ions
filmed live sessions for artists, labels and brands. shot, recorded, mixed, delivered. full bands welcome.
press play.
got a release coming up?
you drop a song. then what?
you post it once. then it goes quiet.
one session: a live video and a stack of clips.
and proof you can really play it.
labels and management
a live asset for a priority release, without your team running a shoot.
brands that want real musicians in their content
cut for campaigns and socials.
artists with a release coming up
a filmed performance that extends the life of the single, so it doesn't die too soon.
you just play, we handle the rest.
two ways to do it. we come to you, anywhere around LA, and set everything up there. or you come to our studio in DTLA. either way the lights, the sound and the cameras are ready before you walk in.
get in touch
text, email or book a call. tell us the songs, who's playing, and where you want to do it.
pick the spot
our studio in DTLA, or your rehearsal room, a venue, a house, wherever makes sense around LA.
play
we're set up before you get there: the room is lit and the sony cameras are ready. we check sound with you, you play your songs, you pack up and leave.
get your video
every voice and instrument gets its own track and we mix it ourselves, then we cut between every angle, color the video, and send you files ready for YouTube and your socials.
ready when you are.
book a calla number, fast.
indie artists get a ballpark range. labels and brands answer two questions, then go straight to contact.
pick a date.
tell us about the release.
← back to dateswhat we actually do.
what do you actually do?
we make live session videos. you play your songs live in one room, we record the sound and shoot it multicam, then we mix it, edit it, color it and hand you finished videos. it's not a music video: no storyline, no actors, no miming to the studio track. it's you playing the song, live, the way it actually goes. that's the main thing we do, whether it's one song or a full set, solo or a full band, at our studio or at your place.
where does it happen?
two options. one: you come to our studio in DTLA. it's a recording studio, so the sound side is already sorted, and we light the room for your session. two: we come to you, anywhere around LA. your rehearsal space, a venue, a house, a room that fits the songs. we bring the cameras, the lights and the recording gear and set it all up there.
what happens on the day?
we get there early and set everything up: lights, cameras, mics. you arrive, we check sound with you so everyone can hear themselves, and then you play. we'll run it again if it doesn't feel right. when you're happy, you pack up your instruments and go home. at no point do you have to think about levels, angles or lighting. that's our job.
what do we get at the end?
finished videos of your songs, cut between the angles, with picture and sound from the same performance. files come ready for YouTube. clips for socials can be part of it too. every project is different, so tell us what you need and we'll build it in.
do you work with full bands?
yes. the name says acoustic, but it's just the name. solo with a guitar, a duo, a full band with drums and amps, all good. a bigger band means more mics and more setup. we got it. when you reach out, tell us who's playing what so we can plan for it.
what changes if you come to us?
for you, not much. we bring and set up everything, same as at the studio. what we need from you: the address, a few photos of the space if you can, and a heads up on anything we should know, like how big the room is, where the outlets are, or if there's a loud street outside. we'll also need to get in a bit before you play so we can set up.
