How we approach brand commercials
A commercial lives or dies in the first three seconds. We start every brand spot with the hook, then build the shoot around it: the location, the light, the performance and the edit rhythm all serve that opening frame.
We produce 15, 30 and 60-second spots for web, social, streaming and connected TV, plus the cut-downs and stills you need to run a campaign without going back to set.
Ideal for
- Product launches
- Restaurants & hospitality
- Consumer brands
- Streaming & CTV ads

Offline edit, colour grade, licensed music, sound design and a final mix to platform loudness.
- 05
Campaign cut-downs
16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 versions, captions and six-second bumpers from the same footage.
“They found a story in our roastery that we walk past every day. The launch film paid for itself in the first month of wholesale enquiries, and the shoot day was genuinely fun.”
Brand Commercials questions
Can you write the concept for us?
Yes. Most clients come with a goal and a budget, not a script. We send creative routes within a week of the first call.
Do you handle permits?
We arrange FilmLA permits and location agreements when a shoot needs them, and build the cost into the quote up front.
Who owns the footage?
You receive a perpetual licence to use the finished spot and its cut-downs. Raw footage can be delivered on request.
