The studio behind video that makes business sense.
Video Department (VIDEO DEPT.) is a Fort Lauderdale video studio that makes brand films, founder interviews, and event coverage for South Florida companies — video tied to a business goal, not just pretty footage.
I'm Nikita Marushkov. I founded the studio in 2017, and I lead every project from the first call to the final file.
What VIDEO DEPT. does
Brand films & commercials
Short brand stories and commercials built around one clear message. Concept, script, shoot, and edit — handled in-house.
Founder & executive interviews
Cinematic interviews that put the person behind the company on camera — for about pages, investor decks, and recruiting.
Conference & event coverage
Multi-day trade show and conference coverage: keynotes, floor buzz, and interviews, cut into recaps and social clips fast.
Boat show booth videos
A day at your booth at FLIBS, Miami or Palm Beach, cut into a short film your sales team uses all year.
Podcast & video studio setup
Studios built in homes and offices: the room, the sound, the gear for your budget, and training so you can record on your own.

What makes VIDEO DEPT. different
Business sense first
Every project starts with the goal — leads, hires, ticket sales, trust — and the video is built to serve it. If a shot doesn't earn its budget, it doesn't make the cut.
One person, start to finish
You deal with one person from the first call to the final file. I lead every project; for bigger shoots I bring in experienced freelance crew.
Top-10 YouTube channel experience
I'm also the director of photography for a top-10 YouTube channel, where the videos I've shot have passed 3 billion views. Your project gets the same eye.
Fixed quote, no hourly fog
Send the form or book a free call and you get an exact fixed quote the same business day — not an hourly meter that runs while you watch.
Fast without being sloppy
First cut in about two weeks, two revision rounds included. Event rush edits land in days, not weeks.
Responsive like a partner
Same-day reply — usually within hours. You always know what's happening with your project and when it's done.
Who we work with
- South Florida B2B companies that need video to sell, hire, or explain
- Conference and trade show organizers that need coverage and recap content
The team behind VIDEO DEPT.

Earlier clients, 2017–2022
Nikita has filmed for business clients since 2017. A few reviews from that time, translated from Russian:
"The video about the two country residences our company built turned out simply amazing. It was the first time in all our 10 years of working with different videographers that the CEO approved a video on the first try, without any edits or comments."
"The task was to film a recap of our company's stand at an industry exhibition. In one day of filming, Nikita shot everything we needed and interviewed our staff. Sound, light, composition: excellent."
"He made sure of good sound, even though the speakers' lectures had to be recorded in a large hall. Everything was done well, on time and professionally."
