The same hands, first call to final frame
A video production and commercial photography agency. Independent since 2020, and small on purpose.
We're a production company. A damn good one, and bad at writing about ourselves in the third person.
We make video and photography for brands that care how their story looks when it reaches the world. Corporate one day, couture the next. We never picked a lane, because our clients don't live in one, and the range shows.
What clients notice first is how few people it takes. There's no account layer between you and the team. The person in the kickoff is the person on set, so the work comes back looking like what you asked for.

- What we makeVideo and photography for brands
The usual way. Our way.
Most productions pass through a lot of hands before they reach yours. Every handoff loses something. We keep the whole thing in-house, so nothing does.
- 01Many handshandoff
- 02Subcontractedhandoff
- 03New faceshandoff
- 04Lost detailshandoff
- 05You, re-explaininghandoff
Nothing gets lost in translation
What you tell us at the start reaches the final cut intact. No game of telephone between vendors who never spoke.
Decisions happen in the moment
When the day shifts, the person who can make the call is already standing there. Nothing waits on a chain of approvals.
The edit remembers why
The person cutting it was there when it was made. So the footage serves the goal, not just the timeline.
Three phases, one team
Three phases, no surprises, and the same people across all of them.
- 01
We start with what the work is for
Before anything gets booked, we get clear on the goal, the audience, and the deadline. We shape the idea and the plan around that, and you approve the direction up front. If we think the brief is pointed the wrong way, you hear it now, not after the fact.
Nothing gets scheduled against a maybe. - 02
The same team makes it, photo and video
We capture it in-house, on location, moving through your space without taking it over. Because the people making it are the people who planned it, the day tends to run short rather than long.
he plan protects your team's time. - 03
We cut it, finish it, and hand it back ready to use
Editing, color, and finishing happen with the same team, built for every place the work will live. Review runs in Frame.io with time-stamped notes, so feedback is specific instead of a long phone call.
Most clients are surprised how smooth it goes. We're not.
Different industries, one standard
A bank and a couture house want opposite things on screen, and the exact same thing from the team behind them. We're built for both ends on purpose.
How it holds up
They stopped explaining the rules. That's when everything got faster. Now we're not just covering their events, we're helping plan them.

The team you hire is the team that shows up
A small core team, plus the photographers, videographers, editors and colourists behind the productions. Not a roster we rent. A crew we keep, project after project.

And the ones between titles. The production assistants, the drone pilots, the second shooters, the friend with the van. You know who you are.
Small is the mechanism, not the limitation
Every year there's a version of this company that hires an account team, adds a floor, and takes work it doesn't want just to feed the overhead. We keep deciding against it.
Staying this size is what makes the no-handoff promise possible. A bigger company has to split the work, because it has too many people to keep them all in the room. We'd rather turn down the third project in a week than become the company that hands you to someone you've never met.
Senior hands only
Nobody's learning on your project. The people who show up are the ones we'd put on our own work.
We say no
If the deadline or the budget won't produce work we'd be proud to show, we tell you before the invoice, not after.
Clients come back
The work tends to bring people back. We'd rather earn the next project than go chasing a new logo.
