A construction business preparing a campaign may need more than a video. The film might sit beside a landing page, printed material or advertising assets. Comparing Live Images with Total Media Productions begins with deciding whether you are buying one clearly defined film or seeking coordination across several kinds of media.
This article is prepared for Live Images, not an independent review of either supplier. It reflects public information checked on 31 October 2026, without implying an affiliation or firsthand experience of the competitor’s work.
Compare the published starting points
Total Media Productions identifies itself as a Hobart media business. Its service list includes corporate and web video, television production, branding, radio, website and social-media design, signage and print-related work. That breadth is a reason to ask about a combined commission; the list alone does not establish how a particular bundle is priced or managed.
Live Images’ current services centre on project video for builders and construction teams. The published options range from three short project clips to an interview-led case study and a quarterly production partnership. Additional photography, animation and other production requirements can be quoted separately. This is a focused starting scope, not a claim that the business can or cannot undertake every adjacent task.
For the buyer, the useful distinction is who needs to coordinate the whole campaign. A business with an existing designer and website team may only need a production supplier to deliver the agreed films. Another business may prefer to enquire about several media outputs through one provider.
Define the handovers before comparing fees
Write down where the video will appear and what other assets must be ready at the same time. If a new landing page is involved, identify who provides its text, images and publishing access. If print or signage carries the same message, decide who approves the terminology and visual treatment across those outputs.
Then ask each supplier which responsibilities it proposes to own. A broad service menu should not be read as automatic inclusion of every item. Equally, a focused film quote should not be marked incomplete because it excludes work you never asked that supplier to provide.
Avoid assuming that a combined order will cost less. The useful comparison is the complete agreed scope, including any external suppliers and the coordination your team would otherwise perform. No current like-for-like quotes have been obtained for this article.
Keep the project story clear inside a campaign
A campaign can ask the film to do too many jobs: explain the company, document a building, recruit staff and promote a launch. Choose the primary viewing situation before settling the production brief. Supporting assets can serve the other uses without making every sentence of the film carry the entire campaign.
For example, a hypothetical builder launching a completed project might need a clear case-study film for prospects, short clips for social posts and separate factual copy for a printed handout. The shared message should be consistent, but the formats do not need to contain identical material. This planning example is not a reported project from either company.
Live Images’ Industry Standard scope provides a defined main film and short-edit combination. A buyer considering Total Media’s wider service list should request an equally explicit output schedule for the proposed package, rather than comparing a broad label with a specified deliverable.
Resolve location and responsibility together
Total Media’s published base is Hobart. Live Images’ contact information states Sunshine Coast and SEQ service coverage. An interstate comparison needs confirmation of filming arrangements, travel and the people responsible for local production. There is no implied Tasmanian office or confirmed travel availability for Live Images.
Total Media is a relevant enquiry when a Hobart-based cross-media brief matches its published service range. Live Images is a relevant enquiry when the immediate need is a defined construction project film in its stated area, or a separately confirmed arrangement elsewhere.
Ask Live Images about the film component with any wider campaign dependencies included in your brief. That allows a useful scope discussion without assuming that either a specialist commission or a broader media package is inherently the better purchase.
