Films that make a brand feel as good as it is.

What it is

Brand Films & TVCs

A brand film shows what a brand is like from the inside: the people, the place and the standard it keeps. A TVC has thirty or sixty seconds to say it.

We start with the story you need to tell, write a treatment you can sign off, then shoot and grade it so the finished film looks as considered as your brand.

Step by step

How we do it

  1. 01

    Brief & Story

    We learn what the film must do and who it is for. Then we find the one story worth telling.

    You get: Creative brief and story idea

  2. 02

    Treatment & Storyboard

    A written treatment sets the tone, look and structure. Key frames are boarded so you can see the film before we shoot.

    You get: Treatment and storyboard

  3. 03

    Shoot Plan

    Locations, cast, crew and schedule are locked. Every shot on the board has a time slot.

    You get: Shot list and call sheet

  4. 04

    Shoot

    A cinematic shoot with lighting and sound built for the brand. We capture extra material for cut-downs.

    You get: Rushes and stills

  5. 05

    Edit & Grade

    We cut, grade and mix the film. You review it at two agreed points before we lock.

    You get: Locked master film

  6. 06

    Versions

    30s and 60s TV edits, web versions and social cut-downs. Every version ships in the right format.

    You get: TV, web and social versions
