How a project runs
From first spark to final grade.
Six clear stages, one producer who answers the phone, and a fixed budget you approve before anything is booked.
- Discover
A 20-minute call about your goal, audience, timeline and budget. You get honest advice even if we're not the right fit.
- Develop
We write the treatment or script, build references and send a fixed-bid budget you can approve line by line.
- Prepare
Casting, locations, permits, crew and a production book with every detail of the shoot day.
- Shoot
A calm, efficient set run by people who respect your time — with live monitoring for you on set or remotely.
- Finish
Editing, color grading, sound design and graphics, with two clear review rounds.
- Deliver
Masters, cutdowns, captions and formats for every platform, plus an archive of your footage.
Based in Burbank
Ten minutes from the studios. On set anywhere.
We work out of Burbank, in the middle of the Media District, and shoot across Los Angeles every week — on stages, on location and on the street, with permits sorted.

Questions
Before you call.
Straight answers to what people ask us most. Anything else — call 747-324-9280.
How much does a video production cost?
It depends on crew, cast, locations and shoot days. Social content days start around $2,500, music videos around $3,500 and commercials around $8,000. After a 20-minute call we send a fixed-bid budget you can approve line by line.
Where do you shoot?
We're based in Burbank and shoot across Los Angeles and Southern California every week — Glendale, Pasadena, Hollywood, the Valley and beyond. We travel anywhere for the right project.
Do you provide the crew and equipment?
Yes. We bring the full crew and the cinema camera, lighting, grip and sound package each project needs, and scale it up or down to fit the budget.
Can you handle permits and insurance?
Yes. We handle FilmLA permits, location agreements, certificates of insurance and drone authorizations.
How quickly can you turn a project around?
Most projects go from first call to delivery in three to six weeks. Rush schedules are possible when we plan them together.
Do you work with agencies and in-house teams?
Often. We can be your full production company, a production-services partner for your agency, or your post-production team.
