Video production services under one roof
Most video projects fail in the gaps: between the agency that wrote the idea, the crew that shot it and the editor who never met either. We close those gaps by running the whole job ourselves. The person who reads your brief is the person on set and the person in the edit suite, so nothing gets lost in the hand-over.
We work with agencies, brands and businesses to create exceptional content at any budget level without compromising quality. Creative direction, production management and post production all sit under one roof, and Adam St John, our creative director, is your first point of contact from the first call to the final file.
That's been the model since 2009, across more than a thousand videos. It's why agencies trust us with their clients, and why in-house marketing teams come back year after year. JCDecaux worked with us for more than five years on campaigns and company reels. Ensemble brought us their events and activations for over three.
How a project runs
Every job, big or small, goes through the same four stages. You'll know what we're making, when and who's involved before a camera rolls.
- Brief & discovery. A proper conversation about your audience, where the video will live and what success looks like. Then a written treatment so everyone agrees on the idea.
- Pre-production. Script or interview questions, locations, talent, crew, shot list and schedule. Permits and approvals are handled here too.
- Production. Lean, experienced crews shooting on RED Cinema cameras, lit and recorded properly. One day in Sydney or several cities across Australia and Asia Pacific.
- Post & delivery. Edit, colour grade, sound mix, captions and every export you need for web, social, broadcast or a conference screen. Revisions are built into the schedule.
Why clients choose us
Cinema-grade pictures without a bloated crew. We shoot on a RED Gemini 5K and RED Komodo 6K with cinema lenses, gimbals and our own lighting kit. The images hold up on a cinema screen, and the crew stays small enough to be quick and unobtrusive in an office or on a shop floor.
Twenty years of making it work on the day. Adam St John has directed, shot and edited for global brands and agencies for more than two decades. When a location falls through or the CEO has ten minutes instead of an hour, experience is what saves the shoot.
Sydney-based, Australia-wide. We're based in Sydney and regularly film in Melbourne and Brisbane, and across Asia Pacific.
Questions we're often asked
How much does a video cost?
Every project is quoted to its brief. The biggest factors are how many shoot days it needs, crew size, locations, talent and how much editing and animation is involved. Send us a short brief through the form below and we'll come back with a clear quote.
How long does a video take to make?
A simple interview or event video can be turned around within days of the shoot. Brand films and commercials usually take a few weeks from brief to delivery, most of it in planning. We'll give you a schedule with the quote.
Do you only work in Sydney?
No. We're based in Sydney and film all over Australia, and across Asia Pacific. Travel is simply included in the quote.
Can you work with our agency or in-house team?
Yes. Much of our work comes through agencies, and we're used to slotting into an existing creative process, from shooting someone else's script to running the whole production.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Brands, agencies and in-house marketing teams, from global names like Microsoft, Adobe and Foot Locker to Sydney startups and hospitality venues. Projects come to us direct from the brand or through a creative agency.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
We come back with a few questions about your audience, timing and where the video will be shown, then send a quote and a suggested approach. Nothing is booked until you've approved it.
