FAQ

01 What type of videos do you create?

Commercials and brand films, music videos, live shows, and film and TV. We also shoot the campaign stills.

02 Can you produce an agency’s existing creative?

Yes. We can take the whole job, or come in as production only on creative that is already approved. Budget, crew, schedule and delivery, run to your agency’s plan.

03 Do you take on ongoing content, not just one-off shoots?

Yes. For brands with more than one launch on the calendar we set up one production process and a consistent crew, then run each shoot to it. Reel Big Studios produced Nike Selected By as a bi-weekly series for two years.

04 Where do you shoot?

Our hub is in Orange County and Los Angeles. Most of our jobs are in Los Angeles, New York and Miami, and we travel worldwide for the right project.

05 How much does a video production cost?

It depends on the crew, the shoot days, the locations and how many deliverables you need. Tell us your range on the contact form and we will scope the job to fit it, so the first reply is useful.

06 We need content but don’t know what will work. Where do we start?

Start with a short call about who you want to reach and where. We can plan a smaller first shoot that makes video and photos for several channels, see what works, and build from there.

07 Can you help with video strategy and content planning?

Yes. We plan the idea, the shots, and what the cut needs to do before the cameras roll.

08 Do you provide scriptwriting and storyboarding?

Yes. We write the script and board the shots when the job needs it, then we shoot it.

09 Do you work with retail brands?

Yes. Nike, Gatorade, Coca-Cola, Casetify, Dr. Martens, and Brooks.
