Services & Pricing

Know what you're getting,
and what it costs.

Three ways to work with us, each scoped to a different job. Every package below lists exactly what's delivered, how long it takes, and where the price starts. No hourly billing, no surprises at invoice.

What we make

Three packages, priced to start.

Each one is a starting point. The final number depends on shoot days, crew and the add-ons you build in, and you'll have all of it in writing before anything is booked.

The signature capability

Underwater,
without a second vendor.

Most production companies stop at the water's edge and subcontract everything below it. We don't. The same team that shoots your brand film on land shoots it underwater, which means one brief, one look, one invoice.

Add the underwater unit to any package above, or brief us on a project that lives entirely below the surface.

How we work

A clear process, every time.

Four stages, and you sign off before each one moves forward.

01

Discovery

We start with the business goal, the audience and the number the video has to move.

02

Pre-production

Concept, script, shot list and logistics locked. You approve before anyone rolls.

03

Production

A calm, experienced crew on set, on land or underwater, capturing what the edit needs.

04

Post & Delivery

Edit, sound, colour and every channel version, delivered on schedule.

Before you ask

The questions we get most.

What does the starting price actually cover?

Crew, equipment, one production day and the post-production listed under each package. Travel outside greater Sydney, additional shoot days, talent fees and location permits are quoted separately and always shown as line items.

Who owns the finished video?

You do. Full commercial usage rights transfer to you on final payment, in perpetuity, across every channel. We ask only to show the work in our own portfolio, and we'll hold off if a project is under embargo.

How many rounds of revisions are included?

Two on brand and event work. Because you sign off on the script and shot list before the shoot, most projects land inside one. Further rounds are billed at an hourly rate agreed up front.

Do you travel outside Sydney?

Regularly, across Australia and internationally. Travel, accommodation and per-diems are quoted as line items so you can see exactly what the location is costing you.

How fast can you turn something around?

For activations and influencer events, social cutdowns land inside 48 hours so the content goes live while the moment is still current, and we'll go same-day when a campaign calls for it. Brand films run three to four weeks, because the strategy and scripting stages are where the results come from.

Can you shoot underwater for any project?

Yes. The underwater unit is an add-on to any package, and the same crew handles both environments. It's the capability most production companies subcontract, and the reason clients with a story below the surface come to us.
