Shot on cinema glass
Professional cinema cameras, proper lighting and fast prime lenses for the wide, filmic frame that separates a real music video from a phone clip.
We write the concept

Fast turnaround
Most videos are shot in a day and delivered inside a few weeks, known for arriving sooner than expected without cutting the quality.
Chart acts to first singles

What you get
How a music video comes together
Concept, shoot and edit, scoped to your track, your budget and your release date. You sign off the plan before we shoot.
Cinema-camera shoot
We arrive early with cinema cameras, lighting and grip, and Jason directs a set that is relaxed to be on and decisive when it counts.
Cinematic filmic look
We colour-grade for the wide, cinematic look with its shallow depth and clean separation, so the video feels bigger than the budget behind it.
Cut to the song
Edited to the beat of the track rather than a stock template, so the video moves the way the music does.
Release-ready delivery
A finished video built for the platforms you are releasing on, delivered on a timeline that suits your release date.
Live and tour add-ons
If the release ties to a launch show or tour, we also shoot live events and multicam performances with clean audio.
In their words
Trusted across South Australia
“We found JLM Studios when we needed a professional promo video on a tight schedule and budget. After working with him once, Jason has been our only go-to for all our professional videos. Quick response, punctual, creative vision, and his rates are extremely generous for the production you receive.”
“Jason made my filming experience so enjoyable and stress-free. He encouraged and expanded on my ideas throughout the planning process. With his laid back, can-do approach I felt so comfortable to express my vision. An all-round 11/10 fantastic experience.”
“On all projects he has exceeded my expectations as both photographer and videographer. The video has been a hit, gaining national exposure, and our band has been travelling Australia wide. His turnaround is lightning fast. Creative, funny and highly professional.”
Questions
Good to know
Still unsure? Send your details and ask anything, or call 0424 965 133.
How much does a music video cost in Adelaide?
It depends on the concept, the number of shoot days, locations, crew and the amount of editing involved. A single-location performance clip sits at one end and a multi-day scripted narrative video at the other. Tell us your track, your vision and your budget in the enquiry, and we scope the shoot so every dollar lands on screen. Artists regularly tell us our rates are generous for the production quality you receive, and every quote is free.
How long does a music video take to produce?
From locking in the concept, most music videos are shot in a single day and delivered inside a few weeks, depending on the edit and how much scripting the piece needs. Fast turnaround is one of the things clients mention most, and we are known for delivering sooner than expected without cutting corners. If you are working to a release date, tell us and we plan the whole schedule around it.
Do you write the concept, or do I have to?
We craft the scripts and treatments for the majority of the videos we make. You can come to us with a fully formed idea, a rough feeling, or nothing but the finished track, and we will shape a concept that suits the song, your image and your budget. You sign off the plan before we shoot, so there are no surprises on the day.
What cameras and gear do you shoot music videos on?
Professional cinema cameras with proper lighting and grip, plus fast cinema prime lenses for that wide, filmic look. We match the kit to the concept rather than forcing every video through the same setup, which is why the footage holds up on a cinema screen and looks premium on a phone feed.
Do you film music videos outside Adelaide?
Yes. We are based in Adelaide and shoot across the metro area and all of South Australia, and we travel interstate to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth for the right project. If your video needs a location beyond the metro, get in touch and we will sort the logistics.
