Original venue lookbooks are in Chinese.
Send the script or storyboard. We will list the sets you need and check blocking, camera positions, lighting and sound. Once there is a shortlist, we can arrange a recce to test the product action and plan the moves. ONCE can also handle the shoot and post-production.
Tell us how the product is used, who it is for and where the video will run. A home, kitchen or sports set needs enough room to show the action properly. Agree on the formats, subtitles and versions for Amazon, Shopify or social channels before the shoot.
These venues are independently operated. ONCE can shortlist locations, coordinate with the venue and arrange production. For our own studio, equipment hire and studio shoots, see U-STUDIO.
Send your preferred date, crew size, shoot duration and selected sets, along with any script or references. We will check availability and usage with the venue, then work through location costs and the production budget. Lookbook rates are indicative; running water, cooking and moving furniture need to be confirmed.
