A little bit about Balloon Tree Productions

Balloon Tree Productions are on a mission to rid your world of boring video through humour and clarity with stories that actually engage audiences.

An Extension Of Your Team

The usual stress of production disappears through a calm and honest process. Balloon Tree Productions act as an extra arm for your team, handling everything from the first idea to the final delivery.

Your project gets the professional polish it deserves. Planning and editing are taken care of so you can focus on the rest of your job!

Smart Video Built On Trust

Balloon Tree Productions started in 2011 to help Melbourne brands swap the usual corporate noise for clear, human communication. Video is only as smart as the trust it builds, which is why the Balloon Tree Productions process focuses on making your brand feel as real and reliable as the people watching it.
