Films That Say What A Brand Stands For
Longer pieces made to be watched all the way through. One idea, directed properly and finished to the same standard as anything on television.
We make brand films for marketing teams and agency producers: one idea, directed properly, with a treatment, boards, a grade and a sound mix, finished to the same standard as anything on television.
Our brand films include The Island of Gems for Ceylon Jewelry Manufacturers and Higher Silence, a black and white spec film for The North Face.
How A Brand Film Gets Made
Development
We start with what the brand stands for and what the film has to do, then write one idea that carries it. If an agency already has the script, we start from theirs.
Treatment And Boards
The treatment sets the look, the tone and the references. Every shot is then boarded and agreed, so the film is decided before it is made.
Generation
Shots are made to the boards, take by take, with the same people, places and product held consistent from the first frame to the last.
Edit, Grade And Sound
The film is cut for pace, graded to one filmic finish and mixed with music and sound design, then cut down for every length and format it runs in.
What We Make
Questions We Get Asked
What is a brand film?
A brand film is a short film about what a company stands for rather than a single offer. It is usually 30 seconds to two minutes long and made to be watched all the way through.
Can you work from our agency's script or treatment?
Yes. We can develop the idea with you, or take an agency's script and treatment and produce it from boards to final mix.
Do you make spec films?
Yes. We develop spec films for brands we would like to work with, such as Higher Silence for The North Face and our Mercedes films.
How long should a brand film be?
Most of ours run between 30 seconds and two minutes. The Island of Gems runs 1 minute 50 seconds and Higher Silence runs 34 seconds. Shorter versions are cut from the main film for social and paid media.
Do we need to supply footage?
No. A brand film can be made entirely from references: photos, brand guidelines and anything that shows the look you want. If you have existing footage, we can work it into the edit.
