Overview
What we do for music videos.
We build music videos around the track — not the other way around. From the first treatment to the final master, our directors, DPs, and editors shape a visual world that matches the energy, tempo, and story of your record.
We've shot for major labels and independent artists in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and on the road. Cinema cameras, real lighting, real locations — every video is finished to broadcast-spec color and sound.
With home bases in LA and SF plus East Coast crew, we can pull a full unit on either coast without flying anyone in. Need a specialty rig — car-to-car, FPV drone, techno crane? It's already on the truck.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do you work with independent artists?+
Yes — our Essential tier is built for indie releases. Single shoot day, real cinema package, broadcast-quality finish.
Can you shoot in both LA and SF?+
Yes. We have full crews in both cities, so there are no travel days or per-diems for West Coast shoots.
Who owns the footage?+
You do. We hand off all raw footage, project files, and final masters at delivery.
How fast is turnaround?+
Standard delivery is 3–4 weeks from shoot to final master. Rush turnarounds available.
Can we add drone?+
Yes. FAA Part 107 pilots are on staff — we can add aerial as a half-day or full-day add-on.
