Consumer brands

Made for how consumer brands teams work.

Product brands live and die on how they show up. We make product shoots, launches, social-first content and ongoing content series, shot to your brand so it sits right next to the rest of your marketing.

We film for Coles, Bunnings, Penfolds, Land Rover and Sennheiser. Brand films, product stories, event content and news packages that ran on national television.

Product on camera, properly lit.

Product video lives or dies on the detail: the pour, the texture, the way light sits on the packaging.

That is a controlled lighting job, not a run and gun one. We shoot the hero angles, the close detail and the packaging in a way that holds up on a shelf-sized phone screen as well as a big one. If the shoot needs a stylist or a home economist, we will say so and build it into the quote. Better that than hoping on the day.

We can shoot stills alongside the video from the same set up, which is usually cheaper than booking the product and the space twice.

One shoot, a campaign's worth of assets.

Retail and social both want their own sizes, and neither waits.

So we plan the day around the whole list: hero film, short cutdowns, vertical for the feed, and stills if you need them. Framing accounts for every crop on the day, so nothing important is lost when the same footage becomes a square or a vertical.

Send us your brand guidelines and any existing campaign work before we start. Matching what is already out there costs nothing at the planning stage and a lot at the edit.

One activation, a package a news desk will run.

A launch or an activation is usually filmed for the brand channels and nothing else. That leaves the biggest audience on the table.

A video news release is the same day of filming, cut to what a news desk actually needs. Clean vision without branding baked over it, a spokesperson grab that stands on its own, and a package a producer can drop into a bulletin without recutting it. Our Bunnings Scarehouse package was picked up and ran on 7NEWS.

We produce it and we media train your spokesperson so they hold up in an interview. Getting it in front of a network is your PR team's job, and we will not pretend otherwise or promise airtime nobody can promise.

It costs very little on top of a shoot you were doing anyway, and it is the only content on the list that can reach a national audience without a media buy.

What we make

The video consumer brands teams ask us for.

One team, end to end. Each of these has its own page if you want the detail.

How it runs

How a consumer brand job runs.

One day of filming, planned to feed every channel you publish in.

  1. 01

    The brief

    The product, the campaign, the channels and the date it has to be live. Fixed price back, usually inside a business day.

  2. 02

    The plan

    We map the shot list around the full set of outputs: the hero film, the product cuts, the social edits, and a news package if the story carries one.

  3. 03

    The day

    Filmed on location, in store or at the activation, without the crew becoming part of the event. Vertical framed on the day rather than cropped later.

  4. 04

    The edit

    Overnight when a launch needs it, ten business days as standard. Delivered in every size, captions burned in for the feed.

Where we film

Consumer brands video across Sydney.

We film in stores, venues, studios and on location across Sydney, and travel interstate for a national campaign or a launch.

  • Sydney CBD
  • Inner West
  • Eastern Suburbs
  • Western Sydney
  • Northern Beaches
  • Australia wide

The honest comparison

Why not a social content agency.

Most crews leave an activation with social cuts. A news desk needs something different, and it has to be filmed that way on the day.

I’m really relaxed. Even at events I’m not at, I’m not worried at all. It’s set and forget.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Can you shoot stills at the same time?

Yes, and it usually makes sense. The product, the set and the lighting are already there, so adding stills is far cheaper than a second booking. We will quote it as its own line so you can see what it costs.

Do you do close-up product and packaging shots?

Yes. Close detail is a lighting job more than a camera one. We shoot the hero angles, the texture and the packaging so they hold up at phone size as well as full screen.

Can you deliver the sizes our retailers ask for?

Yes. Tell us the specs at the start and we will frame for them on the day. That way the widescreen cut and the vertical one are both composed properly, instead of one being a crop of the other.

Will it match our brand guidelines?

Yes. Send the guidelines and a few examples of campaign work you like before the shoot. We match type, colour and pacing so the new work sits with the old rather than against it.

Can you cut a version for television as well as social?

Yes. A broadcast package is cut to what a news desk needs, which is not what a brand channel needs, so we make both from the same day. We produce it and media train your spokesperson. Placing it with a network is your PR team's call.

How fast can we have social cuts after an event?

Same night or next morning is achievable when it matters, and we have cut a red carpet overnight so it was live the next day. Tell us at briefing and we will crew and schedule the edit for it.

Can you film in a supermarket or a retail store?

Yes. We work with a small crew and quiet kit so trading is not affected, and we handle the site requirements the retailer sets. Give us the store contact early so access is agreed before the day.

Do you shoot product and packaging as well as people?

Yes, and running both in one day is usually better value than splitting them. Product and packaging need different lighting to interviews, so we plan the order of the day around it rather than switching back and forth.
