MoreCorporate Video
Your brand will love you
There’s corporate video and there’s corporate video. No matter the brief, we always inject a serious dose of beauty and love into whatever we do. We also believe that the fundamental rule applies – unless you’re utilising the power of narrative (storytelling), the game’s over. Pretty pictures alone don’t cut it. But a branded film, carefully crafted to work at a deep narrative level, produced with some of Adelaide’s best, award-winning crew just might.
World Class Post-Production
We specialise in post-production, through offline and online editing, motion graphics and our high-end colour grading specialisation. Whether you’re finishing a short film or music video, or need a suite of commercials cut, graded and prepped for broadcast, or you want to work with us to assemble and offline your feature film or TV Series, we’ve done it all and have the software, hardware, skills and expertise. Our in-house editor and colourist Sam has been specialising in this kinda stuff for almost a decade now and has the story instincts, technical wizardry and patience needed to see any project come to life in the edit.

Content Strategy
Get the most out of video
These days shooting a video at random, haphazard occasions doesn’t always produce the best long term result or ROI. More and more we’re working with brands to develop a content strategy outlining where and when to best invest in production and how to measure results and pivot according to market response. It can help to think about touchpoints, platforms, user generated content, repurposing existing content, etc. We can help navigate some of the jargon.
Animation Production
Explanimate Yourself
Animation can be an awesome way to concisely and elegantly convey an idea or message. Whether you’re interested in a stand-alone animation or to enhance a live action video with animated elements, we’ve got the tools, time, skills and eagle-eye to bring it to life.
Social Media Video
Short is Sweet
Snappy 30 and 15 second videos designed for the phone and for the short attention span. You know you want one. It’s where your audience lives. Don’t worry, we’ve made more than a few. We’ve got you covered.
TV Commercials
Be seen on TV
Even though the trend is definitely moving toward online video, and has been for some time now, we do love shooting a good commercial. Generally there’s more scope for a considered narrative approach, which, if we’re honest, is where our strength lies. Come on your own, or bring your agency. Let’s make something beautiful!

Pricing Guide
Budgeting a video is (or at least was) a bit like asking ‘how long is a piece of string’? And while it’s true that there are a range of variables that can influence how much a video costs to produce, we feel that the world has moved on and customers expect and deserve a degree of upfront transparency. So while this is only a guide the prices and examples below should serve to give a sense of what can be achieved on what kind of budget.
