Video Shoots

The videos people remember your brand by.

The offer01 / 08

Brand films, product videos, founder interviews and ad creative — planned around one message, shot properly, and edited with full colour and sound. Every shoot day is built so it also produces the vertical clips, stills and ad hooks your channels need for the rest of the month.

Footage that keeps producing content long after the shoot day is over.

The thesis02 / 08

A shoot day is inventory, not an event.

01
02
03
04

The brands that stay visible are not the ones with the best single video. They are the ones with a deep shelf of footage — enough that every channel can be fed next week without booking anything.

Most video gets briefed as an occasion: one day, one location, one deliverable, repeat next quarter. That model breaks the moment your ads need fresh creative every fortnight, or your feed needs something on Tuesday, or a retailer asks for a fifteen-second cut by Friday. You end up hiring a different freelancer for each and nothing looks like the same brand.

We plan the shoot backwards from the calendar instead. Before a camera is booked we know which posts, which ads and which page headers this day has to fill — so the shot list carries wide frames and vertical frames, cutaways and stills, hero moments and filler moments, all in one lighting setup.

The result is a library, not a file. One directed day usually carries a month of publishing, and the same footage keeps earning through ad testing long after the crew has gone home.

How we do it03 / 08

Four things we will not compromise on

Each of these is specific enough that you can hold us to it on the first project.

  1. 01

    Planned as a month, not a day

    The shot list is written against your posting calendar and your ad plan, so nothing gets filmed that has nowhere to go.

  2. 02

    Framed wide and vertical in the same take

    Vertical is composed on set, not cropped afterwards. Faces stay centred, product stays whole, nothing important sits outside the 9:16 safe area.

  3. 03

    Sound treated as half the picture

    Lavs, a boom and a room tone pass on every setup. Bad audio is the fastest way for a good-looking film to read as amateur.

  4. 04

    Edited by the people who shot it

    The edit does not get handed to a stranger. Whoever directed the day knows which take carried the moment, so the cut keeps it.

Process05 / 08

How video shoots runs

Four stages, the same every time, so you always know what is happening and what is expected of you.

  1. 01

    Plan

    We agree the message, the formats and the shot list before anything is booked.

  2. 02

    Prep

    Cast, location, crew and gear are quoted and approved by you first — no surprises.

  3. 03

    Shoot

    A directed day built to feed the whole month, not one video.

  4. 04

    Edit

    Cut, grade, sound and delivery in every size your channels need.

Common misconceptions06 / 08

What people get wrong about this

  • 01Higher production value means slower turnaround.

    It means the opposite when the day is planned. Social cutdowns land inside the same week; only the long-form film waits for grade and mix.

  • 02Phone footage is fine now, so a crew is a waste.

    Phones are fine for moments. They are not fine for lighting a product, holding focus on a founder, or recording usable sound in a busy room.

  • 03We should shoot first and work out the edit later.

    That is how brands end up with 400GB of unusable footage. The edit is decided on the shot list, before call time.

Assets from one shoot day

Typical planned day. Exact count depends on setups.

7 days
Shoot to first delivery

Social cutdowns. Long films run to the agreed date.

Questions08 / 08

Video Shoots, answered

  • A planned day usually yields the hero film, six to twelve vertical cutdowns and a stills set — enough to carry a month of posting. The exact count depends on how many setups, products and locations we cover, and we agree it on the shot list before booking.
