PRODUCER-LED BRANDED CONTENT

From brief to final cut.

One producer.

Pre-production, directing, shooting, editing, delivery — run end-to-end through one relationship.

Half-day shoot · 3 assets · Fixed fee

  • The logo for Aramix in capital letters with a gray color on a black background.
  • Black and gray logo with the word "ARB" inside a rounded rectangular border.
  • The image is blurred and indistinct, making it impossible to determine what is depicted.

  • Gray background with no distinguishable objects or features.
  • FNB logo with a grey tree symbol and the text 'FNB' on a black background.

THE PROBLEM

Most branded content goes through five different people before anyone picks up a camera.

The brief loses shape. The shoot is run by someone who didn't write it. The edit goes to a third party who wasn't on set. The result is nothing like your vision.

THE DIFFERENCE

One producer runs the full process.

The brief that's locked in pre-production is the brief that lands in the final delivery. No translation errors. No handoff gaps. No version control across three suppliers.


01

Pre-production

Brief, planning, scheduling — locked before a camera is touched.


02

Directing

On-set creative lead — the same person who wrote the brief.


03

Shooting

Camera, lighting, capture — no third-party crew guessing the vision.


04

Editing

Cut, grade, sound — one editor with full context from day one.


05

Delivery

Final assets — ready to publish. No revisions lost in email chains.


CLIENT RESULTS

COMMON QUESTIONS

What you're probably wondering.


The First Cut is designed to prove the working relationship before either of us commits to a bigger engagement. Half a day is enough to demonstrate the process — and you leave with usable assets regardless of what comes next.

Why a half-day and not a full production day?


What if I don't need a video — just photography?

The hero asset is your call: 30–90 second video, or a 10-image finished photography set. The rest of the process is the same.


What does "credits toward your next engagement" actually mean?

4,000 of the R8,000 fee is applied as a credit if you book a Production Sprint or Content Partnership within 30 days. So your effective entry cost to a longer engagement drops to R4,000.


Do you work outside Cape Town?

Yes. Based in Cape Town, available nationally and internationally. Travel and accommodation are handled separately for productions outside the Western Cape.


What if I need something bigger right now?

Fill in the form and select Production Sprint, Campaign Production, or Content Partnership — I'll respond with a scoping call and proposal from there.


The lowest-risk way to start is The First Cut.

Half a day. R8,000 fixed. Three assets delivered in 7 working days. Half the fee comes back to you the moment the relationship goes longer.
