In-House Production

What We Make

If It Moves, We Can Shoot It.

Fourteen production disciplines. One production company. Every format handled with the same obsessive attention to craft.

Why Bada Bing

Agency Output. Without Agency Overhead.

We've spent 15 years building the kind of production operation that used to only exist inside major agencies — then made it available to clients who don't want to pay agency rates to access it.

Healthcare & Pharma

50+

Healthcare & Pharma Projects

Vetted. Compliant. Trusted.

We're a credentialed production partner for healthcare and pharmaceutical clients — already vetted, already on approved vendor lists, and deeply familiar with the compliance requirements that keep projects from stalling. If your legal team is part of the approval chain, we already speak that language.

Corporate & Enterprise

Projects Delivered

End-to-End. One Vendor. Zero Headaches.

From pre-production strategy through final delivery, we handle the whole thing. No juggling freelancers, no dropped handoffs between agencies. One point of contact, one invoice, one team that owns the outcome — start to finish.

White-Label Capable

Your Secret Production Weapon.

We've been the production arm behind some of Chicago's best creative shops for years. We show up as your team, deliver on your brand standards, and never take a meeting your client wasn't invited to. White-label, turnkey, and buttoned up.

Post-Production

In-House

Color · Edit · Sound

Edit. Color. Sound. Done.

We don't just shoot it and hand you drives. Our in-house post team handles editorial, color grade, sound design, and mix — all under one roof. The workflow is tighter, the result is better, and you don't need a second vendor to get to the finish line.

Full Production Coordination — Including the Hard Stuff

Union crews, location permits, talent contracts, insurance certificates. We handle the logistics.

The People

Two Founders. One Standard.

Bada Bing is built around the people who own the work — not a revolving door of freelancers. Brian and Pat are on every project.

Brian Hajik

Cinematographer / Co-Founder

Brian Hajik

The guy who makes it happen.

Don't let his low-key personality fool you—Brian's a master of composition, lighting, and movement. He's always looking for that one shot that will make your video unforgettable. He's the quiet force behind the camera, and his dedication to his craft is unmatched.

Patrick Prater

Director / Cinematographer / Co-Founder

Patrick Prater

The eye behind the lens.

They call him the "baby giraffe" for a reason. Patrick's not just tall, he's also got a personality that fills the room. He's the kind of guy you instantly want to be friends with, and his passion for filmmaking is contagious. He'll make sure your project is a success, and you'll have a blast along the way.

The Extended Team

The People Behind the Production.

Every project is only as good as the people on it. Here's who makes the work happen.
