Pre-production ensures the perfect shoot.
There’s a lot that goes into making a shoot run smoothly, and it all starts with smart pre-production services to ensure the script and storyboard can become the polished and beautiful video that best tells your brand story. Our team works to bring you the best cast options without overwhelming you. They find ideal locations that perfectly fit for filming your spot—whether it’s a beautiful home, a local airport runway, or the studio with the right after-effect green-screen capabilities. Once we have location, cast, and crew locked down, the schedule is built out and we’re good to roll cameras.
Filming & animation brings your brand story to life.
Shoot days are long and intense, but it’s so worth it to see how your script is coming to life. Grips, gaffers, and directors of photography are there hours before the shoot begins to ensure every scene is ideally lit and ready for when talent arrives. If we’re doing any animations in post, every shot takes that into account to be sure it works great with the live action. And we can set up video watch rooms on location or remotely, so you can see exactly what we’re filming directly from the camera that’s capturing it all—and discuss any questions you might have about any shot in real time.
Fully animated spots can be a great approach for telling a brand story while saving significant budget, and we’ve done many of them. Whether it’s hard-hitting DR that see-says with the voiceover to get a customer to pick up the phone and call, or an elegant brand animation where we control “camera” moves through custom-built 3D environments, we can create it all.
Talented editing teams that really tie it all together.
Our talented group of in-house editors really do make the sweetest cuts. They’ll first compose a rough cut, which lets you see how your story will flow. Then they add any visual effects to help drive your messaging home, pair the right music that we license for your spot (or entire campaign), work with the right voiceover artist to tell your story best, and add any sound effects to bring it all to life. Like Lebowski’s rug, they really do tie it all together.
Radio & podcast production that’s second to none.
Audio is having a moment. There are still millions of ears tuned in on radio stations every year, and with podcasts, the audiences you can target with an audio spot has only grown. We can help script an engaging spot, hire ear-catching voiceover talent (or leverage on-air talent themselves), license the music that makes it fun, and edit it all perfectly to time—including any legal language you might need to add.
