We handle everything from planning and filming to lighting, sound, and editing. You’ll receive clear communication throughout, with guidance on scheduling, on-camera preparation, styling, and more, ensuring your final video looks professional, polished, and authentic.

Timelines vary depending on the project, but most videos are completed within 6 weeks from the initial briefing to final delivery. For events or awards highlights, we can often deliver within 48 hours if required. We always provide a clear timeline before starting.

Costs depend on project type, complexity and crew requirements. As a guide:
- Interview, scripted, and testimonial videos: from $2,350 + GST (half-day shoot + full-day edit)
- Promotional videos: from $3,350 + GST (half-day shoot + full-day edit)
- Event videos: $1,500–$2,300 + GST (4-8 hours coverage, including editing)

Every project is quoted individually, with transparent pricing and no surprises. During your free strategy call, we’ll discuss your goals and provide a tailored quote.

Yes, that’s part of our process. Whether you’re unsure between an interview-style or scripted video, we’ll help you identify the best format to achieve your goals and connect with your audience.

We’ll start with a casual chat to understand your goals and get to know your organisation. Once we know what you want to achieve, we can suggest the type of video, format, and approach that will deliver the best results.

We need details like:
- Number of shoot days/half-days

- Who will be on camera

- Existing scripts or briefs

- Locations and number of setups

- References or examples of previous videos you like

- Desired video length and number of cut-downs

This helps us provide an accurate, tailored quote. If you don’t know that information, that’s fine. We can work it out on a discovery call.

- Interview videos capture authentic stories and emotions, highlighting your people and their impact. Our team asks the right questions and listens actively to elicit genuine responses.

- Scripted videos communicate clear, precise messages. Perfect for information-driven content or explainer videos. We often combine both approaches to balance authenticity and clarity.

Yes, clients can ask questions, especially on lower-budget shoots, though we recommend having a Producer/Camera Operator team so our producer can conduct the interview and you can oversee the interviews from a high-level overview perspective.

You know your business best. Providing a guide, draft, or brief ensures the content is accurate and meaningful. For interviews, we don’t stick verbatim to questions, which allows us to capture genuine answers. For scripted videos, we can refine your brief or draft into a polished, clear script.

With 1,000+ interviews filmed, our relaxed, conversational approach draws out confident, natural responses, even from those who aren’t comfortable on camera.

At minimum: Just a Camera Operator. We usually suggest a Producer + Camera Operator team. The Producer handles the interviewing or directing talent with their on-camera delivery, while the camera operator shoots, lights and directs the action. We may recommend a sound recordist, camera assistant or gaffer for larger shoots or tight schedules.

Absolutely. We create short, vertical edits optimised for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn to maximise engagement and reach.

Promo videos communicate the purpose, outcomes, and value of your programs, services or initiatives. They can be fully scripted, interview-based, or a mix of both, depending on your goals.

What’s the best aspect ratio for social media?
- Vertical (9:16): Instagram, TikTok

- Wide (16:9): YouTube and other longer-form platforms

Optimising aspect ratios ensures your content reaches as many viewers as possible.

We need the event location, time, and a basic rundown. Connecting us with your AV team is helpful so we can liaise with them on connecting to their system and capturing audio from speeches

Yes. We capture cinematic b-roll, authentic speeches, and interviews to tell the full story and highlight key moments.

Typically 1–2 minutes for highlight videos, with optional shorter vertical edits for social media.

Authenticity is key. We follow a framework that shows:

1. Life before using your service or program
2. How they were helped by you
3. Life after working with you

This approach builds trust, credibility and inspires action.

Yes. You can ask the questions yourself, but we recommend a Producer/Camera Operator team to ensure smooth, professional interviews.

Yes. We provide filming only services by an experienced camera operator and provide footage ready for your in-house editing team.

Yes, across WA, nationally and internationally managing logistics, travel, and data backup.

- Videographer: Often a one-person team handling filming, lighting, sound, and editing.

- Cinematographer/Director of Photography (DOP): titles that come from traditional filmmaking. These two titles mean the same thing. They’re part of a bigger team with clearly defined roles, focused on visual storytelling and they often have a lighting (gaffer) and camera assistant working in their team.

These titles are often interchangeable in corporate and commercial video production. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what the operator calls themselves, we focus on the quality of the work, not the title. Depending on the goal of the production and budget, we scale up and down with crew as needed, but we’ll never add a crew member you don’t need.

Yes. We shoot on industry-standard Sony FX6 and A7s3 camera kits, and deliver them ready for your in-house editor or post-production team.

Yes, we offer flexible half-day, full-day, or multi-day rates for projects of all sizes.

Yes. LinkedIn is a highly effective platform for B2B promotion and engaging stakeholders. We optimise content for visibility and impact on this platform.

A social media reels production service is a video-production offering designed to create short‐form, vertical video content tailored for platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn Stories, and YouTube Shorts. It’s for when you need professional content for your business or organisation, shot and edited quickly. It includes full-service filming, editing, and delivery in vertical format so you receive ready-to-publish content that aligns with your brand and audience. At Upside Studios, we offer both ongoing month-to-month packages and one-off event-based shoots.

- Monthly package: A planned, repeat service for consistent posting, delivering a set number of videos each month.
- Ad-hoc shoot: A one-time shoot for an event or activation, delivered quickly as a short reel. Monthly packages focus on consistency; ad-hoc shoots focus on speed and relevance.

A regular monthly package usually delivers about 30 vertical videos per month, often created in one full-day shoot.

Yes. Ad-hoc reels often include short interviews to give context, while regular packages usually feature scripted segments.

-How much does a social media reel cost in Perth?
Express sessions start at $550 for two hours of filming and a 60-second edited video with captions, ready for posting.

Vertical 9:16 is best for mobile-first platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. Widescreen 16:9 works for YouTube and TV platforms. The right format ensures better reach and engagement.

Videos may display incorrectly, reducing visibility, engagement, and audience connection.

We take your main video and create 3–5 short, vertical edits for social media. These highlight the best moments, making it easier to engage viewers on multiple platforms.
