What to Shoot & How to Film It
These videos can be filmed on a smartphone in natural light. Simple is better — authenticity builds more trust than production quality.
01
Application Tutorial (~8 min)
Film in a real client or personal property bed
Show the whole bale being opened and fluffed
Capture the shake-from-waist-height spreading motion
Show depth measurement (ruler in frame) and finished result
Film in morning light, use phone stabilizer or tripod
02
Product Comparison (~3 min)
Hold both needle types side by side in natural outdoor light
Show the 14" vs 9" length difference clearly
Show them spread in a small test area — color comparison
Film close-up with portrait mode for texture shots
03
Before & After Time-Lapse
Lock camera/phone on a tripod — same exact angle the whole time
Film the bare bed for 5 seconds, then application, then finished
Even a simple cut-edit (before / after) works great
Choose a bed with good visual contrast — clear before/after difference
04
Delivery Walk-Through (~2 min)
Film the freight truck arriving and the liftgate in action
Show the pallet on the driveway — scale matters
Open a bale on camera — show how it fluffs and expands
Keep it casual and real — authenticity beats polish
