Important Notes About B-Roll

It's important to understand that quality B-roll requires:

  • Extra filming time and setup

  • Additional lighting considerations

  • More complex editing

  • Extra production planning

  • More equipment in some cases

This is why B-roll footage comes at a premium price - the additional production value requires significant extra effort to execute properly.

Special Request: Please do not request a high quantity of B-roll while communicating it is "JUST B-roll." We understand what's involved in creating professional B-roll footage, and we price our services accordingly based on the actual production requirements.

Effective Product Briefs

The quality of your product brief directly impacts the quality of our UGC content. We appreciate concise, clear briefs that focus on essentials:

  • Preferred Format: Canva presentations are our preferred format for briefs (we also accept Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides)

  • Key Elements Every Brief Should Include:

    • Clear product features and benefits to highlight

    • Specific talking points or messaging guidelines

    • Examples of tone and style you're aiming for

    • Target audience information

    • Do's and don'ts for your brand

    • Required hashtags or disclosures

  • Remember: We are UGC creators, not marketing agents. While we understand your product, your brief should provide the marketing direction.

  • Visual References: Include screenshots or links to UGC content you admire

  • Length: The most effective briefs are 1-3 pages/slides of focused content

  • Specificity: Be specific about what you want, but avoid overly restrictive scripts

  • Technical Requirements: Clearly state dimensions, format, and platform requirements

Pro Tip: The clearer your brief, the fewer revisions needed and the faster we can deliver your content.


Communication Guidelines

To ensure an efficient collaboration process:

  • Streamlined Communication: Please keep emails concise and focused

  • Consolidated Feedback: Send revision requests in a single, organized email

  • Response Time: We typically respond within 1-2 business days

  • Multiple Revisions: Excessive back-and-forth communications may result in additional administrative fees

Note that projects requiring extensive negotiation or numerous email exchanges may lead to higher starting rates in future collaborations due to the additional time investment required.
