Brand Video Production Sydney

When your brand sounds like everyone else's, we find the one thing only you can say and film that.

Content Department is a Sydney studio that plans, shoots and edits brand films. The films worth making say one true thing and commit to it. We work out what that thing is before anyone picks up a camera, then shoot it properly.

The work

Three brands, three arguments.

Each of these had to land one idea. The film is the argument, not the decoration.

A long-form film for a clifftop course on the Sydney coast. The place makes the argument.

Why us

Most brand films fail at the brief, not the shoot.

A beautiful film about nothing is still about nothing. The expensive mistake is spending the budget before anyone has decided what the film is arguing.

We start with the positioning. What does the audience believe now, what should they believe after, and what single idea moves them. Then we shoot that, with real craft, in a room we control.

  • We will push back on a brief that has no argument in it
  • Our own studio and lighting, so a shoot day is not a separate line item
  • Live action and animation under one roof, so the format follows the idea
  • Built in Australia, for brands selling to Australians
How it runs

Four steps, and you know where you are in all of them.

The first two are where the film is actually won.

01

Brief

What it is for, who it is for, and when it has to be live. We come back with a direction and a fixed price, not a range.

02

Script & storyboard

Two or three directions, then boards for the one you pick. Nothing gets shot until you have signed off on paper.

03

Production

Shoot in our studio or on location. You are welcome on set either way.

04

Edit, grade, deliver

Hero cut first, then every cutdown and aspect you need. Two rounds of revisions built in.

What it costs

Priced by what you get, not by the hour.

Every tier names what you walk away with. The number comes from a scoping call.

01

One sharp piece. Enough to say the thing and stop.

  • Positioning session
  • Script and storyboard
  • One shoot day
  • Hero cut plus social crops

Before you brief us

Questions we get asked.

We already have brand guidelines. Do you follow them?

Yes, and we would rather you had them. If they stop at logo and colour, we will build the motion and film language on top and hand it over.

How do you decide what the film should say?

A positioning session before any script. We look at what your audience currently believes, what your competitors are all saying, and where the gap is. The film goes in the gap.

Can you do it without talent on camera?

Often better. When the product or the place carries the story, a presenter can get in the way. We will tell you which one your idea needs.

Know what you want to say? Or need help working it out?

Both are a good place to start. Tell us the situation and we will come back with a direction and a fixed price.
