Thirty
seconds
that pay

We write, shoot and cut commercials that have a job to do. One crew from the first idea to the final master.

A spot is not a showreel. It runs against a media buy, a launch date or a sales target. We start with that number, then work back to the picture. Concept to conclusion, under one roof.

What we are usually hired for

Four briefs cover most of the commercial work that comes through the door. Yours probably sits close to one of them.

  1. Launch a product

    A new thing lands and nobody knows it exists yet. The spot shows what it does in the first four seconds. Everything after that earns the click.

  2. Carry a paid campaign

    Media money is already booked. The creative has to hold up across pre-roll, paid social and a broadcast slot without three separate shoots.

  3. Reset how a brand looks

    The logo changed, or the market did. One film sets the new tone, and the website and the sales deck follow it.

  4. Sell a service you cannot photograph

    Insurance, software, freight. We build the idea out of people and place instead, because there is no product to put on a table.

Four cuts from one shoot

We plan the edit before the shoot, so the short versions are framed on the day. Every length below comes out of the same footage and the same grade.

  • 6s

    Bumper

    One idea, no dialogue. Cut from the hero grade, not shot apart.

  • 15s

    Paid social

    Vertical and square masters. Legible with the sound off.

  • 30s

    Broadcast

    The standard slot. Delivered to the station spec you send us.

  • 60s

    Brand film

    Room for a story beat. Lives on the homepage and in the pitch.

How a spot gets made

Four stages, always in this order. The names below are the same ones you will see on the schedule and the invoice.

  1. Concept

    We read your market first, then write. You see a script and a rough board before a camera is booked. Changes are cheap at this stage, so we make them here.

  2. Scope and schedule

    Shoot days, crew, locations and edit rounds get a line and a number each. Cut a line and watch the price move. Nothing is bundled out of sight.

    How we scope a budget
  3. Shoot

    Our own camera, lighting and sound crew on the day. Clean audio is fixed on set, never in the edit. You get a call sheet, not a surprise.

    Meet the crew
  4. Post and delivery

    Offline cut, grade, mix and titles. Two rounds of notes are built into the plan. Then every master lands in one folder, named for where it runs.

Asked before every booking

  • How long does a commercial take?

    Most spots run four to six weeks from first call to final master. A single-location shoot can move faster. Casting, permits or a build add time, and we say so before you sign.

  • What does it cost?

    The number comes from the plan, not a rate card. Shoot days and crew size move it most. Tell us the ceiling and we shape the idea to fit it, or we tell you plainly that it will not.

  • Do we need a separate shoot for social?

    No. We frame for the vertical crop on the day and cut the short versions from the same footage. One shoot, every aspect ratio you need.

  • Who owns the footage?

    You do. Masters, project files and the raw rushes are handed over at the end. Music and stock licences are listed with their terms so nothing expires quietly.

Tell us the date

Bring the launch, the media buy or the deadline you are working to. We will come back with an idea, a shoot plan and a real number. If a smaller film does the job better, we will say that instead.
