We have watched clients spend real budget on a single polished video, post it once, and hear nothing back. Social platforms reward frequency and native formatting, not production value alone. A vertical cut with captions built for LinkedIn scroll speed will outperform a beautifully lit sixteen by nine spot dropped into a feed as is.
So we plan for social from the shoot itself. That means capturing vertical and horizontal in the same setup, shooting extra b-roll and reaction footage specifically for cutdowns, and building a posting cadence into the deliverable instead of handing over one hero file and calling it done.
Short-form brand and announcement videos cut for LinkedIn and Instagram feed, in both square and vertical formats.
Event cutdowns turning a single day of conference or association coverage into a week of posts: speaker clips, attendee reactions, recap teasers.
Testimonial and social proof clips pulled from full interviews and re-cut short for feed distribution.
Recurring content series for organizations that need a steady publishing cadence rather than one video a quarter.
Our Visit Alexandria social media recap is a straightforward example: real engagement numbers, cut for feed. We have also produced Instagram-specific promos going back to FamilyLifeLine’s Chocoholic Ball and an Instagram teaser for a wedding that was later featured nationally by The Knot. The gallery below is pulled from full productions; ask us about the social cutdowns each one produced.
We start with your posting cadence and work backward: how many pieces a month, on which platforms, for how long. That determines the shoot day, not the other way around. One production day is scripted to generate weeks of native cuts rather than a single asset.
Turnaround on cutdowns is typically faster than a full brand video, since the raw footage is already shot. Ask about a retainer if you need a steady monthly cadence rather than one-off projects.
Associations and nonprofits publishing member and donor content, advocacy groups building an audience around a campaign, and companies that need a consistent LinkedIn presence rather than an occasional one-off video.
