See exactly what a professional content day produces for beverage brands. From hero spots to platform variants, understand what to expect from your shoot.

TL;DR
  • A single content day typically yields 5-8 finished pieces
  • Hero spots, variants, and platform edits maximize shoot efficiency
  • Plan for vertical (9:16), square (1:1), and horizontal (16:9) formats
  • Multiple lengths (6s, 15s, 30s, 60s) from single captures

The Content Day Model

A content day is our most efficient production format for beverage brands. Rather than scoping individual videos, we plan a single shoot day designed to capture everything you need for weeks of content.

Here's exactly what you can expect.

Pre-Production (Before the Shoot)

What's Included

  • Creative brief session
  • Shot list development
  • Styling and prop planning
  • Location scouting (if applicable)
  • Schedule and call sheet

Your Deliverables

  • Approved creative brief document
  • Detailed shot list
  • Production timeline

  • Product hero shots
  • Liquid pours and action

Variant Content

Different angles, backgrounds, or messaging approaches on the same concept. Essential for A/B testing ads.

  • Alternative hooks
  • Different backgrounds
  • Various product angles

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.
