media company

LA photo and video company. Bookings start with a short brief, one question at a time.

Fourteen seconds, no sound.

The headache

A media company gets judged by its own site first. It had to frame photos quietly and get enquiries to a person. It was also on a hosted builder.

  • In the way: Vague enquiries take three emails to quote.

    The fix: Booking is a four-step brief, so the owners have what they need before replying.

  • In the way: Big galleries break first when a site moves.

    The fix: The whole gallery came across intact from the hosted builder.

  • In the way: Five kinds of work can turn a home page into a menu.

    The fix: Portraits, cars, corporate, events and weddings: five short rows. Seven pages, not one long scroll.

Portraits, cars, corporate, events and weddings in Los Angeles. The brief was restraint: one looping film, lots of air, and a booking path that asks the right questions up front.

Up close

A quiet loopOne line of type over a looping film, lots of air, and a live Los Angeles clock in the corner.
One light bandThe only light surface holds the one line about what they do: a pause between the film and the work.

The look, and why

Built as a frame for other people's work: dark surfaces at #0a0a0a or #1a1a1a, one light band for the statement, nothing structural saturated. Space Grotesk for display at 115px, JetBrains Mono for captions and credits, so small type reads as data. One red, #e6000d, as a marker, never decoration.
