Commercial Production
Short-form ads that earn attention without buying it twice.
The fear with any paid spot is that it gets skipped. So the creative comes first: what to say, to whom, and how to earn the first three seconds. Brands bring us the goal and we produce the spot end to end. Agencies bring the creative and get a crew they don't have to babysit.

What is commercial video production?
Commercial video production is short-form advertising designed to perform on paid media — social ads, broadcast spots, OTT campaigns, and connected-TV placements. Blue Barn produces commercials for brands and agencies who need every second to land, treating each spot like a small film rather than a transactional asset. Talent fees and media buys are handled separately; we produce the films.

From brief to final delivery
When you want Blue Barn at the helm, handling strategy, creative direction, crew, and post, this is that engagement. You bring the business goal. We bring the plan, the production, and the finished film. More on why commercial video is one of the highest-leverage investments a business can make in Why invest in commercial video production.
What's included
Creative development
Concept, scripting, casting, and creative direction, so the ad is aligned with your vision.
Full production crew
Director, DP, audio, lighting, and PAs, scaled to the shoot, so the job gets done right.
On-location or studio direction
We plan, scout, and direct the entire production day, so the creative stays in our hands and hits your objectives.
Post-production
Editing, color, sound design, and motion graphics in-house, so every asset gets a high level of polish and lands in your team's library ready to use.
Multi-platform deliverables
Every cut built with intent, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and beyond, so your ads look natural wherever they appear.

Commercial production FAQs
What types of commercial videos do you produce?▾
We produce social media ads, FAQ and educational video series, short-form brand spots, TV and broadcast commercials, product demonstration videos, and multi-platform ad campaigns.
Do you work with ad agencies and brands directly?▾
Both. We work with brands directly on full-service commercial production, and we partner with agencies and in-house creative teams who bring the strategy and need a production studio to execute. Either way, the work is owner-led from brief to final cut.
How much does commercial video production cost?▾
Commercial production tiers start at $5,950 for The Commercial Spot. The Commercial Campaign starts at $13,500 for a coordinated set of short ads. Broadcast-quality work starts at $32,500. Pure motion graphics or animation projects typically range from $5,500 to $10,000. See the pricing page for full details.
Are talent fees and media placement included?▾
Talent fees and buyouts are billed separately when projects involve hired talent. We produce the films; we don't place media — that's where your media agency comes in.
Need crew without full creative direction?▾
We also offer Crew for Hire as a separate service for agencies, production companies, and brands that already have the creative covered and need professional crew on set.

How to start
Three steps from first call to finished film.
1
Start with a conversation.
Thirty minutes, free, at a time you choose. Tell us what you're trying to do.
2
Know exactly what you're getting.
A written proposal covers what we'll make, what it costs, and when. If you're still deciding what video you need, a Video Roadmap comes first: a paid strategy document that maps it out.
3
Have the founders on your project.
Stephen and Carlos are on set and in the edit, not handing you off. Most films deliver in three to six weeks.
Paid media only works when the spot is worth watching.
Let's talk about your production.
