Frequently Asked Questions

What does Lucid Film Productions do?

We’re a Los Angeles and London-based content studio producing commercials, branded content, social campaigns, and commercial photography for corporate and consumer brands—from concept to final delivery.

Which industries do you specialize in?

Corporate and commercial work across tech, lifestyle, beauty, automotive, non-profit, and entertainment, with deep experience in B2B and brand-direct partnerships.

Do you handle the full process or just shooting?

Both. We offer end-to-end production (creative, scripting, casting, locations, crew, shoot, edit, color, sound, graphics) or modular support for any single phase.

How long does a typical project take?

Smaller social pieces: 1–2 weeks. Standard branded spots: 3–6 weeks. Larger multi-asset campaigns can run 6–10+ weeks depending on scope, approvals, and deliverables.

What does video production cost?

Budgets vary with creative, shoot days, crew, talent, locations, and post needs. We’ll provide a clear estimate after a quick scoping call and a written brief.

Where do you operate?

Primarily Los Angeles and London, with the ability to crew up across North America, the UK, and Europe. We also support remote and hybrid productions.

Can you create social-first/vertical deliverables?

Yes. We routinely deliver 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 masters, plus cutdowns, supers, and subtitles optimized for each platform.

Do you offer photography alongside video?

Yes—commercial photo production (product, lifestyle, key art) can be booked standalone or bundled with video for efficiency and visual consistency.

How many revision rounds are included?

Typical bids include two to three edit rounds per deliverable. We can customize more rounds if your workflow requires it.

Who handles music, voiceover, and licensing?

We can manage music supervision, VO casting/recording, and all usage licensing, providing clean documentation for your legal/brand teams.

Can you work with our in-house creative team or agency?

Absolutely. We plug into existing strategy/creative, or lead concepting when needed. Clear ownership and version control are baked into our workflow.

Do you manage talent, permits, insurance, and releases?

Yes. We handle casting, union/non-union talent, permits, COIs, and all appearance/location releases as part of production management.

What’s the best way to start a project?

Share your goals, target audience, key messages, references, timeline, and budget range. We’ll respond with scope options and a transparent estimate.
