This place is so awesome. I had to put a couple of scenes on tape for an agent, and Adam read and guided me like a total rockstar. The outcome was so much better than I hoped. It looked incredible, sounded great, and I got the best notes ever. PS - I got the agent! You're the best. Thanks everyone! read more

Great place for your self tape. Great experience! Highly reccomend. Free parking too

This place is THE BEST. So friendly, great quality videos, fast turn around time. You'll be happy you came here !

Absolutely loved my experience with CloseUpCrew! From the very start to the final shots, they created such a safe, encouraging space that made it easy to do my best work in front of the camera. Headshots are so subjective, but I truly feel like my new headshot looks and feels like me--it's authentic and exactly what I hoped for. Special thanks to Pam for her creative input with wardrobe; it made such a difference. And Adam, your talent and energy made the session such a blast! I can't recommend CloseUpCrew enough; they are simply the best in the business! read more

CloseUp Crew was the best! I booked them two days before I needed a self-tape, and they were so accommodating--plenty of open time slots to choose from. I had a bilingual script (English and Spanish), and they were able to find someone who could read it! The whole process was so fun and comfortable. They gave me tips and ensured each take was precisely what I wanted. I even went a few minutes over, and they were gracious enough to let me get one more take to ensure I was satisfied. I will be going back for future self-tapes! read more

I just did a self tape with CloseUp Crew and they were so incredibly kind and amazing. My reader Rael was fantastic and gave me exactly what I needed to turn in a great tape. I and my agents are so happy with how the tape turned out. I'll definitely be back!! read more

Adam, Pam, and the entire Close Up Crew were FANTASTIC. It was a super dynamic session, we tried numerous angles, outfits, and looks. It was super loose and super involved. Never felt rushed and felt like I was wanted and I belonged. I can't thank you guys and gals enough :) read more

Great place for auditions. The readers are top tier which is important for your performance. The place is spacious, quiet, well lit, and the camera quality is above industry standard for an audition. I've booked a couple of times from tapes I've done with CloseUp Crew. The turnaround on your tape is very fast so you're not waiting all day to get your files and you it's not required that you bring your own memory stick. Pam also built a place where you can hang wardrobe and there's a restroom in the self tape room for you to do hair and makeup if necessary. I have my own setup at home and still prefer to go to CloseUp Crew because they make the process as effortless as possible on my part. Feels like the days before self tapes where I can just focus on being the actor. - Branden W. read more

Life savers! I had a really important zoom audition that I was super nervous about. Pam was just amazing helping me keep focused and getting the room perfectly setup. Isaac was so friendly! The space is absolutely fantastic: insulated from outside sound, great lighting, and comfortable setup. As I no longer live local to LA but am often in town, I am finally happy to have a place where I can do auditions instead of lugging lights around with me in my car. Highly recommend and I will be back! read more

CloseUp Crew - Video/Film Production Near Me - Burbank, California

I was so impressed with CloseUp Crew Productions! I went in for a Zoom audition. They have an awesome studio with separate spaces for self tapes, Zoom auditions, and headshot sessions.

Visited the Crew again for some fun PR shots and they absolutely delivered! Adam and Pam were so down to play and try new things. I brought in a Pinterest of ideas of what I wanted to try and they recreated them with ease. Adam makes you feel so comfortable and cool, which makes for amazing results. I fully endorse them for every kind of photo you need, they'll make it happen! read more

Had such a great headshot experience working with Adam at CloseUp Crew. I'm thrilled with my photos!

Our experience was great from beginning to end. My son shared that this was the best shoot he's ever done. It was fun, and Adam really helped him feel comfortable. Pam was also very kind. Both were great with communication throughout the process. There were many options for backdrops, and the space was super clean. We love the photos, and my son can't wait to go back! Thank you, Adam and Pam, with CloseUp Crew! We hope to see you guys again. read more

Can I just say I'm so glad I found this place!!! I was referred recently and I'm never going to any other self-tape place but CloseUp crew. The staff and facility is warm and welcoming. I felt right at home and very comfortable. My coach, Andrew was the BEST!!! He helped me so much with my scene and picked out things I could tweak a bit. All in all, I'm very impressed with the quality, service and my "SELF-TAPE" looked amazing! I'll be back y'all!! Thank you! read more

