Our Production Process.

Full-service productions for commercial, photo and UGC-style shoots, scoped per project and planned in the Birdline App, so one day on set feeds campaigns for years, not one launch.

Content Library

From a Single Production… to Evergreen Use.

A year at Gardyn: three days on set, endless campaigns cut from them, and production content that will provide value for years.

ProductionsDays on set that fill the library

CampaignsCut from the library, no new shoot

Point at a production to see every campaign it fed, or at a campaign to see where it came from.

  • 3days on set in a year
  • 1,000+assets added to the content library
  • Ongoingreturn on production spend

Treat creative as an appreciating asset, and you’ll build a library that keeps working for years.

Anywhere

Crews Wherever the Shoot Is.

We work with brands all over, and we source the production crew to match. From Los Angeles to Utah to Australia, and beyond, the shoot happens where the brief needs it.

  • Los Angeles
  • Utah
  • Texas
  • San Francisco
  • Australia
  • And beyond
  • Crewed to the brief

    A director, DP, photographer, stylist and crew from the Birdline network, matched to the idea, the medium and the budget.

  • Local where it counts

    Crews sourced near the location, so travel goes to the people who need to be there and the budget goes on screen.

  • One plan, any set

    The brief, shot list and schedule live in the Birdline App, so a shoot in Sydney runs the way a shoot in Los Angeles does.

How a production runs

From the Call to the Library.

Every production runs the same way, whatever the medium.

  1. 01

    Scope it

    On the call we scope the shoot to its creative goals, medium, location and budget.

  2. 02

    Brief & shot list

    A Smart Brief in the Birdline App, with a generated shot list and the props, wardrobe and locations it needs.

  3. 03

    Pre-production

    Casting, locations, crew, schedule and a line-item budget.

  4. 04

    On set

    Our Birds shoot the list, video and stills on the same day, with selects reviewed as the day goes.

  5. 05

    Post & delivery

    Edit, color, sound and retouching, cut for every placement. Initial assets within a week on average.

  6. 06

    Into the library

    Every asset stays tied to its brief, ready for the Monthly Partnership to keep cutting from it.

How we measure productions

Know What Your Content Is Worth.

ROAS tells you how media performed. It says nothing about the shoot behind it. ROPS™ and ROCS™ put production on the same page as ad spend, so every campaign shows what the content actually earned.

  • ROASRevenue ÷ ad spend
    • Ad spend
    • Production

    How efficiently the media converted. Production isn’t in it, so a $100K shoot and a $5K shoot look exactly the same.

  • ROCS™Revenue ÷ production + ad spend
    • Ad spend
    • Production

    What the campaign cost all in, and what it returned. The number that holds up when finance asks why.

  • ROPS™Revenue ÷ production spend
    • Ad spend
    • Production

    What one day on set earned, counted across every ad, cutdown, and campaign that came from it, this quarter and the next.

For every $1 you put into production over the last 12 months, how much tracked revenue came out?
