A video production crew that travels to the work.
Influence Studios is based in Glendale, Arizona, and gets on the plane when the shot is somewhere else. The same team behind campaigns for Lamborghini, Nike, Amazon, Ford and Super Bowl LVII activations flies out, shoots, and brings the footage home to a post house we own.

The brands are the argument.
Nobody flies a crew across the world for convenience. They do it for a specific team with a specific standard. This is the wall that gets us on the plane.

The reel

On the road
Featured work, none of it in Arizona.
This crew has shot in dozens of cities across the country and around the world. Here are a few featured productions, with the footage to match.
West Hollywood, CA
Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica
Lamborghini USA launched the Huracan Tecnica into the American market and the shoot happened on the streets of West Hollywood, not on a stage in Glendale. One trip returned :15, :30 and :60 broadcast cuts, a 10-minute review film, and stock footage for dealer packets.
Read the case studyBremerton, WA
“From The Brem”
A music video produced at city scale more than a thousand miles from the studio, in the town the director, the DP and the artist all come from. The mayor took part, and so did the city. The behind-the-scenes film shows how a production that size gets organized on the road.
Seattle, WA
Providence · Seattle Sounders
Brand and interview work for Providence and the Seattle Sounders, shot in market in the Pacific Northwest. Providence is an Influence client, and the Puget Sound is home turf: this team is originally from Washington, with a team member in Bremerton today.
Meet the crewHow a fly-out works
Senior crew travels. Post stays home.
A national production is a logistics problem wearing a creative hat. Here is exactly how ours is staffed, so there are no surprises on the invoice or on the day.
A senior crew flies
Director, DP and producer travel, plus whichever specialists the shot list genuinely needs. Small teams move faster through airports, hotels and load-ins, and every one of them has shot this work before.
Our cameras fly with us
The camera package travels as our own cases: the same cinema cameras, lenses and support the reel was shot on, so the look never depends on a rental shelf. Grip trucks, lighting packages and extra hands get hired locally when it serves the job.
One producer owns the logistics
Flights, permits, insurance certificates, call sheets, parking, catering and the schedule sit with a single producer from first call to wrap. You get one phone number, not a vendor chain.
Post comes home to Glendale
Edit, colour, sound, motion graphics, VFX and CGI all happen in our own building on the same pipeline as every Arizona project. The footage never changes hands, so the cut looks like the reel you hired.
What travels
A senior crew travels with our own camera package, local support comes in where it serves the shot, and post stays in Glendale on the pipeline that cut the reel. One producer owns the trip from first call to final delivery, so you are hiring the same people who shot the work you watched.
Or bring the shoot to us
Two plane tickets beat a whole travel day.
Home base is a nearly 10,000 sq ft studio in Glendale, Arizona. Flying two or three people to Phoenix is very often cheaper than moving a crew, a lighting package and a truck to them, and the day runs on our own stage instead of a location we have never stood in.
The 30x10 ft LED volume wall, the highest quality screen in Arizona, puts a real-time environment behind live talent, so a spot that “has to” be shot in a city can often be shot in-camera here. Add a 2,000+ sq ft cyclorama, a sound-treated podcast suite for up to eight guests, a seven-set portrait studio, and standing sci-fi, bedroom and bar sets.
- Single spaces from $49/hr
- Cyc wall & LED volume $90/hr
- Full studio buyout $149/hr
- After-hours $199/hr
What we fly out for
The same disciplines, in your city.
Nothing on this list changes because the call sheet has an airport code on it. Every service below is the one we deliver at home, run by the people who deliver it at home.
Tell us the city. We will price the trip.
Send the location, the dates and what the footage has to do. A producer calls back within one business day with a scope, a crew plan and the travel line shown as its own number.
