Hooks before cameras
A short list of ideas with hooks and structures, agreed with you before the shoot day.
Social & TikTok
Vertical, native short-form for TikTok, Reels and Shorts — hooks first, made to be watched to the end, and shot in batches so one visit fills a month.
Overview
Short-form video is not a smaller corporate video. It is a different medium with different rules: the viewer has a thumb on the screen and will leave the moment they are bored. Good social media video for Singapore businesses is built around that thumb — a hook in the first second, a reason to stay in the next three, and a payoff worth reaching.
That is why social work here is directed, not just filmed. Before a shoot, you will get a short list of content ideas built around your product, your people and what your audience actually searches for. Each idea has a hook, a structure and a length, so the day on location is about capturing those pieces efficiently rather than hoping something usable turns up.
A lot of social content is landscape footage chopped down to fit a phone. It shows: heads cut off, text crammed into corners, nothing filling the frame. Shooting for vertical from the start means compositions designed for a tall screen, with space left for captions and platform buttons. When a project needs both formats, each set-up is framed so the 9:16 and 16:9 versions both look intentional.
For most brands starting out, the Social Starter package at S$1,800 is the right first step: a half-day shoot plus a set of vertical cutdowns for TikTok, Reels and Shorts — a month of content in one visit. Additional cutdowns cost S$400 each, edited, captioned and delivered in one format. For ongoing work, the edit day rate is S$900.
Singapore audiences scroll in more than one language. Francis directs in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Hokkien, which opens up content for heartland audiences, older customers and regional markets that English-only creative misses — whether that is a hawker stall's story or a brand speaking to Chinese-speaking buyers.
Bring the product, the people and an honest list of questions customers ask you. The questions become hooks; the answers become scripts. Want to understand the format better first? Read the guide to TikTok content for Singapore businesses. Ready to start? Send the brief on WhatsApp.

FAQ
The Social Starter package is S$1,800 for a half-day shoot plus a set of vertical cutdowns. Individual social cutdowns are S$400 each, edited and captioned in one format.
You receive finished files ready to post. Captions and hooks are written into the edits, so your team only needs to upload and schedule.
Yes. Shoots can be planned to give your ads team several hook variations of the same message for testing on TikTok and Meta.
Not necessarily. Product, process and team-led content all work. That said, a founder or familiar face on camera usually builds trust fastest.
Consistency matters more than volume. A batch shoot that produces a few weeks of posts is easier to sustain than filming every week.
