Why you should have a brand film
According to statistics, if people enjoy your video ad it increases the likelihood of them buying from you by a staggering 97% AND it increases your brand recognition by 139% which means having a Brand Film can not only help people notice you, but also remember you and want to hire you specifically because of the connection they had with your Brand video.
What should your brand film "say"?
It should be well made, it should communicate your values, it should be void of third party IP claims, yes, true! But it should at least cover these basics:
Who are you
What do you do
Why does it matter
If your brand film does not answer these questions, immediately and to the point. Do not make one! Taking up people’s time to tell them nothing is selfish and could harm your brand. Planning is key.
Where can you use your brand film?

An Example of a brand film?
When we recently visited Hylton Rutherford’s to shoot a music video, we fell in love with his iron forgery! Such a tactile and immersive way of creating something. We decided that we had to cut something together for him.
