- Creative brief session
- Shot list development
- Styling and prop planning
- Location scouting (if applicable)

Your Deliverables

Frequently Asked Questions
How many videos can you create in one day?
A well-planned content day typically produces 5-8 unique finished pieces, each with platform variants. That's 15-25+ individual files when you count format variations.
Do I need to be on set?
We recommend clients attend at least part of the shoot day for real-time feedback. Remote approval via live stream is also available for out-of-town brands.
