Accolades
A lot has changed in the last twenty-five years. People have movie theaters in their pockets. The biggest television hit isn’t on broadcast or even cable. Co-workers are in different time zones. The use of the word “bespoke” has escalated to alarming levels in the advertising industry.
One thing hasn’t changed: Caviar is still an international, award-winning, independently owned and operated studio. What kind of content do we produce? The answer is, yes.
Oscar-buzz theatrical release? Yes.
Amazon’s holiday ad campaign? Yes.
A show about a guy who wanted to make a show about himself solving the mystery of his wife’s disappearance and possible involvement in a prostitution ring? Yes.
Unscripted? Yes.
That music video that your friend sent you? You know the one. Yes.
You get the picture. If it’s visual, if it’s content, we produce it. Well, at least we think.
But not just produce it. Post-Produce it with our company, LOOM.
Shoot it with our international photo studio, INITIALS LA.
No matter what continent it takes place in or shoots in or airs in, we’re a soup-to-nuts solution and we love every part of it. Okay, maybe getting permits is a drag. We love almost every single part of it.

Music videos still prove to be fertile ground for bold artistic visions, and we’re proud to have collaborated over the last few decades with artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Cardi B, Jay-Z, LCD Soundsystem, Dua Lipa, Stormzy, Selena Gomez, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry. And advertising continues to be bolder and crazier and funnier and more challenging. Whether it’s a Super Bowl commercial with Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen, or an ultra-low budget award winning winning video all created inside one director’s laptop based on celebrities orifices, Caviar continues to attract the talent and produce content that gathers awards around the world.
But of course what’s exciting is what happens tomorrow. Next week. Next year. The world will keep changing, and we’ll still be here doing what we love: Supporting the vision of artists and collaborating on exciting, entertaining, exceptional content.
