FastPay ePay
A 2D animated explainer for ePay, FastPay’s payments product, built around an illustrated version of the dashboard.
Atlanta video production for local brands: commercials, testimonials, and animated explainers, handled by one team from the first script to the final export.
Brandefy has been producing video since 2011, and our Atlanta office is on Peachtree Road in Buckhead. The same team writes the script, runs the shoot, and finishes the edit, so nothing gets lost between vendors.
We make commercials, customer testimonials, product videos, and 2D and 3D animation. Every project ships in the cuts and aspect ratios your channels call for, whether that is broadcast, YouTube, LinkedIn, or a trade show screen.
Payments, logistics, healthcare, consumer brands, and film all have deep roots here. This is the kind of video each one tends to need.
Metro Atlanta is one of the country’s main hubs for payment processing. An animated explainer can make a platform, a fee model, or a new feature clear in under two minutes.
Hospitals, health systems, and health-tech companies use patient and customer stories to earn trust before a first appointment or a first sales call.
With one of the world’s busiest airports and major freight carriers close by, local teams need training, safety, and recruiting videos that work across shifts and sites.
Product spots and short social cuts for food, beverage, retail, and franchise brands, made to run on TV, connected TV, and paid social.
Georgia hosts a steady stream of film and series work. We cut sizzle reels and pitch pieces for producers who need to sell a show before it is made.
Brand films, course content, and donor videos for campuses, foundations, and associations.
Three projects from sectors with a big footprint in Atlanta: a payments explainer, a healthcare testimonial, and a consumer product video.

A 53-second product video for Takeya’s ThermoFlask bottles, shot in a kitchen setting and sized for social feeds.
“They exceeded expectations. The videos helped us build a presence in 55 countries and drove strong growth across social, email, and web.”
“We use the video everywhere—Zoom, meetings, YouTube, our site. Prospects say EZ Stacker ‘sells itself.’ Exactly the impact we needed.”
“Great results for our launches. The team always offered smart feedback on how to improve.”
Local rules and conditions we account for before anyone books a crew.
Shoots on public property in the City of Atlanta, and anything that closes a street, lane, or sidewalk, go through the Mayor’s Office of Film & Entertainment. Closures also need a traffic plan and notice to nearby residents and businesses, so we file early.
Commercial filming on the Atlanta BeltLine needs separate permission from Atlanta BeltLine, Inc., which asks for requests at least 10 business days ahead. City parks require a site plan with the permit application.
The Downtown Connector and I‑285 can turn a short drive into an hour. We group locations by neighborhood and keep crew moves out of rush hour.
Summers are hot and humid, and afternoon thunderstorms are common. We shoot exteriors early, hold a covered backup location, and watch for heavy pollen in early spring.
Aerial work needs an FAA Part 107 certified pilot. Hartsfield-Jackson, DeKalb-Peachtree, and Fulton County airports each have controlled airspace over parts of the metro, so many flights need FAA authorization first.
Georgia’s 20% film tax credit can cover commercials, but a production company has to spend at least $500,000 in the state in a tax year, and commercials do not get the extra 10% promotional uplift. Most single brand videos fall below that minimum.
Sources: City of Atlanta Office of Film & Entertainment, Atlanta BeltLine filming requests, and the Georgia Film Office. Requirements change, so we check them again before each shoot.
Shoots happen at offices, warehouses, clinics, restaurants, and event venues in Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties, or on a stage when the concept calls for a built set.
At 3280 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30305, in Buckhead. Brandefy was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.
Full-service projects with Brandefy generally start near $5,000. Multi-day shoots, larger casts, and heavy animation can push a budget past $100,000. After a kickoff call we send a detailed quote so you can see what drives the number.
Plan on 2 to 4 weeks for a simple video and 4 to 6 weeks for a mid-size project. Campaigns with several deliverables can run 12 weeks or longer. Add time if the shoot needs a street closure or a BeltLine location.
Usually, if you are on public property. The Mayor’s Office of Film & Entertainment permits filming on city property and any shoot that closes a street, lane, or sidewalk. A shoot kept entirely on private property with the owner’s permission often does not need one, though some activities, such as night lighting in a residential area, still do. We handle the applications during pre-production.
Yes, with permission. Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. requires a commercial filming request, proof of insurance, and at least 10 business days of notice. Shorter notice carries a rush fee.
Sometimes. Commercials can qualify for the 20% base credit, but the production company has to reach $500,000 in qualified Georgia spending within a tax year, and the 10% promotional uplift does not apply to commercials. An audit is required before the credit can be claimed. Most single brand videos do not reach the minimum.
Commercial flights need an FAA Part 107 certified pilot. Large parts of the metro sit under controlled airspace around Hartsfield-Jackson, DeKalb-Peachtree, and Fulton County airports, so FAA authorization has to be requested before the shoot date.
Hotels, parking, and crews get tight during large conventions at the Georgia World Congress Center, over Labor Day weekend when Dragon Con is downtown, and around the SEC Championship in early December. Film and series productions also keep local stages busy through the year, so early holds help.
We film across metro Atlanta, including Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Decatur, Marietta, Smyrna, Alpharetta, Roswell, Duluth, Kennesaw, and Peachtree City.
