1. The Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A prominent real estate investment firm conducted long-form interviews with six senior executives. While the 16×9 footage contained valuable insights, it was not suitable for social channels. The client needed to extract specific points and personality-driven moments, repurposing them into a series of bite-sized, vertical videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this project the client identified high-impact soundbites – punchy, informative, or inspiring moments – that could stand alone as 30-60 second narratives. I cut the longer, landscape interviews into shorter vertical videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Format Adaptation:<\/strong> I reframed the original 16×9 wide shots into 4:5 vertical format tailored for LinkedIn, ensuring the subjects remained centred with enough breathing room for the LinkedIn user interface and captions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    3. The Production Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The “Core Values” Edit:<\/strong> In addition to individual spotlights, I edited a montage weaving together answers from all six subjects regarding the firm\u2019s core values, creating a unified brand anthem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Branding Package:<\/strong> To ensure the series felt cohesive, I applied opening\/closing bumpers and lower thirds that matched the firm’s corporate branding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      4. The Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First cuts were available within 48 hours. Deliverables included 11 assets consisting of individual thought-leadership clips for each team member and a flagship “Core Values” compilation. The project extended the life and reach of a single afternoon shoot, providing weeks’ worth of ready-to-post content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5. Client Perspective<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      “Glenn has become an instrumental component in our content creation process. He’s been able to take high-level production notes and translate them into seamless videos, has collaborated with some of our other vendors to produce high-quality social content, and is incredibly efficient, often delivering finished work well-before deadline. Glenn is a pleasure to work with and we’d happily recommend his services to anyone.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
