What we make

Music video production services

Every song asks for a different film. These are the music videos we make.

The artist and band, lit and filmed like cinema.

Narrative music videos

A story told alongside the song, with cast, locations and a director’s structure.

Animated and hybrid videos

Animation, visual effects or both, blended with live-action performance.

Devotional and folk music

Films for devotional, folk and regional music, made with respect for the tradition.

Lyric videos and visualisers

Fast, affordable films for streaming releases.

Behind-the-scenes and cut-downs

Teasers, vertical cuts and making-of films for the release campaign.

Music video production from one studio

Most music video production splits the work between a director, a camera crew, an editor, a colourist and a visual-effects house. Here one filmmaker plans, shoots, edits, grades and finishes the film, so the video stays true to the song.

Shoot it, animate it, or blend the two: the right choice depends on the song and the artist. You get an honest recommendation, clear options and a written quote.

On the record

Music on the record

  • Two song-films past one million views each
  • Seven music albums
  • Eight feature films directed, from 2008 to 2025
  • Close to 200 actors trained for camera, a deep pool for casting

Why one director

Director, editor and colourist in one

A music video lives or dies in the edit. Here the director who plans the shoot also cuts it to the beat, composites the effects and grades the final look.

That keeps the film true to the song and the schedule short.

How it runs

How a music video is made

  • Treatment: the idea, look and references, written for the song.
  • Pre-production: storyboard, casting, locations and schedule.
  • Shoot or animation: filmed, animated or both.
  • Post: edit to the beat, visual effects and colour grade.
  • Delivery: the master and every platform version.

Every stage has a named review gate. See the full process.

Questions

Questions about music video production

How much does it cost to make a music video?

It depends on shoot days, locations, cast, how much animation or visual effects it needs, and the versions you want. You receive clear options with a written quote.

Should my music video be shot or animated?

Shoot when the artist’s performance is the heart of it; animate when the song needs a world a camera cannot reach. Many of the best videos are hybrids, and we make all three.

How long does a music video take?

A few weeks from an approved treatment for most videos, longer for heavy animation. The delivery date is agreed in writing.

Do you work with independent artists?

Yes. Independent artists and labels both commission us; tell us your release date and we will plan backwards from it.

Can you also write or produce the song?

If you need it, yes. The studio writes and produces songs as well as music videos, so a song and its video can be made together.
