What We Produce

Vertical. Hook-Led.
Built for the Scroll.

Social-first production is a completely different discipline from traditional video. Vertical framing. Hook in the first 2 seconds. Captions built for silent viewing. Pacing tuned to platform retention curves. Aspect ratios, safe zones, and audio mixes designed for a phone screen — not a cinema.

Most production companies shoot horizontal and crop it. We plan every shot vertically — because how a piece of content is framed on a mobile screen determines whether someone keeps scrolling or stops. We think in 9:16 by default, not as an afterthought.

We produce Instagram Reels, TikTok videos, YouTube Shorts, talking head content, product Reels, UGC-style brand videos, and social-first photography for founders, DTC brands, e-commerce companies, and creators who need content that performs — not content that just looks good on a mood board.

Why CPS Production Is Different
📱
Vertical-first from frame one
We don't shoot horizontal and crop. Every shot is composed for a phone screen — because vertical framing affects retention from the first frame, not just the export format.
Hook-led production
Every video is planned around the first 2 seconds before anything else. We write multiple hooks per concept, test them in the edit, and give you A/B variants to find the winner.
🔁
Batch model — maximum yield
One shoot day produces a full content bank of 15–30 pieces — Reels, Shorts, stills, and Stories. More content per investment, more consistency for your audience.
🌍
Global remote production
We produce across UK, USA, MENA, and Europe through trusted local crew networks. Brief us from anywhere — we deliver content that performs everywhere.

FAQ & Reviews

Questions Answered.
Results Proven.

Everything you need to know before starting your social content production.

What kind of video production do you specialise in?+
We specialise in social-first vertical video production — Instagram Reels, TikTok content, YouTube Shorts, talking head videos, product Reels, UGC-style brand content, and on-camera founder videos. Every piece is planned, shot, and edited specifically for the platform it will live on.
Do you shoot vertically or crop horizontal footage?+
We shoot vertically from the start — every frame is composed for a mobile screen, not shot horizontally and cropped later. The way content is framed for vertical viewing affects retention from the first frame, and we plan every shot with that in mind.
How many pieces of content do you produce per shoot day?+
Our batch production model typically produces 15–30 pieces of content per shoot day — Reels, Shorts, stills, and Stories all in one session. Multiple hooks and formats are shot for each concept to enable A/B testing and maximise content output from a single shoot investment.
Do you write the scripts and hooks?+
Yes. Hook writing and script direction are included in every production. We write hooks based on what's performing on each platform, test multiple opening variations, and build scripts around platform retention curves — not traditional video scripts that lose viewers in the first 3 seconds.
Can you direct founders and non-actors on camera?+
Yes — and this is one of our specialisms. We use teleprompters, coaching, and direction techniques that help founders and non-professional spokespeople come across as natural and authoritative. You don't need to be a trained presenter to produce great talking head content with us.
How quickly do you deliver finished content?+
Post-production turnaround is typically 24–48 hours per piece of short-form content after the shoot day. A full content bank of 15–30 pieces is delivered within 5–7 business days. Rush delivery is available on request — mention your deadline when you get in touch.
Do you produce content globally?+
Yes. We produce social content across UK, USA, MENA, Europe, and South Asia through trusted local crew networks in each market. We manage the full production remotely — brief, direction, and delivery — regardless of where you are in the world.
Client Reviews

"CPS produced a full Reels content bank for our DTC skincare brand in one shoot day — 22 pieces of content. Within 2 weeks of posting we had a Reel hit 1.2M views and our DMs were flooded with purchase enquiries. The hook they wrote was the difference. Genuinely changed our business."

PM
Priya Mehta
Founder, DTC Skincare Brand — London, UK

"We needed vertical content for our restaurant's Instagram and TikTok that actually felt native — not polished and corporate. CPS understood that immediately. They produced 18 pieces of content in one day. Three went viral on TikTok and we had a 3-week waitlist within a month. Unbelievable ROI."
