Shot in batches so one production day covers months of posting
Social media video production in Indianapolis
Social needs volume, and volume is a planning problem rather than a filming one. We shoot in batches, vertical first, captioned and built to work with the sound off.

What makes social video work?
The problem with social is never one video. It is the fortieth one, three weeks in, when nobody has time to make anything and the calendar is empty. Which is why treating it as a series of one off shoots is the expensive way to do it.
We plan a batch day around a content calendar: multiple setups, multiple formats, one crew, one location. You leave with enough to post for a quarter. If you need a single hero piece rather than volume, look at promotional video.
PERFECT FOR:
Volume, keeping channels fed
This is perfect for you if you're...
Posting inconsistently because making content takes too long
Running paid social and burning through creative faster than you can replace it
Launching a channel and needing a backlog before you start
Having a team who are good on camera but no time to film
Needing vertical versions of things you already shot horizontally

A conversation about what the video has to achieve, who it's for, and where it runs. We'll tell you if the format you asked for is the right one.
Pre-Production
Concept, script, shot list, locations, scheduling and casting where needed. Nothing gets filmed until you've approved the plan.
Production
Our crew on location with our own equipment.
Edit & Delivery
First cut for your notes, then colour, sound and final delivery in every format you need.

Why us for social content
Batch filming only works if the planning is done properly. Ten setups in a day means ten wardrobe changes, ten lighting resets and a running order that does not collapse at eleven in the morning. We plan to the minute and shoot vertical natively rather than cropping down afterwards.
