Video is shot on the same day as the stills, which removes a second crew, a second call, and a second invoice. **Direct answer, 57 words.** Bridget Daehler Photography and Media produces video and media for Austin businesses: short form vertical video for Instagram, TikTok, and Reels, brand films, testimonial and founder video, product and process video, and event recap films. Video is shot on the same day as the stills, which removes a second crew, a second call, and a second invoice. ## What does "media" actually mean here? Media means everything that moves. Photography stops time on purpose, and that is still the core of this business. Media is the other half: the fifteen second vertical clip that runs before anyone reads a word, the ninety second film explaining what a company does, the founder on camera, the room filling up at an event. It is a named service now rather than an extra, because that is how buyers shop for it, and because it is what connects a single shoot day to a full month of content. One morning can produce a portrait set, a brand film, and eight vertical clips. ## What is short form vertical video, and why does it fill most of the schedule? Short form vertical video is a 9:16 clip, usually 10 to 45 seconds, cut and captioned for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and vertical paid social placements. It is the highest volume deliverable here. What comes back: clips cut to length, captioned, color graded to match the stills from the same session, audio leveled, and exported with a safe area that keeps text clear of platform interface. Raw b-roll is handed over unedited, so a client's own team can cut more without booking anything. Social-first short form runs $1,500 to $4,000 per project for a half day producing 3 to 8 deliverables. ## What is a brand film, and when is one worth making? A brand film is a single 60 to 90 second piece answering what a business is, who it is for, and why it exists. It lives on a homepage, opens a pitch, and anchors a launch. It should not be commissioned before someone can say the thing out loud in one sentence. It is worth making when something is hard to explain in text: a process, a physical space, a service where the person is the product. It is not worth making when a business needs volume, because one film cannot fill a posting calendar. A 60 to 90 second brand film in Austin runs across one full shoot day with professional audio, color, and edit: $5,000 to $15,000. A multi-day campaign film runs $15,000 to $35,000 or more. Austin rates sit roughly 25% to 40% below Los Angeles and New York for equivalent quality. ## How do testimonial and founder videos get shot? A testimonial video is a customer saying what changed, in their own words. A founder video is the person who built the thing explaining why. Both are interview-led, both live or die on audio, and both are far cheaper in a batch than one at a time. The method: a question list sent in advance so nobody improvises, a controlled room, clean audio capture, and enough b-roll from the same visit that the cut is not ninety seconds of a person talking into a lens. Delivered as a long cut plus short vertical pull-quotes. Three customers in one afternoon at one location cost far less than three visits, because setup, travel, and lighting happen once. A produced 60 to 90 second testimonial runs $400 to $2,000. ## What does product and process video cover? Product video shows the object: on a table, in a hand, in use, from angles a still cannot deliver because the point is motion. Process video shows the making: the kitchen, the bench, the truck loading at 5am. Process footage tends to outperform polished product footage on social, because it is the part people never get to see. Both are shot as a bank of short clips rather than one film, so a single visit yields a month of material. A produced 30 to 60 second product demo runs $300 to $1,500. ## What is an event recap film? An event recap film is the piece a client wants by Monday morning: a 60 to 90 second cut that reads as full and worth attending, plus vertical clips that post while the event is still recent. It is shot alongside the stills at the same event, because a second crew doubles both the footprint in the room and the cost. Typical set: one recap film, six to eight verticals, and raw b-roll. See `/events`. ## Are wedding films available? If wedding films are offered, the honest framing is this: a wedding film and wedding photography are two jobs, and one operator cannot do both at full quality across a full wedding day. The realistic options are a second operator, or a limited scope covering ceremony and toasts. The average Austin wedding runs about $32,400, with videography around $2,080. Photography is confirmed and unaffected. See `/weddings`. ## Why does shooting photo and video on the same day cost less? This is the real argument on this page, and it is arithmetic rather than a slogan. A business that hires separately pays twice for everything that is not the shooting. Two scoping calls. Two shot lists. Two travel charges. Two setups. Two rounds of the same people being directed, usually on two days, so the location gets prepped twice and staff get pulled off work twice. Then two edits arrive with two different color palettes, and the stills and the video do not look like the same brand. One operator, one day, one edit removes all of that, and produces something separate bookings cannot: stills and video of the same moment, which can run together in a carousel or an ad. What that avoids, at going Austin rates. A half day with one camera, one operator, and professional audio is $750. A full day with one operator is $1,500, rising to $3,000 for a three person crew. Post production is $500 per finished minute when arranged before production, $650 afterward, two minute minimum. ## What formats and crops get delivered? Deliverable Format Vertical social video 9:16 MP4, 1080x1920, captioned Square and horizontal 1:1 at 1080x1080, 16:9 at 1920x1080 Brand film master 16:9 full resolution, plus a compressed web version Raw b-roll Original camera files, unedited, no grade Stills from the same day 4:5, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 Captions and audio Captions burned in,.SRT on request. Audio leveled for mobile ## How long does media take to come back? **.** Short form video within 10 business days. Brand and testimonial films within 15, including one revision round. Event recaps within 5, because a recap loses most of its value after the first week. Raw b-roll within 3, always. This matches monthly brand photography, which specifies stills in 7 business days and video in 10 at Signature. ## Who owns the video, and what can it be used for? Every finished asset carries perpetual, unlimited, worldwide usage rights across owned and paid channels, including paid social, web, email, print, and out of home. No re-licensing fees, no expiry. This matches monthly brand photography. That is worth naming, because it is not standard. Elsewhere, expanded usage for 6 to 12 months on paid channels typically adds 25% to 40% to the base rate, and unlimited perpetual rights add 50% to 100%. Bridget retains portfolio rights. ## What does media production cost? **Media production is priced as single-operator photo and video, shot in one day.** Rates sit below full-crew production pricing because one operator shooting photo and video in a single day has a genuinely lower cost base. Media service Media half day, 4 hours, photo and video **$1,250** Media full day, 8 hours, photo and video **$2,400** Short form pack, 5 clips **$950** Short form pack, 10 clips **$1,600** Brand film, 60 to 90 seconds **$3,500 to $6,500** Testimonial or founder video **$1,450** Testimonial batch, 3 subjects, one day **$2,900** Product or process video, half day, 6 clips **$1,100** Event recap, 1 film plus 6 verticals **$1,850** Wedding film Quoted on request Additional finished minute **$450** Rush delivery, 5 business days **Add 30%** ## How does media connect to monthly brand photography? Buying media one project at a time is the expensive way, because every project restarts the clock: new brief, new scope, new setup, new invoice. monthly brand photography is the same work bought monthly. At Signature, $1,500 buys one shoot day producing 40 finished stills, 8 captioned vertical videos, 25 or more raw b-roll clips, a 30 day content calendar, and perpetual usage rights. That is $31.25 per finished asset. Buying 8 clips as a one-off pack above costs $1,600 by itself, with no stills and no calendar. Steady is $850, Flagship is $2,900.
