Nico and his team were amazing. They did an amazing job of photographing all our conference events and results were amazing. We also received a great sizzle reel. Additionally they were great to work with - very collaborative.

Common questions

What does brand video production include?

Concept, script, direction, the shoot, and the edit, owned by one person. Music, colour grade, and sound mix are handled through final delivery. The same eye that directs the stills directs the motion, so the brand reads the same in both.

Can one shoot produce both horizontal and vertical cuts?

Yes, when it is planned from the start. Framing, sets, and blocking are built so the film survives both formats without cropping the story away. Reels and paid formats come from the same day, not a second shoot.

Can you shoot stills and video on the same production?

Yes. One director across both, one crew, one look. The film cuts to the same idea the stills argue, which is what keeps a campaign coherent across placements.

How far in advance should a campaign shoot be booked?

Two to four weeks covers most campaigns, with room for concept, casting, wardrobe, and locations. Planning before the shoot is what makes fast delivery possible after it. When a launch date is fixed, the plan is built backward from that date.
