what we can do for you

more for less

We’re all about ideas, and living off ramen has taught us how to make the most out of tight wallets. We know from experience that high production value and captivating concepts don’t require huge, excessive budgets to pull off. Great ads can be made at significantly lower costs simply by thinking beyond the traditional and utilizing new, creative approaches to production.

commercials and creative media from scratch

For a very reasonable price, Sweet and Sour offers filling three-course advertisements, including strategy, creative, and video production (including editing and post). Digital videos are our specialty, and we like to focus on web ads that target a young, dynamic audience. If you are looking for some quick takeout, we also offer marketing strategy and creative consulting.

Ordering is simple enough, just tell us your goal/product/message and we will cook up the best strategy to approach the target audience, let you sample a range of creative ideas, and serve your favorite one. We have a knack at infusing any message or product with tons of creativity and flavor - just look below to view our satisfied clients and see our work to sample our products.

video production and editing

Have an idea already? We’re more than happy to help bring your vision to life, whether it be directing, producing, shooting, or editing. If you’re curious about our ingredients, we like to use high-def video cameras such as the Sony EX1 and Z5U with 35mm adapters and film lenses to create a film stock look at a significantly lower cost. We are well networked within the Durham and Chapel Hill film community and can draw upon experienced crew and actors at great rates. We use Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Color, and Soundtrack Pro for editing and post. In addition, we are also experienced in shooting live shows and performances and DVD design and editorial.
