A Melbourne hybrid shooter making the films a business publishes, from the long form website and YouTube piece to the social media cuts and paid ads, with the stills captured on the same day.
Every film in the family comes from one production standard: the same crew, the same grade and one invoice. Each brief is scoped as a fixed fee against the shoot days and the edit, then shot to a plan so one day's footage cuts into a brand film, a paid cut and a vertical version for the feed. Construction and aerial work follow the same method on their own pages.
Brand, product, event, construction and ad films, cut for the screen they run on.
Shorter than instinct suggests. Sixty to ninety seconds covers most brand films, fifteen to thirty for paid ads, two to three minutes for a case study where the story earns it. Length follows the job the video is doing.
Yes. Stills and video come off the same setups on the one day, so you book one person instead of two crews, and the photos match the film.
Quoted as a fixed fee against the brief. Shoot days and edit length move the number, not the running time. Say what the video has to do and the quote comes back with the scope written beside it.
Yes, built on the timeline while the footage is open, not cropped from the landscape cut afterwards. Say at booking that you want them, so the framing on the day leaves room for both.
Yes. Send the brand guide or a few frames you like and the lighting, colour and crop are set to it before the day, so the new film sits beside what you already publish.
Two to four weeks for most work: about a week of scheduling, the shoot day, then one to two weeks of edit with a revision round. Talent, several locations or legal approvals take longer.
You get a commercial licence in perpetuity for your own marketing on every platform, with no media buyout. I keep copyright and the right to show the work. Raw footage is available on request, best agreed before delivery.
Revisions on the delivered set are part of the job, not an extra. The edit includes a revision round, and we agree the shot list and the look up front so notes stay small.
Yes. Every track is commercially licensed for your use and the licence is included in the fee. Unlicensed music is the usual reason a finished video is muted or pulled down months after it was posted.
Send what the video has to do, roughly when, and where it will live through the contact page. I come back with a fixed quote and the scope written beside it.
