Commercial Videographer Santa Monica, CA

We are obsessive storytellers with a compulsion to make the best commercial video content. We simply cannot help ourselves. But we can help you because we love nothing more than creating a story for your brand using our endless roster of the best Santa Monica commercial videographers. We'll help your team get the video you need by so with manic attention to detail, an insatiable appetite for originality, and above all relentless devotion to your audience.

A good commercial story doesn't start with a 40-page-deck, nor does it start with a banner ad campaign, mega billboards, or social influencers. A good story starts with one word.

One universal truth. Family. Time. Grit.

What word defines your company? What defines Broken Dove?

We make the best commercial video.

What is your brand culture and how can we help show that to the world through commercials video and photo content? What defines your company's digital marketing and PR efforts? What sums up everything that your brand stands for? What is your proof of relevance in this world, why should we care about your company? What makes you deserve your spot in the market? If your brand is seeking to elevate by adding commercial video and photo then you've probably answered a lot of these questions so we can get to the good part of telling your team's story by using the best equipment and hiring the best teams to enact your vision.

From ASC Award-winning cinematographers to commercial videographers we pride ourselves on filming in* Netflix-approved specs by using approved cameras and industry-standard post-production workflows. If you're looking for commercial videography, but you're concerned about spending too much, perhaps a commercial video campaign is something your team would be interested in. Commercial quality video and audio recording on a budget involve finding a resourceful group of creative directors, videographers, and photographers. You're in luck we work with the most resourceful filmmakers in show business.

Because we float between a creative agency and a full-fledged video production company, Broken Dove, is one of the few decoupled production companies that can scale any project from large to small. We collaborate with your in-house marketing team to ensure the commercial video you dreamed of comes to life. We're not just creatives, we can speak to technical specs so you can focus on copywriting and keeping your brand identity strong.

We film on RED, Alexa, Sony, Panavision, and Sony cameras. We've shot broadcast commercials on vintage lenses too. When shooting documentaries or ultra-low-budget projects sometimes we capture video on DSLRS in 4K with the most dynamic range at the highest bit-rate possible to make sure our videos are commercial quality so you can focus on messaging.

We filmed commercials with many professional and Olympic athletes like paralympic swimmer Jamal Hill Bronze Medalist boxer Tony Jeffries, and Beach Volleyball player Tri Bourne. With Sanabul, Broken Dove produced multiple spots featuring UFC Fighters like Max Holloway, Sean O'Malley, Gilbert Burns, and Guilherme "Bomba" Vasonsuelos. We work with the best equipment and the best talent. The talent in front of the lens and behind it gives us the freedom to focus on more than just specs and gear.
