Your car, at speed.

One person, shoot to edit.

Kobi Hailes plans the shoot with you, films it and cuts it himself.

Kobi has worked with Ferrari, McLaren and Land Rover.

His work, day to day, is on Instagram at @kobihailes. Brand films for businesses that are not about cars start at kokocreative.com.au.

Sharp car, blurred road.

Kobi films from a second car at the same speed, so your car stays sharp and the road blurs. The speed and shutter shown are an example.

Every angle, every detail.

  • Rolling shots

    Filmed from a second car on a quiet road, at legal speeds.

  • The walkaround

    Every panel in one steady move, the way a buyer walks the car.

  • Details

    Wheels, calipers, stitching, light signatures and the paint up close.

  • The cabin

    The wheel, the gauges and the seats, lit for the screen.

  • The cold start

    The first start of the day and the exhaust note, on their own microphone.

  • The road

    A road chosen for the car: the coast, the range, or the city at night.

Picture the first play.

  • Your car on the road you love, filmed from the car beside it.
  • The exhaust note, clean, the way it sounds from the driver’s seat.
  • A buyer watching the walkaround and booking a test drive.

Every frame is your car, filmed on the day.

Do I have to drive?
Only if you want to. You or someone you choose drives your car, and Kobi films from a second car on a quiet road, at legal speeds.
What if it rains?
Kobi watches the forecast and calls it the day before. A move for weather costs nothing.
Can I use it on my listing?
Yes. The Listing gives you 80 photos and a 60-second walkaround in two cuts: one with no music for listing sites, and one with music for social.
What does it cost?
The Listing is $450, The Reel $990, The Run $2,400 and The Feature $4,500, all including GST. Dealer plans start at $495 a car, plus GST.
Where do you shoot?
We come to you, anywhere within 100 km of Brisbane. Further away, we quote travel in our first reply.
How soon can you shoot?
From 2 days out. If you are selling and in a hurry, say so in the chat.
Do you work with dealerships?
Yes: films of stock cars, a monthly plan, launch nights and launch films. Dealer prices are plus GST, and Kobi quotes after a short call.
Who owns the files?
You do. Every film and photo comes as a file to download and keep.
