The Audio\Visual Crew
You’ve Got Vision. We Make It Loud.
HEAR THE WORK
We came up through THE WORK.

The Audio\Visual Crew is a queer-founded LA production company built on a specific point of view — one that spent years in the closet and isn’t anymore. That’s not a footnote. It’s why the work lands.

We make hero commercials, documentary, virtual production, photography, and multi-platform content. The capability is broad. The perspective is singular.

Every project starts with a story worth telling and ends with an audience that remembers it.

CREATIVE
We start with
THE STORY.

Every project starts in the same place: a story problem worth solving. We develop concepts, write scripts, build treatments and boards from the ground up. Some projects come to us fully scripted and boarded. We plug in where we're needed and execute. Either way, every frame has a reason to exist.

PRODUCTION
We show up
READY.

From a single-camera documentary to a full-scale commercial production, we build the crew the project demands. Commercials, music videos, documentaries, PSAs, branded content. Multi-format, multi-location, scalable from a one-day shoot to a weeks-long production.

VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
We build
WORLDS.

We've shot five locations in a single day on an LED volume wall using Unreal Engine environments on the Disguise platform. Our virtual production crew includes Carlos Fueyo, Virtual Production Supervisor on Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom; Oren Soffer, Director of Photography on The Creator; and Brendan O'Connor, Art Director on Station 19 and Shameless.

POST PRODUCTION
From shoot to delivery,
IN-HOUSE.

Editorial, sound design, music composition, music licensing, color correction, VFX, infographics. One team shepherds it from idea to final deliverables.

We speak
CREATOR.

Patrick Starrr, Joey Graceffa, Trisha Paytas, Charlie Puth. We've built productions around creators at the height of their cultural reach, turning their audiences into brand audiences. Social-native storytelling with over a billion views behind it.

U.S. Dept. of
Veterans Affairs
Five locations. One day.

We shot Afghanistan, a family memory, an office, the Grand Canyon, group therapy, and a quiet moment at home. All in a single day on an LED volume wall using Unreal Engine environments on the Disguise platform. The campaign covers veteran mental health across depression, bipolar disorder, traumatic brain injury, and treatment access. Silver Telly Award winner.

AI INTEGRATION · PRODUCTION · POST
DoorDash
Currently in production.

We have direct relationships with generative media companies on the cutting edge — including ImagineArt and Kling — with early access to tools not yet publicly available. We're already working with what's around the corner. We advise on where AI expands creativity and drives cost savings, and where traditional workflows still have the edge.

CASE STUDY · PRODUCTION · POST PRODUCTION
ONE/SIZE
Every asset. One shoot.

We shot an entire campaign for ONE/SIZE in a single production day. The hero spot, social cutdowns, and BTS footage for influencer posts all ran simultaneously on set. Multiple cameras rolling, multiple looks captured, the talent posting to their own feeds in real time. The shoot itself was the content. By the time we wrapped, the campaign was already live.

CASE STUDY · PRODUCTION
Mercedes-Benz
A product reveal. CES.

We produced a campaign revealing Mercedes-Benz's integration with Google Home and Amazon Echo. The finished spot played during their CES keynote and was covered by four of the biggest names in tech and culture.
