About Our Film Production Services
We shoot films and product sequences for commercials and online advertising campaigns. Our expertise is in close-up work and product beauty. We shoot daily with an incredible team of in-house talent and specialist stylists from across the advertising and film industries.
We offer full service packages that can fulfil a range of production requirements, from pure product beauty and slow-motion to macro photography. We can shoot single shots to entire films and commercials, all from our studios in London's bustling Covent Garden.
What do we do?
Our specialism is shooting product-based content for TV commercials and internet campaigns, working alongside advertising agencies and production companies as well as working directly with corporate clients.
We shoot a wide variety of products at Packshot Factory, including specialist food and drink sequences and electronic products including computers, tablets, mobile phones, and home appliances.
Another interesting area we cover is 'in-camera' effects such as splashes, powder explosions and liquid pours; we have even been known to blow up the occasional Death Star! A little more down-to-earth, we film more everyday items like watches and jewellery, and cosmetics, as well as 'how to' films and a number of end frames.
Crew & Experience
As filmmakers we understand the importance of close teamwork; our in-house crew shoot product beauty for a living. We are incredibly knowledgeable of our craft and passionate about all aspects of the production process, with a genuine interest in our clients’ needs.
When we hire stylists and specialist technicians, we choose experts and companies at the top of their game and this is what we believe makes our work stand out.
Filming products is not always straightforward but when you choose Packshot Factory you are not only buying a competitive deal on crew, studio hire, and equipment. Most importantly, you are buying our experience; 30 years of photographing and filming products on a daily basis is a significant wealth to draw upon.
