Video, Film and Photography Projects Across Japan
A selection of the video, film and photography projects we have produced in Japan — brand films, TV commercials, corporate video, documentary and hotel campaigns for clients including Manchester City FC, BVLGARI, UFC, New Balance, Hilton and ServiceNow. Some of these we took from concept and script through to final grade; on others we provided production support for visiting crews — line production, bilingual crew, location scouting and permits. We work in Tokyo and throughout Japan, from Kyoto and Okinawa to Niseko and Hokkaido.
