Why social video works now

Your audience decides in the first second. Short, vertical, sound off first, captions on. That's how people watch now, so that's how we shoot.

The gap most brands hit isn't ideas, it's supply. You need a steady stream of good clips, not one hero film a year. We build that stream from a single well run shoot day, so your feed stays fed without a scramble.

Built for every platform

We frame and cut for where the video actually lives, so nothing looks stretched, cropped or borrowed from somewhere else.

Reels, TikTok, Shorts

Vertical 9:16, hook in the first second, captions on by default.

LinkedIn

Considered, credible cuts that suit a professional feed and a B2B audience.

Instagram and Facebook feed

Square 1:1 and 4:5 versions sized to earn the pause in a busy feed.

YouTube

Longer 16:9 edits for the channel, plus Shorts pulled from the same footage.

Paid and organic

Ad cutdowns and hook variants when you're running spend, alongside the organic set.

The batch day, and why it pays

Here's how the money works. The cost is in setting up the day, the crew, the kit and the location, not in each individual clip. So we plan the shoot to capture five to eight clips at once.

  1. 01

    One setup, many clips

    We line up multiple concepts and angles so the crew keeps rolling all day.

  2. 02

    Lower cost per video

    Spread that one shoot day across five to eight cuts and the per clip cost drops sharply.

  3. 03

    A consistent look

    Same day, same light, same crew, so the whole set feels like one brand, not a patchwork.

  4. 04

    A content runway

    You walk away with weeks of posts ready to schedule, not a single video to ration.

  5. 05

    Multi format from one day

    Every clip comes back in the sizes you need, vertical, square and wide, from the same footage.

Social cuts or a full shoot?

A common question is whether to book social clips on their own or fold them into a bigger video production day, like a brand story shoot. Here's the honest comparison.

Why Zarco Creative for social video

Oscar spent fifteen years in live news at Network Ten, and has done broadcast work since. That means a trained eye and calm hands, now pointed at short form. One contact, Jess, runs the whole thing start to finish, so you brief once and it's handled. It's the same set and forget approach we bring to every job, and it's why teams at PwC, Bunnings, Penfolds and the Australian Turf Club keep working with us.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How much does social media video production cost in Sydney?

Short-form social cuts come inside every shoot rather than being quoted as a separate job, so the cost sits inside the video you're already making. A corporate video with a set of cuts runs $3,000 to $12,000 + GST. Our cost guide has the ranges.

What do you need from us to quote?

Not much. What you want to post, which platforms, roughly when and where we'd film. A few lines is plenty. If something's missing, Jess will call and ask rather than send you a form. You'll hear back within one business day.

How much of my time will this take?

Less than you'd think. A short brief call, a look at the plan for the batch day, then two rounds of notes on the cuts. Jess books the crew and sends the call sheet. One shoot day gives you weeks of posts to schedule.

How many videos can you film in one day?

Usually five to eight social clips from a single shoot day, sometimes more for simple setups. We plan the day around your concepts so the crew keeps rolling. It's the cheapest way to build a run of content.

What platforms do you make video for?

All the main ones. Vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, square and 4:5 for feed, and wider 16:9 for LinkedIn and YouTube. Every clip comes back in the sizes you actually need.

Do I need a hero video as well, or just social cuts?

You don't need both. If you just want a steady feed, a batch social day covers it. If you've got a bigger shoot booked, we can pull social cuts from that same footage so it does double duty.

How long until we get the videos back?

The first edit of your social cuts lands within 10 business days of the shoot. We build two rounds of review in, so you can tweak captions or edits before anything goes live.

Do you write the concepts, or do we?

Either way works. We can develop the concepts and simple scripts off your brief, or run with ideas your team already has. You sign off the plan before we shoot, so it's always your call.

Where we film

Across Sydney and greater NSW.

Based in Sydney, filming across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
