Video production for Los Angeles brands, made remotely: motion graphics, animation and AI video

First, what we do not do

Los Angeles is full of camera crews, studios and directors, and we are not trying to be another one. We do not send a crew to your set, and we will not claim a local studio. If your project needs live-action filming, you hire a crew or production company you trust, and we take it from there.

What we do is the work that does not need a camera in LA: animation, motion design, editing, AI-generated scenes and the steady volume of short videos that marketing teams now need every week. That is the honest shape of our video production. Los Angeles clients use us alongside their own shoots, not instead of them.

What we make

• Short-form video and reels for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts
• Motion graphics: titles, animated ads, social cut-downs and brand elements
• Animated explainers for products, services and processes
• 2D and 3D animation, including product and technical animation
• Brand films edited from your footage, stock or animation
• AI video: AI presenters, ad variations and generated scenes, always labeled and reviewed
• Managed editing teams that work through your content calendar
• Live broadcast production for events and streams

Who in LA hires a remote video team

The common thread among companies that hire a remote video team is volume and variety. A single campaign now needs a hero video, a dozen cut-downs, vertical and square versions, captions and a few ad variations to test. Booking a crew for each of those makes no sense, but someone still has to make them well and on time.

• Fashion and beauty brands that need a constant stream of product reels, ad variants and launch teasers between bigger shoots
• Entertainment and media companies that need extra editing hands, social cut-downs or animated title packages around a release
• Health tech, aesthetics and dental practices that need treatment explainers and patient education animation instead of filming patients
• Aerospace and engineering firms that need technical animation for trade shows, investor decks and recruiting, without filming sensitive facilities
• Real estate developers that need animated walkthroughs and launch films for buildings that are not finished yet

AI video, done carefully in the home of the industry

Los Angeles is where the debate about AI in film and television is loudest, and for good reason. Union agreements now cover the use of performers' digital replicas, and California has passed laws on contracts for them. We take that seriously.

Our rules: we never create a likeness of a real person without their written consent, AI-generated content is labeled, a person reviews every output before it goes out, and we keep records of the tools and sources used. For most brands, AI video works best for ad variations, backgrounds and scenes that would be costly to film, not for replacing people on camera.

How a video project runs: Talk, Plan, Build, Grow

• Talk: the goal, audience, channels and what has worked before
• Plan: script or storyboard, style frames, schedule and delivery formats in writing
• Build: animation or edit in rounds, with time-coded comments in a shared review tool
• Grow: cut-downs for each platform, performance review and the next batch

How edits and reviews run for LA clients

Each project starts with a written brief and a schedule showing when the script, first edit and final versions are due. Feedback comes through time-coded comments, and calls are booked at times that suit you when a conversation is quicker. Large files move through cloud transfer, so nothing waits for a courier.

Proof: deadlines that do not move

We run a managed video editing team for a US client, briefed and quality-checked through one lead. Our live work sharpens that discipline: we have run and broadcast more than 20 large-scale live events, where the date never moves.

What the cost depends on

• Length, number of videos and number of versions per platform
• Animation style: motion graphics, 2D or 3D
• Whether we edit your footage or build everything from scratch
• Use of AI video, voice-over, music and stock licensing
• One-off project or ongoing monthly volume

Why 22 Signals for video

Our video team sits beside our paid media, SEO and web teams, so videos are made for where they will run and judged on what they achieve. That link to performance is what brands miss when they split strategy from video production. Los Angeles marketing teams that keep them together tend to brief less and test more. Brand teams get one place for animation, AI video and the campaigns that use them. Related services: 3D rendering, paid media and app development for Los Angeles companies.

Questions

Do you offer video production in Los Angeles with a film crew?

No. We do not send crews or run a local studio, and we are upfront about that in every quote for video production. Los Angeles clients get animation, motion graphics, editing and AI video, all delivered remotely. If you need live-action filming, your own crew or a production company shoots, and we edit, animate and version the footage.

Can you edit footage we shoot ourselves in LA?

Yes, and many clients work this way. You upload footage through a cloud transfer tool, we cut it to the agreed schedule, and you review with time-coded comments. We handle color correction, sound clean-up, titles, captions and versions for each platform.

Is AI video safe to use for our brand?

It can be, with clear rules. We only use real people's likenesses with written consent, label AI-generated content, review every output by hand and keep records of tools used. We usually recommend AI for ad variations, backgrounds and scenes rather than replacing presenters or performers.

How fast can you turn around social videos?

It depends on volume and complexity, but simple edits usually come back quickly, and each one has a delivery date agreed in advance. For ongoing work we agree a weekly schedule and delivery times in writing, and the Signal Lead tracks every deadline.

What formats and versions do you deliver?

Whatever the channels need: vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, square and 4:5 for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube and websites, plus captioned and silent versions. We also deliver project files and graphics templates on request, so your in-house team can make quick changes without coming back to us.

Do you make animated explainers for health tech and medical companies?

Yes. Animation is often better than filming for medical subjects because it can show what happens inside the body or a device clearly, and avoids filming patients. Your clinical team reviews the script and storyboard for accuracy before animation starts.

Can you provide a managed editing team for our content calendar?

Yes. We already run a managed video editing team for a US client, with one lead handling briefs, quality checks and deadlines, and we can set one up around your content calendar. It suits LA brands and media companies whose video volume has outgrown their in-house editors.