Came here for the first time only yesterday and now I've been yelling at everyone I know to come here!!! I used the Zoom Room, which is a really relevant and creative take on self tapes geared towards the live zoom audition! So clever to offer this service and to do it so well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My zoom callback when super great and I know the high quality left a good impression. Isaac was my reader and slayed!! Pam the owner is also just the best. read more

My experience for my photo shoot was amazing at CloseUp crew. First of all Pam helped me pick just the right outfit. The facility itself is clean, warm and welcoming. Adam, the photographer, brought out the best in me and guided me to bring my smile to my eyes. The whole team was supportive and actually helped me have fun during the shoot. I am not so comfortable in front of the camera so this was quite an amazing experience for me. And my photos are so beautiful. Adam is an amazing photographer! If you are looking for a professional and at the same time, warm and welcoming place to get your head shots taken with amazing results, this is your place!! read more

Absolutely incredible!!! I've been needing headshots for some time now, and I'm extremely grateful I came to CloseUp Crew. 12/10 to be honest. Adam and Pam are incredible, and I definitely will be coming back for other services :) read more

A super clean facility, very professional. I was able to book online, a follow up was sent to verify. The experience overall felt over the top, far more than what was expected. Pam is an all-star and I will be going back as often as needed!! read more

I had such a terrific time in the studio with Close Up Crew and Adam!! He made me feel so comfortable to open up and feel as natural as possible in front of the camera and have fun while doing it! And Pam has been so helpful to work with from headshot photo shoots to last minute self tape scheduling, she makes it a breeze!

Thank you Pam, Adam, and Close Up Crew!! read more

Fantastic self-tape spot with talented & friendly crew. High production values and great readers.

I've always had a great experience working with Close-Up Crew. Everyone there has been easy to work with, professional, and supportive. The quality of their self tapes is excellent, turn around times are fast, and their rates are very reasonable. read more

The absolute most professional headshots and taped auditions I've ever taken. AND they never layer it with uncomfortable seriousness or over priced sessions as most do. For sure worth every dollar! The business is serious enough when it comes to the pressure of getting cast, looking and sounding best. Knowing I will be lit best, shot best and have the best sound recorded all within an environment so comfortable I've performed my best takes of both comedy and intense drama auditions and all with the same atmosphere of comfort and ease. If your looking for the most professional look and in an environment where you always feel comfortable to perform your best take, you have found THE best place! On a personal note I'm handicapped with arm amputated, and I've never been treated better on a human level then with this team. I'm forever grateful and look forward to many more sessions! read more

CloseUp Crew - Fun shoot! - Video/Film Production Near Me - Burbank, California

Y'all - this is hands down my favorite place to tape and coach here in LA. Andrew is a TOP NOTCH COACH - he gets the best out of me, and I'm a newer actor so I love feeling that I have a safe space to explore and discover more about myself and my artistry. I have so much FUN, seriously, when I go here. All the readers are fantastic - I've had some of the funniest auditions to date here. Also.... I have BOOKED thank you this wonderful team at CloseUp Crew. Obsessed. Also Pam is the sweetest and is so incredibly flexible and helpful with scheduling. Seriously ----- best self tape spot in LA. Obsessed. Love them. Will be thanking them at the Emmy's. lmao. Truly recommend. :) read more

Loved our experience here yesterday! Pam is a powerhouse resource, just AMAZING, talking with us on the phone and helping set up all the pieces in place perfectly for a last minute, film audition for my daughter on Zoom. We loved the Zoom Room and it gave so much value to the audition in terms of lighting, sound, camera, and the ability to move around a lot more than you usually can on a Zoom. Getting the footage later to watch was a huge bonus, and we could all see how amazing the lighting and camera work was. Pam recommended Andrew Onochie as a coach to work with, and Andrew is BRILLIANT -- so well prepared, very sensitive and intuitive in his approach, fun-loving but totally committed, lots of great ideas for physical and prop work, really supportive, thoughtful, and inspired in his choices. I was very impressed with how well he helped craft and fine-tune the scene to make it pop and feel very real. He also had completely researched the director and the franchise, to make astute choices that felt right for the world. Isaac was also INCREDIBLE helping us with tech for the Zoom, lighting and camera, and just made us feel so supported and cared for. Honestly, this is a DREAM TEAM of inspired, creative, super talented people who take your success to heart and put everything they have behind you in helping you shine. I was so grateful for their help and touched by how much heart and care they put into it. I can't recommend the Closeup Crew enough. THANK YOU! read more

