not shortcuts. In the video, the team sums it up best:
“Our number one priority is to ensure that your vehicle leaves as safe as it was when it left the factory.”
People because trust is built face-to-face. That’s why we designed the video around interviews and sound bites from the team customers actually interact with, including Noah (estimator) and the collision center manager.
We also made sure the video clearly communicates two huge trust signals customers care about:
I-CAR certification
They repair ALL makes and models (not just Dodge)
Our creative direction:
Start-to-finish story beats: a clear walkthrough of what a customer experiences—from the first conversation and estimate through repair stages and final handoff.
Department walkthrough visuals: camera walk-throughs of each area so viewers can see the workflow (and the professionalism) instead of just hearing about it.
Straightforward interviews: simple, confident sound bites that explain the process in plain language—no scripts, no fluff.
A real “what to expect” workflow that Noah guides viewers through: customer lounge (snacks/coffee) → 30–40 minute estimate → repair bay (including test-fitting parts) → paint shop (with a mixing station aiming for a 100% color match).
The tone? Confident, practical, and human—exactly how you want collision repair to feel.
The Process: How We Brought It to Life
Pre-Production
Every great video starts with a plan. Before we ever showed up with cameras, we worked with the Blaise Alexander team to map out the story as a customer walkthrough—so the final edit would feel clear, helpful, and trust-building.
We aligned on:
Story beats from first contact → estimate → repair stages → final quality control / pickup
Who to interview (including Noah, an estimator, and the collision center manager) to give the video real authority
Which departments to feature so the new branch felt tangible and “real” to viewers (not just a building shot)
Key credibility points to capture on camera, including I-CAR certification and the fact they repair all makes and models
We also kept interview questions simple and practical—focused on what customers want to know when their vehicle is in the shop.
Production Day
Shoot day was all about capturing the shop in motion and letting the facility tell the story. We moved through the collision center with camera walkthroughs of each department, pairing visuals with interviews that explain what’s happening—and why it matters.
We captured:
Walkthrough footage that guides viewers through the process (department by department), with Noah (estimator) as the on-camera guide
Interview sound bites from estimators and the collision center manager, reinforcing safety-first repairs and clear communication
Customer-facing details that matter in real life (like the customer lounge with snacks and coffee)
The estimating flow (a 30–40 minute estimate) so customers know what to expect
Repair bay visuals, including test-fitting parts to ensure fit and quality before moving forward
Paint shop coverage, including the paint mixing station designed for a 100% color match
Craft-focused b-roll (hands-at-work, prep, repair details, paint-related visuals, and final inspection moments)
Workflow Walkthrough (What Customers See, Step by Step)
Lighting was key here. Service bays and repair environments can be tricky—mixed color temps, bright overheads, and reflective surfaces. We brought our own lighting setup to keep interviews clean and consistent. (If you've ever struggled with harsh lighting on a shoot, we've got a guide for that.)
If any aerial coverage is ever needed for a facility like this, we manage that through trusted licensed drone partners—Spark Pixel doesn’t provide licensed drone services directly.
Post-Production
This is where the story tightens up. We shaped the edit so it feels like a confident, easy-to-follow walkthrough—not an ad.
That meant:
Strategic editing to pair each department walkthrough with the most relevant sound bites
Color grading for a clean, cinematic, “high-trust” look
Music selection that supports confidence and calm (no hype)
Motion graphics for subtle labeling and clarity
Captions for silent autoplay on social feeds
The result? A hero video that feels like a mini guided tour—built to earn trust fast.
The Repurposing Plan: One Shoot, Months of Content
Here’s where a walkthrough-style hero video really starts to pay off.
That single shoot day didn’t just produce one “overview.” It produced a content library the collision center can use across platforms—especially helpful for a new branch that needs consistent visibility in places like Lewisburg, Harrisburg, Lancaster, York, and Philadelphia search + social feeds.
We’re talking:
15-second and 30-second cutdowns optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
Quote clips featuring standout sound bites from estimators and the collision center manager
Department spotlight micro-videos (estimate, repair, paint/prep, quality control)
Thumbnail stills for YouTube, email headers, and social posts
Longer interview segments for website embedding or LinkedIn
This is exactly what we mean when we talk about video as a foundation, not a one-and-done project. The hero walkthrough builds trust on the website and YouTube over time, and the cutdowns keep the new branch visible week after week.
The Results: Higher Trust Through Higher Perceived Professionalism
This project wasn’t judged by a “viral” moment—it was judged by whether the video made the new collision center feel legit, organized, and trustworthy.
The biggest win was qualitative: the GM’s feedback. After seeing the final product and how the production was handled end-to-end, the GM shared that Spark Pixel’s professionalism was “way better” than videographers they had worked with previously.
And that matters—because when the content feels high-trust, the business behind it feels high-trust too. For collision repair especially, perceived professionalism is the difference between “maybe” and “book the estimate.”
Three Takeaways Any Pennsylvania Service Business Can Steal
1. Show the process, not the pitch. For high-stakes services like collision repair, customers want clarity. A start-to-finish walkthrough builds confidence faster than big claims ever will.
2. Put the experts on camera. Estimators and managers aren’t “marketing talent”—they’re credibility. Short, clear sound bites from the people who run the process are trust builders.
3. Invest in the foundation, then amplify. One strong hero video can turn into months of department spotlights, quote clips, and short cutdowns—perfect for staying visible across Pennsylvania markets.
