When global brands, international news networks, and cultural institutions look to produce high-end video content in South Korea, finding the right local partner is everything.

At Moktan Productions, we are proud to be one of Korea’s premier independent video production companies. Based in the heart of Seoul, we specialize in high-end commercials, branded content, cinematic documentaries, corporate films, and cultural projects.

Vertical video has become an increasingly important part of professional video production. Platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts are built around full-screen vertical viewing, while brands are also increasingly commissioning vertical content for social media campaigns and other digital applications.

At Moktan, we have seen a clear shift in the types of projects we are being asked to produce. In the past, a common approach was to shoot primarily in 16:9 and then create a small number of vertical social media deliverables by cropping the original footage. Increasingly, clients are asking us to shoot specifically vertically from the beginning.

As part of the British Museum’s Korea: 2,000 Years of Creativity exhibition, Moktan Productions was responsible for recording part of the exhibition’s official audio guide, now available through the British Museum Audio App.

In July 2026, Moktan Productions was commissioned by the British Museum to create a film for an audiovisual installation at the entrance of its upcoming Korea exhibition.

The installation was conceived as a visual introduction to the exhibition, connecting historical Korean art with the living traditions and contemporary culture of Korea today. Opening in October 2026, the exhibition provided an opportunity to present Korean creativity to an international audience at one of the world’s most prestigious museums.

A location can play a defining role in a video production.

It can shape the visual identity of a film, determine how a crew works, affect the quality of sound, influence the amount of equipment required, and introduce practical limitations that are impossible to understand fully from a photograph or online listing.

A beautiful location is not necessarily a suitable filming location.

For Moktan Productions, location scouting is an essential part of pre-production. It allows us to evaluate a space before the shoot, identify potential problems, and determine what will be required to turn a location into an effective filming environment.

Video production does not have a standard size. Some projects require a single highly skilled videographer working quickly and independently. Others are best served by a small, flexible crew of three to five people. Larger commercial, branded, event, or international productions may require dozens of crew members, multiple departments, extensive equipment packages, and complex coordination.

Over the years, we have built a diverse body of work filming artists across different disciplines, including painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramicists, calligraphers, printmakers, metalworkers, craftspeople, and designers. These projects take us into studios, workshops, galleries, museums, and other working environments to document not only the finished work, but the process and thinking behind it.

Moktan Productions produced a short vertical documentary for Korean streetwear brand IISE, exploring the traditional Korean craft of nubi (누비) and its influence on the brand’s contemporary fashion.

Since the launch of Frieze Seoul in 2022, Moktan Productions has been involved in the production of Art:LIVE, supporting Frieze’s coverage of one of Asia’s most significant contemporary art events.

In the landscape of Korean video production, Moktan Productions has built a reputation for delivering strong visuals, creative problem-solving, and high-quality end-to-end execution. While many of Moktan’s projects are developed fully in-house, from pre-production through post, an equally important part of the company’s work lies in supporting international productions on the ground in Korea.

Moktan Productions produced a short commercial for L’Artisan Parfumeur’s La Cérémonie de l’Encens, centered on the work of Korean artist Park Ji Hyun. Known for his distinctive technique of burning thousands of holes into hanji paper using incense, Park creates intricate landscapes that explore themes of memory, impermanence, and the balance between creation and destruction.

Moktan Productions supported the production of a short film for KIA centered on the PV5, recipient of the 2026 International Van of the Year award. The film highlights the vehicle’s underlying design philosophy through the perspective of Karim Habib, Head of Kia Global Design, combining conversation-led moments with real-world usage scenarios.

Moktan Productions partnered with Billboard News to produce two artist-driven videos featuring Tetris Kelly during his visit to South Korea in April 2026. Both pieces were filmed within a single day in Seoul, combining a studio-based interview with LE SSERAFIM and an on-location feature with Joshua of SEVENTEEN at Noryangjin Fish Market.

Moktan Productions produced an event film for The Art of Jewellery, a major exhibition held at the Lotte Museum of Art in Seoul from December 2024 to March 2025. Featuring 208 rare pieces spanning nearly 5,000 years, the exhibition presented the private collection of Kazumi Arikawa in its first large-scale public showing at a modern art institution.

Moktan Productions led pre-production and on-location filming for a travel feature highlighting Jeju-do’s inclusion in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2026 list. Selected as one of 25 must-visit destinations worldwide, Jeju was recognized for its volcanic landscapes, coastal scenery, and strong appeal for nature-driven travel.

Moktan Productions partnered with Propaganda Studios to produce an event film for Louis Vuitton’s “Memories of Trunks” pop-up, held in May 2024 at Louis Vuitton East Dosan in Gangnam, Seoul. Developed as a limited-time immersive installation, the pop-up explored the house’s origins in trunk-making through a series of heritage-driven displays and spatial design elements rooted in travel and craftsmanship.

Moktan Productions partnered with Clarendelle, a globally recognized French wine house, to produce a social-first promotional film centered on the relationship between food and wine at JW Marriott Seoul’s Margaux Grill. Designed for digital platforms, the project focuses on how thoughtful pairings can elevate the overall dining experience within a refined restaurant setting.

Moktan Productions led on-set video production for a branded editorial feature published on CNN Health, created for Merz Aesthetics. Titled “The Beauty of Confidence Is More Than Skin Deep,” the campaign centers on Kang So-yeon, known for Single’s Inferno, and explores how confidence is shaped through a balance of athleticism, self-care, and evolving perspectives on beauty.

In 2015, Magpie Brewing Co. and The Beastro in Hongdae collaborated on the Godori Dinner Series, a concept-driven dining event pairing craft beer with a curated multi-course menu. At a time when Seoul’s craft beer scene was still emerging, the series introduced a more experimental format, built around close collaboration between chefs and brewers. Each dinner followed a central theme, with pairings designed to align in flavor and structure, and in some cases, beers developed specifically for the menu.
