Brand Film and Video Shoot Days in Los Angeles.

CRTE Studio is where the filming happens. You book a crewed shoot day at our Los Angeles studio or on location, and we direct, light, film and edit brand films, product video and vertical social cutdowns from that session.

Who shoots it

Video & Brand Films days are run by the same photographer start to finish — the person who lights the set is the person who delivers the retouch.

What's included.

From a single-day product film to a multi-day brand campaign, we handle direction, crew, gear, and post. Every project ships with the platform cutdowns you actually need — hero, mid, 9:16, 1:1, 6-second bumper.

What a brand film ships as.

A brand film is a production, not a shoot: script, board, crew, schedule, post. The number that matters to you is finished runtime, and the number that matters to us is how many setups we can light before the location goes dark.

  • One hero film of 90 to 180 seconds, mastered in 4K ProRes with 1080p H.264 web and social versions.
  • Four to six cutdowns at 60, 30, 15 and 6 seconds, delivered in 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 so a media plan is fully covered.
  • Licensed music with a written sync licence, plus a version of the master with music stems removed.
  • Colour grade on every frame, and a broadcast-safe pass on any cut destined for linear or connected television.
  • Sound design and a dialogue mix at minus 16 LUFS for the web and minus 24 LUFS for broadcast delivery.
  • Twenty to 40 production stills captured on set, delivered as retouched JPEG alongside the film files.
  • Burned-in and separate SRT subtitles in English, with additional languages quoted per minute.

A production day from crew call.

  1. 6:30 AM
    Crew call

    Camera, grip, sound and art arrive together. The first setup is lit while talent goes into hair and makeup, which is the only hour of the day with any slack in it.

  2. 8:00 AM
    First setup

    We shoot the scene the film cannot exist without, first. If the day loses time later, it loses it from coverage rather than from the story.

  3. 1:00 PM
    Company move

    One location change per day maximum, budgeted at ninety minutes including load-out, travel and relight. Two moves in a day is how a schedule fails.

  4. 7:00 PM
    Wrap

    Card offload and a checksum-verified backup to two drives happens on set, and the director's notes are logged against timecode before anyone leaves.

  5. Week 3–5
    Delivery window

    A rough cut arrives within eight business days, then two revision rounds, grade, mix and final masters land three to five weeks after the shoot.

Locking the script and the schedule.

Lock the script before the crew is booked. Every rewrite after the call sheet goes out is paid for twice, once in production time and again in post, and it is the most common reason a film misses its launch date.

  • An approved script or, at minimum, the single sentence the film has to leave a viewer with.
  • Named on-camera participants confirmed in writing, with their availability blocked for the full day.
  • Location access confirmed in writing, including load-in times, parking and any building insurance certificate.
  • Brand assets in vector form for titles and end cards, plus the exact legal line that must appear.
  • A decision-maker reachable during post — a rough cut with no feedback for a week costs a week.
  • Any interview questions you want asked, sent 48 hours ahead so participants are not ambushed.

Three brand films, runtime and crew.

Founder story, one day

Five-person crew, two locations, nine setups: a 2 minute 20 second hero film, four cutdowns, 34 production stills and subtitles, delivered in four weeks.

Manufacturing film, two days

Factory floor plus interviews across two days: a 3 minute film, six social cutdowns in three aspect ratios and eighteen b-roll clips licensed for reuse.

Product launch spot

One studio day, tabletop motion control: a 30 second spot, three 6 second bumpers and a broadcast-safe master mixed at minus 24 LUFS.

Film delivery and broadcast rights.

A rough cut is with you eight business days after the shoot, and final masters follow three to five weeks after that depending on how quickly two revision rounds close. Motion graphics, animated titles or an original score extend the schedule by one to two weeks and are quoted separately. When a launch date is immovable we build the post schedule backwards from it at contract stage and name the dates your feedback is due.

You own the finished film outright and may run it in any medium, in perpetuity, worldwide. Two components carry their own terms: licensed music is cleared for the specific uses named in the sync licence, and on-camera talent is bound by their release, which we default to three years across digital and broadcast in North America. Project files, raw footage and stems are archived for twelve months and released on request at no cost.
