Creative Media Synthesis
for Businesses & Humans

We are a full-service media production company hellbent on discovering magic from the mundane, and conceit within chaos.

The world is a noisy place. Our goal at Brokensine is to filter the noise down to your idea's most basic components, then develop it into its richest form.

We offer an integrated marketing approach to branded content creation that tells your story and gets you the attention you deserve.

Our Clients

We're proud of the client relationships we build across a wide range of industries and trades.

Brett Todoroff

Co-Owner | Humboldt Brothers

Dan's team is savvy on the obscure nature of my industry, and I feel like I'm in good hands letting them tell our story.

Syd Gris

DJ/Founder | Opel, Opulent Temple

These guys capture all the magic at my shows. The videos they make are out of this world, and totally do the music justice while painting a vivid picture of the event.

Erin Moeller

Marketing Mgr. | Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology

Brokensine makes every part of the process easy AND fun. I am continually impressed by their ability to synthesize dense info. and turn it into an easily understood and engaging product.

Break The Mold | Resonate With Your Audience

Commercial Cinematography

Capturing the Magic

We take a results-first approach to commercial filmmaking; from concept through post. No matter our level of involvement – for-hire camera crew or full-service production – our team obsessively studies the target market and audience demographic to ensure the delivery of a piece that's on-message and primed to maximize your return.

Whether you're a budding cannabis startup, an audio technology company, or an established cosmetology clinic, we tackle your project with a hunger to absorb and ingest as much information about your industry as possible.

Music / Pro Audio

(MATURE) 'Gangsta' - Mr. Gho$t Loc

We worked with L.A. rapper Mr. Gho$t Loc on a campaign to re-launch himself as an artist and develop a new series of music videos. For this one, we stayed super agile with a skeleton crew, moving quickly between locations with just one camera operator and a grip to help keep things in check.

XTRAX Stems 2 by Audionamix

Audionamix specializes in musical source separation and automatic noise reduction. Their newest product – XTRAX Stems 2 – is an update to the industry's only automatic stem creation device, which allows users to split any song into vocal, percussive, and instrumental elements. Aimed at DJs and remixers, XTRAX needed a new kind of video that showed a real-world user benefiting from the amazingly simple and effective power behind this software.

Pristine Digital Reverb from Brainworx

When bx_rooMS came out, it was a revolutionary first step into the reverb plug-in market for Brainworx. It needed top-notch marketing copy, exciting / relevant visuals, and testimony from seasoned studio pros. It got exactly that.  pluginalliance.com

Cannabis

The Midas XII - By Vanguard Scientific Systems

We worked in direct collaboration with Green Flower Media to develop a series of ad spots for Vanguard's state-of-the-art botanical extraction machine. We spent several days interviewing their team and clients in order to understand just how  this revolutionary device will change the industry.

Humboldt Brothers - From Farm to Flower

This Humboldt-based cannabis provider focuses on sustainable farming practices that maintains both environmental and health consciousness in all it does. They recently signed a deal with Francis Coppola wine to collaborate on a new line of products. See more at humboldtbrothers.com

Aesthetics / Medical

Fraxel™ - Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology

With over 6 years of experience performing Fraxel Re:Pair laser treatments, Dr. Andrea Austin has helped more than 6000 patients improve the tightening and complexion of their face. We helped develop a narrative that tells clients everything they need to know about this noninvasive procedure and what they can expect from their results.

CoolSculpting™ - Bay Area Cosmetic Dermatology

The Body Clinic is the leading provider of CoolSculpting in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ingesting their existing marketing content and procedural documentation, we developed a script that conveyed key details and answers to frequently asked questions, allowing staff to save time and effort when conveying this information to new patients seeking treatment.

Event Coverage

Thorough, Discreet, Aware

Covering an event involves so much more than just showing up with a camera and slapping together a clip montage to music. To truly capture the energy and essence of your performance, seminar, or convention, the team documenting these moments needs an intuitive understanding of the reason for being there. After all, isn't the goal to promote the event itself?

Our collective experience filming events across numerous industries has imbued our team with this inherent awareness of the who, what, when, where and why of capturing these moments. We offer total coverage that focuses on what matters the most while maintaining a level of awareness and professionalism, allowing your guests to enjoy their time unhindered by a pushy camera crew.

Opel Productions Presents: The Crystal Method and DJ Dan

We captured all the magic and energy of this world-class dance event featuring some of the most legendary names known to the Electronic Music community. The song used in the video is a fresh remix of The Crystal Method's game-changing hit from the 90's, Busy Child.

Drake's Brewery - Hopocalypse Day

We covered the opening event for the launch of one of Drake's newest beers, Hopocalypse. The day was filled with great music, delicious food, and a huge variety of the brewery's best on tap. We used a 5-person crew to capture all aspects of the event in a very short time, plus dedicated location sound support for interviews with attendees.