So first off... I can't stand getting head shots done. I never end up liking them and I always feel like I look weird. Adam was SO much fun to work with. He knew what looked good, and gave me such easy direction that I couldn't possibly mess up. Every time he showed me the photo we just took, I loved it. The finished photo also looks just like the image on the camera. Sometimes they can vary with coloring, but I've honestly never looked better. I would 100% recommend and be going back!! Adam and Pam went above and beyond for me that day, and I felt important and the shoot felt important to them; I wasn't just a paycheck... I think that helped with my confidence. The energy was awesome and I love how the photos came out. They look clean and awesome. The ones I'm posting are untouched. read more

Pam created a welcoming, calming environment for my live Zoom casting session, by making sure I knew how all of the tech worked and that I was comfortable! I booked a 90min session with a start time 30min prior to my session as recommended, and was happy I did! The pricing was reasonable for me. Highly recommend CloseUp Crew, and I look forward to coming back! read more

I recently had my headshots taken at CloseUp Crew & Adam is a genius. My agent was super happy & is looking forward to sending more clients to get their shots here. Plus I was able to get a few great publicity shots as well because Adam is such a versatile photographer with a great eye & attention to detail. He is so fun to shoot with and an excellent collaborator. You can tell he wants you to have fun and also get all the shots you need. I couldn't be more happy with the results. read more

Really love self taping here. Here is why 1. Great gear all around. Great light. Great sound. Tapes look absolutely high quality amazing! 2. It's easy to book appointments via their online link. 3. Professional readers. I've taped comedy and drama auditions here and both times the reader has been fantastic. They will even ask if you prefer a male or female reader which can be helpful depending on the material. They are also great about not being too fancy with their performance so it won't take away from your audition. 4. Quick turn around. I usually get my audition back from them within 30 mins. 5. Easy parking. It's LA-parking is a must read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CLOSEUP CREW! The ENTIRE CC team is amazing. I have to say one of the most comfortable self-tape environments I've ever been in. The feedback is right on point, the quality of the self-tapes are stellar. I have either booked or called back for 7 out of the 10 auditions of used CC for. I will recommend CloseUp Crew a million times over. Thanks so much to entire CC Team! read more

Everyone is great here. Very professional and friendly. In particular, Isaac was an excellent reader - got the tone and pacing very quickly, and offered a great insight into where the scene could expand further. Definitely consider this place if you need a reliable way to professional self tapes done. read more

I've gone to this studio twice now for self-tapes and both times have been exceptional experiences. Both readers -- Johnny and Alyssa -- were engaged and gave me lots to work with as an actor. They were present, fluid, connected to the material and to me. As actors know, it is essential to have those elements. Beyond that, Pam (the owner of the studio) was kind, hospitable, and even let me go in the room early to get acquainted and set up my props. Even gave me some powder because I had a shiny forehead! The quality of the video and the audio were both high each time. Not sure what their equipment is, but it's definitely better than my iPhone and home lighting set up. They also sent me my download link plenty early before my due time. Bonus: they also honored my request for a female reader. Nice to have gender appropriate readers for the respective characters in your scene. I will absolutely return to CloseUp Crew for future auditions. They're top notch all around with great people running the joint! read more

I've been working with Adam for years. His shots have gotten me many jobs. I've had other friend/photographers who have shot me over the years but Adams are the ones that get me seen. read more

Loved, loved, loved the head shots Adam took for me! It was so fun working with him and he just gave great direction throughout the entire shoot. I've had shots taken before where I just come out not really looking like myself or a bulldog, but Adam really understood my angles. Thank you so much! read more
