From concept to delivery
Pre-production. Concept development, scriptwriting, storyboards, casting, location sourcing and production planning, whether we are building an idea from scratch or executing an agency-led creative.
Production. Director- and DP-led shoots with lean, mobile crews, in a Manhattan studio, on location around New York, or anywhere the story takes us.
Post-production. Editing, color, sound design and revisions, delivered in the formats your campaign needs.
A commercial director and DP in NYC
Cooper Naitove directs and shoots, so one creative owns both the story and the image. That keeps productions lean and the look consistent from the first frame to the final cut.
