Social media video production Social video, shot vertical from the start

Nobody stops scrolling for a clip that was obviously cropped from something else. We plan and shoot for Reels, TikTok and Shorts from the start, and we've produced thousands of social pieces, for clients and for the channels we run ourselves.

Why we shoot vertical on purpose

You can crop a horizontal video into a vertical frame, and plenty of brands do. It shows. Heads get cut off, on-screen text is too small, people drift out of the frame, and the first second, the one that decides whether anyone keeps watching, was never planned as an opening.

When social is part of the plan from the start, the video is built for the feed. We frame for 9:16 on set. We plan the hook before we film it. We leave space for captions and text. And we shoot a batch of videos in one session, so a single production day fills weeks of posts instead of producing one clip.

We’ve produced thousands of social media pieces, and we publish our own content too, on Fleet Freedom and Andy’s Workshop, the YouTube channels we own. For a client, we created Mustard Squad.

Two ways to get social content

From footage you already have. Event recaps, brand films and interviews all contain good vertical clips. We cut them for social starting at $350 each.

From a dedicated social shoot. A production day starts at $1,500. We plan the topics and hooks with you, film a batch of vertical videos, and deliver an edit package sized to how often you post.

Social that connects to everything else

Social cuts are often the most-watched output of a bigger shoot. Pair them with event video coverage, corporate video production or a YouTube channel we produce, and one shoot works across every platform. See all starting prices on the video production pricing page.

Made for the feed

Platform-ready files for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, named and organized so posting is easy.

Starting prices
