One interview, one morning. Dozens of videos came out of it.
Yes, we make short form video. Twelve to fifteen cuts come off a typical shoot day, sized for LinkedIn, Instagram, and email.
Here is the part most people do not hear until later: we do not sell them by the batch, and there is a reason.
What usually happens
A company decides they need to post more. They find someone who will deliver thirty clips for a flat price. The clips arrive, they get posted, and nothing happens.
Six months later the conclusion is that video does not work for their business.
The clips were fine. What was missing is that nobody decided who they were for or what they were supposed to do. Thirty pieces of content aimed at nobody performs exactly like zero pieces aimed at somebody.
Volume is not the problem
Most manufacturers and contractors we talk to do not have a posting problem. They have an aim problem.
The useful question is not how many videos you need. It is what kind of person can actually hire you, and what would make that person stop scrolling.
For most B2B companies in the Triad, the list of people who can sign a contract with you is short. A few dozen owners, plant managers, facilities directors, or general contractors. You are not trying to reach everyone. You are trying to reach them repeatedly.
That changes what gets made.
Where good clips come from
One shoot day.
We come out, film the work happening, and sit down with the people who do it. The main video comes out of that. So do the cuts.
The cuts aren't leftovers. Deciding which moments carry is the work.
The cuts are not filler pulled from leftovers. They are the moments where somebody said something true, or the machine did something worth watching, and they carry the same weight as the main piece because they came from the same conversation.
On one project a handful of shoot days produced over fifty finished pieces. One night at an event produced twenty eight videos. One trip produced eighty.
None of that required a separate content shoot. It required knowing what we were cutting before we got there.
What you actually get
A typical shoot day produces:
One main video, two to four minutes, for your website and sales conversations.
Twelve to fifteen shorter cuts, thirty to ninety seconds, sized for social and email.
Stills from the same day, since we shoot photo alongside video on most projects.
Enough material to post consistently for six months to a year without filming again.
If you already have footage
Some companies come to us with a drive full of material from a previous shoot and almost none of it used.
That is common and it is usually fixable. Before booking another shoot day, it is worth finding out what is already sitting there. We have told clients to use what they have before spending money on more, and one of them wrote about it.
The short version
We make short form video. It comes out of a shoot day, not a content package.
Buying clips by the batch usually fails because nobody decided who they were for.
The list of people who can actually hire you is shorter than you think, and that is who the content should be built for.
One day of filming should produce a year of material.
If you have footage sitting unused, start there.
We make documentary style video for manufacturing and construction companies across Greensboro and the Triad. Happy to come to you.
