Types

Advert

Let's produce a commercial for your business, that will draw attention, raise awareness and convert viewers into consumers.

Following a clear brief, we plan, light and set the scene so that your content sets itself apart, as the market leader. We will edit, animate and sound design to persuade and encourage your target audience to take action.

From smart-phone 'authentic' to 'cinematic' commercials, our production team is scaleable to support your business and can advise options to approach.

We want our in-house team to be creatively challenged, to ensure that your advert performs for your 'push marketing' campaign.

Branded Content Series

Provide value by entertaining, educating and inspiring viewers into doers. Build marketing momentum for your business, with your own branded content series.

Take the concept of a TV show format and apply it to your business. Take the opportunity of YouTube, TikTok or your own gated community, freely distribute the content and build a loyal brand following.

By consistently communicating online, you can test different 'series' to see which creatives perform best. You will steadily build a community and define your brand with associations.

Increase your brand buy-in by sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes access, founder stories, collaborations, challenges and trivia. If that content is shareable or saveable, we would deem it a successful 'pull marketing' campaign.

Animation

Animations are a great way to tell stories, explain complex information and make any subject exciting.

Our animators create storyboards and original illustrations, making sure the content represents your brand’s identity and personality.

Be creatively free, stand out from the competition and simplify complex information.

Process of Media Production?

1. Meet & Brief

We meet you virtually or in-person and get to know your business. You tell us more about the project, the objectives, and any creative ideas you may have in mind.

2. Pre-Production

From this meeting, we confirm the brief, script, storyboard and shot list. Once the project is organised, we schedual and get to work.

3. Production

We arrive on location or setup in our studio. Our animators start illustrating. Our shooters position lights, cameras and action. We capture all the still, sound and footage, following the agreed brief.

4. Post-Production

At the office we back up the footage, stills and start editing. Our animators will have their style frames/anamatics approved and begin animating. We put together a first draft and send it to you for review. We make any requested adjustments and add finishing touches with the colour-grade, sound design and text.

5. Delivery for Activation

We send over the final draft and provide you with a link to download the completed content. It's now ready for you to share and review performance!

Can I have access to RAW footage

We do not send RAW footage to be edited by any additional teams or agencies unless agreed separately. Additional fees may apply.

How long do you keep a back-up for?

We take your content back-up, security, and access very seriously at Shooting Reels.

All your footage is backed up for 1 year as standard.

We have three forms of back-up:

Brian - Your footage is stored on the 'Brian' hard drive while it's being edited. Easy to access with just a click of a button for any quick changes. While on the space, we duplicate and store all footage and edit files as a backup.
Archive - You might need access but it's not instant. I.e: you know you might want to come back to the project in a few months or so.
Tape - Once we finish the project we copy your work to tape - our deep storage device. This is stored in a Fireproof, locked safe in a seperate building. Access to this footage requires at least 48hours notice and requires editor time at additional cost.
