Brand films, commercials & social content

Nine pieces, nine formats, one studio.

What we make

Video production services & sonic branding

Twelve things we make. Three studios’ worth of scope, one team, one invoice.

How it gets made

Fast is a staffing decision, not a shortcut.

Most studios are slow because the work passes through six people who have never met. Here it doesn't. One team scopes it, shoots it, cuts it, scores it, and delivers it — which is why a campaign that takes a traditional shop a quarter takes us days, and why nothing gets lost in the handoff.

The material is real. We shoot photography and video, light it, and run it through a full Adobe post and VFX pipeline, and some of it we build with artificial intelligence. What comes out is graded, mixed, and mastered to broadcast spec by people who have spent twenty years doing exactly that. You get finished files in the formats you actually need — not a proxy and a promise.

That's also why the second service line exists. The studio that cuts your commercial video writes the sonic branding under it, so the spot and the sound were built to the same brief on the same day. Most brands buy those from two vendors and spend a month getting them to agree.

Released and running

What clients say after it ships

"The video is FANTASTIC. People are loving it. Bob Mehr loved it — he was in our studio yesterday, listened to the whole record, and watched the video. He's going to do a review. This is huge for us. By the way, the audio kicks ass — I don't think we'll need to swap it out when the master comes back."

"Andrew rebuilt our site from the ground up — new brand, new look, new copy. It finally feels like us: classic Cape Cod, no gimmicks. The whole thing moved fast, and the result looks like it cost a lot more than it did."
