Ridge Films
Ridge Films has been selected as an ABA100® Winner for Product Innovation in The Australian Business Awards 2025. The Australian Business Award for Product Innovation [PIA] recognises products and services that provide innovative solutions for business and market needs.
Ridge Films Corporate Pty Ltd is a Sydney-based DIY video production and coaching company established in 2002. Over more than two decades, Ridge Films has built a national reputation for helping organisations communicate with clarity and impact through video. Originally operating as a traditional production house, the company evolved in response to market demand, shifting from one-off project work to delivering productised systems that enable professionals to produce high-quality video independently.
Ridge Films’ Complete Video Success System (CVSS) is a packaged solution that integrates two components: the Premium Desktop Studio and the Video Confidence Collective coaching program. Together, these create a repeatable and scalable system that enables small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and professionals to produce broadcast-quality video content directly from their offices or homes.
The Premium Desktop Studio provides professional-grade camera, lighting, audio, backdrop, and teleprompter technology in a compact format. With one-button activation and pre-configured settings, users achieve consistent, professional results without technical expertise. The studio functions as the default camera and microphone across platforms such as Zoom, Teams, LinkedIn, and YouTube, transforming everyday communication into professional-grade video.
The Video Confidence Collective complements the technology by building user capability through Ridge Films’ proprietary Four Pillars framework: Messaging, Performance, Technology, and Implementation. Clients receive structured coaching, digital resources, and ongoing support, ensuring they develop the confidence and skills to use the system effectively. This integration of hardware and human capability distinguishes CVSS from competitors that typically provide either equipment bundles or training, but not both.
CVSS was created to address persistent barriers that had prevented SMEs from adopting video consistently. Traditional videography required significant budgets, caused delays due to scheduling external crews, and demanded technical expertise that most professionals lacked. Many also lacked confidence on camera. CVSS resolves these issues by offering affordability through a one-time investment, efficiency through on-demand recording, simplicity through a plug-and-play design, and capability through structured coaching. The target market includes SMEs, consultants, educators, marketers, and media professionals seeking scalable, professional video without dependence on outsourced production.
For end users, the benefits are direct and measurable. High-definition video and balanced lighting improve professional credibility. Directional audio ensures clarity, while the teleprompter supports fluent delivery. One-button activation reduces setup time, and coaching builds skills in scripting and presentation. Clients report tangible outcomes, including $4,000 saved per shoot, 16+ hours saved per project, $50,000 in new sales from a single campaign, and more than 15 million weekly views from a home studio.
The Complete Video Success System complies with all mandatory Australian standards and consumer regulations, with equipment sourced from reputable suppliers and installations delivered in line with Australian Consumer Law. Packages start at AUD $12,700, with optional upgrades and financing available. The system is distributed nationally and internationally, with successful installations in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
The unique value of CVSS lies in transforming video from a costly, outsourced activity into an everyday business capability. By combining professional-grade technology with structured coaching and long-term support, Ridge Films has created the first packaged DIY video production system of its kind in Australia. It delivers measurable benefits for clients while setting a new benchmark for video enablement across industries.
Through CVSS, Ridge Films has redefined how professionals approach video communication. The system is more than a collection of tools; it is a pathway to sustainable growth, professional credibility, and long-term success in a digital-first world.