Opulent Temple Fundraiser with Infected Mushroom

We worked directly with Infected Mushroom to capture their performance at The Midway, San Francisco, while telling the story of how they came to collaborate with one of Burning Man's most established sound camps.

Playground BRC at the Midway SF

With Carl Cox and Joseph Capriati headlining this show, there was no shortage on high octave techno beats. The house was packed, including the stage behind the DJ. We had four shooters covering this massive event.

Documentary

Finding the Story

One of the most engaging ways to tell a story is to fully immerse yourself in it. We specialize in artist profiles, reality TV pilots, and travel videos. Whether your project needs the agility of a single-person camera crew, or the full coverage of a field production team, the result is always the same: Your story is captured and told in the most engaging way possible.

The Crystal Method - The Trip Home (Teaser)

As part of an ongoing collaboration with Scott Kirkland of The Crystal Method, we capture the magic of his unique DJ performances while making promotional content for his newest album release, The Trip Home.

Working with Dolby™- The Trip Home

Dolby's Gabriel Cory describes his experience working with Scott Kirkland on re-mixing The Trip Home for playback on the Atmos system in Sound-Bar nightclub, Chicago.

Dead | Endkids - Interview

DEK is a rising LA artist developer that draws talent from across multiple musical genres. Our crew met up with them to talk about their first major project as a label.

Cannabis: The PTSD Solution

In collaboration with Green Flower Media, we filmed the remote portion of this documentary in the SF Bay Area. The stories we heard from local veterans and PTSD victims were immensely moving; it was both a learning experience and a privilege to be a part of such a monumental project. The final video launched on Amazon Prime in July of 2019.

BEAT - Cinematic Trailer + Overview

This was one of BSP's first projects, bringing together all the multi-faceted talent required to capture the magic of Electronic Music production through the eyes of the aspiring "beatmaker." See more at beatedm.com

Real Estate & Aerial Videography

Fully Licensed & Fully Insured

Anybody can walk through a house with a camera and randomly stitch together clips over music. We try to go a few steps further with our real estate videos. In order to be effective at helping a home sell, we believe that the content should give the viewer a sense of being there. Otherwise, what's the point of having a video over photos? Every property has a unique character, and it's our goal to capture that character through shot planning and creative editing, providing a seamless viewing experience for your audience.

Drones aren't new
; they're becoming more popular every day. But while anyone can fly a decent camera, the challenge lies in knowing how to use it to get truly cinematic shots by pushing the limits of flight. What's more, UAVs are increasingly restricted by the FAA due to their inherent danger and privacy concerns. We are proudly FAA Part 107 Certified as licensed drone pilots, and fully insured up to $1mil. in liability. So feel safe in knowing that we're fully compliant, and fully responsible for covering the costs when that epic shot goes awry.

100 Mercedes Bend - David Lyng

Nestled up in the hills overlooking Downtown Scotts Valley, CA, this 10-acre property boasts a regulation size tennis court among other fantastic amenities. We used match cuts to keep things seamless between on-ground camera footage and drone shots, sound effects to emphasize the environment, and a vintage color filter for that dreamy country feel.

1111 Escalona Dr. - David Lyng

This single-family home sits the perfect distance between city, beach, and woods. We emphasized some of the old-school kitsch found inside, such as the vintage gas range, wood fireplace, and porthole-style skylights.

Brokensine Aerial Reel

Check out some of our favorite aerial clips from the past year; our team is professionally trained and certified. We're not afraid to take risks to get the perfect shot...maybe that's because we've got great drone insurance.

Audio Production & Support

Classically Trained & Sonically Obsessed

Location Recording

We only use the best tools in the trade to capture dialog and sound effects in the cleanest way possible. While we implement these methods throughout our film production services, we're always happy to contribute as for-hire sound engineers.

Audio Post-Production

Just about every film project needs to have a proper mix and master if it's to hold up against the competition out there. Balancing music with dialog, ensuring appropriate broadcast levels, and de-noising bad takes are just a few ways we can help add polish to your final product.

We designed a Helmholtz Resonator into the ceiling of this in-home studio build, then spec'd and installed Void AirMotion speakers. Suffice to say, it sounds amazing, and the client was blown away.

Event & Studio Support

We offer in-house Audio/Visual support packages for any small to midsized presentation, party, or production. From background music and wireless microphones for your announcements, to custom in-home studio design and buildout, we've got you covered.

Artist Management & Endorsement

Our brand is born in the audio world. The years we've been around have earned us connections with several of the music industry's finest professionals and studios, allowing us to leverage these relationships to help our clients succeed. Whether you're a plugin developer looking for an artist to help endorse your latest product, a pro audio brand looking to increase its local footprint, or a budding musician looking for more connections in the business, we can help make it happen.
