Brand videography, Melbourne.
Every cut made for where it runs.
A Melbourne hybrid shooter making the story driven films that show what a business does well, cut for the channel they run on: website, YouTube, LinkedIn and social, with paid ads when they are part of the plan.
One story, a strategy for every channel.
A brand film carries a business's story to people who have not met it, and each piece of content gets its own strategy. The website and YouTube take the longer 16:9 film. Social takes the quick, snappy cuts, 60 to 90 seconds for the feed and 15 seconds for a paid ad. Every frame is shot on the full sensor and rotated into 9:16 in the edit, so the vertical cut keeps the dynamic range and the pixels a phone cannot match. For stills from the same day, see brand photography and video.

The things people ask first.
What is a brand film, and what do we get?
A story driven film about your business for the website and YouTube, plus the social media cuts and a paid ad version from the same shoot. One day on site, one invoice, one set of files ready to publish.
Can we get photos on the same day?
Yes. As a hybrid shooter I capture the stills and the video from the same setups, so headshots, product shots and the photo library land in the same delivery as the films.
What does a brand film cost?
It depends on the story, the locations and the cuts you need. A brief call comes first, then a quote showing shoot days, crew and post production editing included, so the numbers are clear before you commit.
Do you write the script?
I help shape it. Most brand films start with a call about the audience, the message and where it will live. Interviews are then planned around the points you need to land, so the story is written with you.
How long is the shoot, and what do we need to prepare?
Most brand films are a single day on site. Before it you get a short plan: who speaks, which spaces we use and the order of the day, so nobody waits around and the business keeps running.
Can you film customer testimonials?
Yes. Interviews are filmed at their workplace or on location with simple lighting, then cut to the strongest moments. I can also shoot the business in action around them, so the film shows the work as well as the words.
Do you fly drones for brand films?
Yes, when the brief needs it. Aerial shots are planned around airspace and any approvals before the shoot day, then cut in with the ground footage so the film reads as one piece.
How many cuts do we get?
Usually a main film, then shorter cuts for the website, YouTube, LinkedIn and ads, with vertical versions where the feed needs them. The number is set in the brief and agreed in the quote, before the shoot day.
How long until the film is ready?
A first cut lands in about two weeks, then one round of notes and the final files follow within a few days. Social media cuts and the paid ad version are delivered with the final.
Who owns the footage?
You do, for your own marketing, in perpetuity. I keep the right to show the work in my own portfolio unless the project is confidential.
Bring the business, with or without a brand yet.
No brand guide yet is fine. I build the guide, the logo, the graphics and the motion templates, then plan, shoot and cut the content and hand it back, or schedule it for you.
