Recent & selected production.

Production support, logistics, transportation and production design work on commercial, editorial and branded photo shoots in Los Angeles. Every job below was scoped differently — the common part is that somebody had to move it, source it, prep it and get it out again.

01

Talent portrait from the Tequila Don Ramón campaign, shot on location in Los Angeles

Tequila Don Ramón — Talent campaign

Los Angeles, CA

Production supportLogisticsTransportation

A talent day built around one person’s availability window, which is the constraint everything else bends to. Gear collected and staged the day before, set dressed and lit before the arrival, and a vehicle held on standby for the swap between looks.

02

Los Angeles, CA

Production design supportSourcingOn-set support

Glassware, surfaces and backing materials sourced against a shot list, then run to set in the order the shots were scheduled. Product still life eats time in the swap between setups, so the work was in staging rather than shooting.

03

TransportationLocation prepProduction support

A residential location with a narrow driveway and a long carry to the pool deck. Everything moved on carts from a staging point, and the load-out was planned before the load-in started.

How these were scoped

Every job starts as a written scope

Before any of the shoots above, the same conversation happened: what are we handling, what is somebody else handling, and who solves it if a location falls through the night before. It is a short document and it is the single most useful thing on the job. Most bad shoot days begin as a gap nobody named out loud.

The crew is sized to the day, not to the invoice

Some of these were a vehicle and two experienced people. Some needed a prep day of collection and sourcing before anyone arrived on set. We quote the shape the job actually needs, which occasionally means telling a client they are about to pay for more production than the shoot has work for.

What we are usually booked for

Rental-house pickups and returns, and the checking that happens at the counter rather than on set.
Prop, furniture and material sourcing against a shot list or a designer’s list.
Production vehicles, load-ins, load-outs, long carries and mid-day location moves.
Location prep and protection, power, staging and set dressing before call time.
Experienced production crew on the shoot day, and strike at wrap.

More work

What is shown here is a sample rather than a catalogue — a good deal of production support work belongs to the client rather than to us, and a good deal of it never appears in a frame. If you want references or examples closer to what you are shooting, ask and we will send them.
