Filmmaking Services in South Carolina & New York City
Cinematic filmmaking for brands, agencies, and storytellers
Filmit.xyz is a filmmaking and video production company based in South Carolina and New York City with a nationwide footprint. We use RED cinema cameras, ARRI Alexa systems, the Freefly Ember high speed platform, and cinematic lenses to produce commercial, corporate, industrial, and narrative films. From concept to final color, we handle the entire video production process for your brand, wherever you are located.
At its heart, filmmaking is a collaborative art. The real magic happens when your ideas and our team are working in sync.
We handle the full process from concept and planning to camera, sound, edit, color, and delivery. Our crews are based in South Carolina and New York City which means we can work comfortably on farms, factory floors, offices, and rooftops across both regions.
Where we film and what we love to shoot
Filmit.xyz is a nationwide production company with strong roots in South Carolina and a strong, active footprint in New York City. That reach gives us flexibility. One week we might be filming on a farm in the Upstate, the next we are in a Manhattan office, then on a factory floor or in a coastal restaurant.
Typical filmmaking projects include:
Brand and commercial films for products and services
Corporate and industrial films that show how work really gets done
Mini documentaries and founder stories
Narrative and experimental projects that need a seasoned camera and lighting team
We build a crew around your project. That might mean plugging into an existing production as the camera department, or handling the entire process from creative and pre production through to post.
Filmmaking FAQs
-
Filmit.xyz has strong home bases in South Carolina and New York City, but we shoot nationwide. Our team regularly travels across the Southeast, Midwest, and West Coast and we are often on projects in Texas and Arizona. If your film or video production is in another state, we simply build travel and logistics into the proposal.
-
We do both. Many clients hire us as a full service video production partner for concept development, scripting, pre production, filming, and post production. Other teams already have a creative direction or agency in place and bring us in specifically as the camera and lighting department. We can plug into existing workflows or run the entire filmmaking process end to end.
-
Smaller shoots can turn around in a few weeks from first call to final delivery. Larger brand films, documentaries, or multi day productions usually run on a longer schedule with defined milestones. On our Process page we break down each phase so you know what to expect.
-
Start with a quick call or message through the Contact page. Share a bit about your brand, what you want to create, where you are located, and any important dates. We will follow up with a clear plan, scope, and budget range so you can decide next steps.
-
We approach budgets in an agile, realistic way. Some projects are focused, budget friendly pieces in the 10k range, such as a single brand film or a small set of social deliverables. At the other end of the spectrum we have worked on major motion picture and documentary projects with total budgets of 1 million and above. During discovery we talk through your goals and build a package that makes sense for the scale of the project.
-
We produce a wide range of work including brand and commercial films, corporate and industrial videos, documentary style stories, and narrative projects. That can mean a two minute flagship piece for your homepage, a series of interview driven films, or a full campaign with vertical content for social. If it involves cameras and storytelling, there is a good chance we can help.
-
For smaller productions, two to four weeks of lead time is usually enough to plan, schedule, and prep. Larger brand films, multi day shoots, and documentary or narrative work benefit from several weeks to a few months of pre production. If you have a fixed date such as a product launch or event, reach out as early as possible so we can lock in crew, locations, and travel.
Cinema cameras built for high end production
At the core of our filmmaking services is a camera package built for serious work. We shoot primarily on the RED V Raptor VV and ARRI Alexa 35, two modern cinema cameras trusted on major films, series, and commercial campaigns.
These systems give your project:
Rich, natural color and wide dynamic range for accurate skin tones
Resolutions from 4K up to 8K for clean reframes and high quality stills
High frame rate options for smooth motion and elegant slow motion
Strong performance in both controlled studio setups and fast moving locations
The RED V Raptor VV delivers a large format, high resolution image with tons of flexibility in post. The ARRI Alexa 35 brings the classic ARRI color science and highlight rolloff that has become a standard in cinema. Together they let us match the right camera to each project while maintaining a consistent, cinematic look across your brand.
You do not need to speak camera jargon or worry about sensor specs. Our job is to choose the system that best supports your story, whether that means a polished brand film, an industrial piece in a challenging environment, or a narrative project that needs a true cinema feel.

Slow motion filmmaking with the Freefly Ember
Some moments simply work better in slow motion. Sparks from a weld, water pouring over a dish, fabric moving through the air, a hitter connecting with a pitch. For those shots we use the Freefly Ember, a high speed camera that lets us capture detail you would otherwise miss.
Key specs:
Super 35 5K sensor
Up to 600 frames per second at 4K
Up to 800 frames per second at lower resolutions
Lightweight 800 gram body for gimbals, rigs, and tight spaces
We use Ember to add dynamic, high impact moments inside broader films. A few well placed slow motion shots can make an industrial process, food prep sequence, or product demo feel elevated without turning the entire project into a slow motion reel.

Lenses that shape how your audience feels
The lens you choose changes how a story feels. It affects perspective, depth, and how the audience experiences the world you are showing them. We work with both anamorphic and full frame lens sets and choose the right tools based on what you want people to feel.
Anamorphic lenses
Anamorphic lenses are ideal for projects that need a truly cinematic feel. They compress the image vertically and expand it horizontally, creating a native widescreen aspect ratio near 2.39 to 1. This gives you that classic movie look with rich bokeh and a sense of scale that is perfect for narrative work, brand films with emotional arcs, and expansive landscapes.
You can dive deeper into our approach on the Why Anamorphics page, where we break down why this look works so well for storytelling.
Full frame lenses
Full frame lenses are our go to choice for commercial, food, and architectural work. They are perfect when you want clean detail and control over depth of field, whether we are filming a restaurant in Charleston, an industrial plant in the Upstate, or an interior space in New York City.
Most projects use a mix. Anamorphic for big cinematic moments, full frame for clean, modern coverage that feels right at home in commercial and digital spaces.
