Your live music creates an emotional connection between you and your fans. Capture that magic on video and use it to grow your fanbase online!
Book Bigger Shows
Showcasing your music professionally and authentically will not only help you stand out from the competition but also make it easy for venues to say "yes!" and hire you!
Make More Money
By investing in video, you demonstrate that not only are you serious about your music itself, but also the business behind it, opening the door to premium, high-paying opportunities.
You spend more time booking shows than playing them
You can't even pay off your guitar with gig money
Your music was meant to be heard!
You've invested hundreds (if not thousands) of hours into mastering your craft. You've spent thousands of dollars on the best instruments and gear. Don't let mediocre videos undercut the music you work so hard on!

HOW IT WORKS
Process
Incredible video in just 3 steps
1. Plan
We'll jump on a call to determine if Pineapple Studio is the best fit to help you achieve your goals!
If so, we'll choose a venue that will look amazing on camera (typically one of your shows already on the calendar) and book the shoot!
2. Perform
We'll come to your show with an arsenal of cinema-grade cameras and recording equipment.
We'll use this specialized equipment to capture your performance with pristine clarity. All you have to do is play your best!
3. Produce
In the days after the show, we'll begin mixing your audio tracks and editing together the video footage.
The result will be a high-energy, cinematic film of your performance! A typical project could be as quick as two weeks!

50+ Cleveland Concert Contacts
Access to NEO's best venues, all at your fingertips!
Every project (except hype videos) includes multi-camera 4k videography, live audio recording, studio mixing, all post-production, and editing.
The only variable will be the project deliverable. (i.e. Sizzle reel, individual songs, full concert film etc.)
How much extra effort will this be for me?
None! (Just play the show)
One of the best things about this process is that it requires no additional time or effort on your end. All you have to do is show up and play the show. We'll be there to capture it!
Can we film at your studio?
We actually don't have a commercial studio. 🤯
Our model is 100% mobile, meaning we come to YOU with all the equipment. This also makes each film we do unique! While we usually film at live shows with an audience, we can arrange to film your music at any location.
How long will it take to complete my video?
Usually only about 2 weeks.
In most cases, we can get a first edit done for a sizzle reel in just 2 weeks. We plan some time for revisions and collaboration as well. Most projects do not take longer than 4 weeks, although full concert films could take a little longer.
Each band, show, and film is unique. We will set proper expectations before getting started to make sure we're all on the same page.
How Much Does This Cost?
Fans, Opportunities, and Income.
Video content is the most valuable asset a band can invest in in 2024.
Our videos serve as powerful showcases for your band across the internet. Without them, you're inevitably missing out on new fans, opportunities, and extra income from your music.
We understand that every band is unique. We only work with bands we believe will gain significant returns from investing in our video assets.
Get in touch to find out if your band is a good fit for our films!
Our films are often one of our client's top social media posts when it comes to engagement. You'll likely see a boost in audience interaction within hours of posting.
As for booking, I, unfortunately, can't guarantee you will get 100% of the gigs you apply for, BUT I'm confident you can raise your rates by at least 10% (to start) just by using this video.
100% Live and Authentic
Talent buyers don't care about studio magic. They want to know how amazing you are LIVE! Our films showcase just that.
Stand out from your competition
While most bands try and book shows with the bare minimum effort (i.e. iPhone videos) You'll be able to easily set yourself apart using our films.
Easily get in front of more fans
Your video is easily searchable online and available to watch 24/7, resulting in more fans and better booking opportunities!
The "Guitar Smash Guarantee"
Let's pretend that you had to choose between smashing your guitar or permanently deleting your video. If you wouldn't smash your guitar, we'll keep working with you until you would, or give you your money back.
We understand how important sound quality is for a live band. This is why we go the extra mile to ensure we capture the best possible sound for your film.
We use a mobile recording system to record each instrument and vocal separately and mix later at the studio.
Our splitter system allows us to record an isolated feed, keeping our recording completely separate of any mixing or processing done for the live performance.
Bonus #2 - Creative Collaboration
We rely on your input!
We are confident you'll be blown away with any package you choose, but we want you to be 110% in love with your film.
Every band and show is unique and sometimes this process is more art than science, which is why we build in time at the end of the project for some minor tweaks and adjustments based on your own taste! (i.e. "we need more cowbell in the mix!")
Bonus #3 - Automatic Audience Accelerator
Our complete guide to social media for musicians.
Picture this - we make an incredible video. Now what? This guide will not only show you how to incorporate your new video(s) into your social media routine but also help you create your own valuable and entertaining content for your audience!
Bonus #4 - The Follow-up Formula
*coming soon!*
We've made the video, now it's time to book the shows!
Booking can be a tedious and overwhelming process. But it doesn't have to be!
The easiest way to get gigs is to find ways to make it as easy as possible for venues to say 'yes' to you! (i.e. your cinematic video should help with that!)
Included are my processes and email templates for booking gigs. This guide will help you figure out exactly what to say in your emails, and when to follow up.
Bonus #5 - Content Time Machine
We archive all of your footage.
Come back at any time, even months down the road, for alternate edits or additional media!
Let's say we start off with a sizzle reel. This video gets so much attention online that you want more content! We can put together individual songs from that original shoot that you can post to social media!
Bonus #6 - Live Album Release*
We've got the tracks! Why not release them?
One of the benefits of doing a multi-track recording and studio mix (see bonus #2) is that it can DOUBLE as a live record! This audio is so good that you can release it on Spotify or make it into a CD to sell at shows.
*Included with "select songs" and "concert film" packages.
