Tell us about it.

What you're making, who it's for, and roughly the budget. We'll write back within two business days.

Who you'll be talking to.

  • Justin Prappas

    Co-owner · Director / Editor

    Finance grad from Oakland University with seven years in the finance sector, where he kept gravitating to the marketing and visual work. Taught himself to edit making gaming content in the early 2010s. Today he directs music videos, event recaps, and lectures, and is just as at home behind the camera.

  • Tara Purgaric

    Co-owner · Color / Visual Art

    Columbia College graduate in TV writing and production, and a recognized visual artist, with scholastic art medals, a serious painting practice, and years of freelance portrait and product retouching. Her deep knowledge of color theory is behind the studio's color work.

Six phases to delivery.

  1. Conversation

    A quick call. We listen, ask questions, decide if we're the right fit.

  2. Treatment

    References, mood, beats, locations, schedule, budget.

  3. Pre-Production

    Casting, scouting, gear, crew, schedule lock.

  4. Production

    Small crew, real rooms, the right gear.

  5. Post

    Edit, color, sound. Director cut, then notes, then a final pass.

  6. Delivery

    Master files, cut-downs, captions, stills. Plus a handoff call.

Questions? We have answers.

What's my role in the project?

You set the goal and the vision. We start with a quick call, then send a treatment covering references, mood, locations, schedule, and budget for you to react to. After the shoot you see a director's cut, give notes, and we make a final pass.

Who will I be working with?

Lamped Up is owned and run by Justin Prappas and Tara Purgaric. We keep the team small on purpose, so you work directly with the people who shoot and cut your project.

How much feedback can I give?

You weigh in at the treatment stage before anything is shot, and again in post: we deliver a director's cut, take your notes, and make a final pass.

What do I get at the end?

Master files, cut-downs, captions, and stills, versioned for the platforms you're publishing to, plus a handoff call to walk through everything.

How do we get started?

Reach out through the contact page. The first step is a quick call where we listen, ask questions, and decide together whether we're the right fit.
