01 Why it pays
Video isn't a nice
to have any more.
Four numbers we didn't make up. Each one is a published benchmark, and each one is named underneath so you can go check it.

That last one is the important one. Bad video isn't neutral. It costs you.
02 The part you're paying for
Before and after
the grade.
Drag the line. The left is what any camera sees. The right is light, color and contrast worked until the food looks like it tastes.
Same frame, same lens, same second. The difference is the hour afterwards, and that's the difference between a photo of your product and an ad for it.
Grade included on every shoot. There is no "raw files only" tier, because raw files don't sell anything.

03 What we shoot
Six things, properly.
Not a stock list. These are the six jobs that come through the shop most, and every frame below is one of ours.
04 One shoot day
Four outputs
from one day.
We don't shoot for a single deliverable. Before the shoot we map where everything runs, then cut the day's work for all of it.
Ads and reels
Framed vertical, on purpose, for the platforms they run on. Not a horizontal cropped into a square and hoped for.
Website footage
Wide cuts and stills with headline room built into the frame, so your hero section doesn't have to fight the photo.
Full-resolution frames that survive a menu, a mailer or a banner. Same file, no reshoot, no upscaling.
Social calendar
Enough usable frames to keep the feed alive for weeks after we've left, instead of three posts and a drought.
05 The honest version
Bad video sells
your competitor.
Quality cuts both ways. After a low-quality video, 60% of consumers engage less with the brand and 23% hesitate to buy at all. Customers can't say why. They just feel it.
Phone footage
Reads as phone footage.
- Mixed color temperature, blown windows, muddy shadows
- Framed for one platform, cropped badly onto the rest
- 60% engage less with the brand afterwards
- Nothing usable at print size when the menu needs reprinting
A planned shoot
Reads as a real business.
- Lighting, glass and grade handled by the people who'll cut it
- Every frame planned for a named destination before the day
- +86% conversion on pages carrying real video
- One shoot feeds ads, site, print and the feed for weeks
