Half-Day Social Shoot
Promotional and testimonial videos for small businesses
Your team in their own words, and your work as it really happens. A videographer and a small film crew spend half a day at your business, and the video production that follows gives you six short videos for your website and your own channels.
£495 for half a day on site and six edited videos
Up to four hours of filming, anywhere in Bath or Bristol, with travel included. A one-off price, with no subscription.
Testimonial and promotional videos from one shoot
Testimonial videos
Short interviews with you and your staff: why you started, what you do best, and what customers ask you most. Customers appear only when they have agreed in writing.
Promotional videos
Your premises and your work in action, edited into short marketing videos with captions and music licensed for business use.
Video for your website
The video content is yours to use on your website and your own channels, with no time limit. All six are vertical, the shape a phone shows full screen.
Consent and music, handled properly
Anyone who can be recognised in a video is personal data under UK law, and popular tracks on Instagram and TikTok are not licensed for business accounts. The team plans for both.
- Written release forms for everyone interviewed.
- A notice at the door on the shoot day, so customers know filming is taking place.
- Customers filmed only with their agreement.
- You see every video before it is posted, and any clip is removed on request.
- Music that is cleared for business use, never a trending sound that a business account cannot use.
What you get
- Six vertical videos, each 15 to 60 seconds long, for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook.
- Captions on every video, because most people watch with the sound off.
- Music licensed for business use, or a version with no music so you can add a track from the platform's own business library.
- The finished files within five working days of the shoot, with one round of changes included.
- Use of the videos on your own channels and website, with no time limit.
How it works
- A 15-minute call. What you sell, who buys it, and what the videos need to do.
- A plan and a date. A one-page shot list and the consent forms arrive before the day, so nothing is a surprise.
- The shoot. Up to four hours on site with a small crew, planned around your opening hours.
- The edit. Six finished videos within five working days.
Who it is for
Independent businesses in Bath and Bristol that customers visit in person: cafes and restaurants, hair and beauty salons, clinics, shops, studios and gyms.
Who films it
The team is led by Howard Allson, who trained in film at Central Saint Martins and the National Film and Television School. Every video is checked the way a film frame is checked: one clear subject, lit so it reads at a glance.
Everything a shoot includes, consent and music, and the questions businesses ask: the Half-Day Social Shoot.
