Development
The idea, the brief and what the film has to do for the brand.
Satellite Studios is a film studio in Melbourne. We develop, direct and finish brand films and commercials for companies and their agencies, in Australia and overseas.
How our films were made, from the first frame to the final cut.
Flipside's own line is about flipping the ordinary, so the film starts on the most ordinary moment we could think of: a tradie on a night shift at a quiet servo.
Go Again is a concept film for Cunnies Energy, made on our own initiative and not commissioned by Cunnies.
This Is is a concept commercial for Dallo, the platform Kyle Hunt founded for people starting businesses in regulated industries, made on our own initiative and not commissioned by Dallo.
Just About Everything is a concept film for Cavalo Prestige, made on our own initiative and not commissioned by Cavalo.
The film follows everything that happens under one roof, from the mine to the export crate.
This block of units on Mount Peter Road in Edmonton, south of Cairns, was still being built when we made its film.
Every Film Goes Through The Same Eight Stages
It is how a production company runs a job, with generation where the shoot would be.

The idea, the brief and what the film has to do for the brand.

The look, the tone and the references, written and shown before anything is made.

Every shot framed and agreed, so the film is decided on paper first.

Shots made to the boards, take by take, with the same people and product in every frame.

Cut for pace and story, then recut for each format.

One filmic finish across the whole film, with real contrast and fine grain.

Music, sound design and the final mix.

Titles, credits and delivery to the client's specs.
Tell us what it is for and when it needs to be out, and we will come back with how we would make it.
