Every brand in Dubai knows it should be posting video. Most post nothing, or post a few clips when someone remembers, and the feed looks abandoned. The problem is rarely ideas. It is that filming one video at a time is expensive and slow, and the result rarely matches the brand.
We fix that with batch production. One planned shoot day produces weeks of content: short vertical videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn, plus stills, all in your brand's look and voice. Each piece is planned around a purpose, whether that is a product, an offer, a question your customers ask or a glimpse behind the scenes, and delivered edited, captioned and sized for each platform.
Social media video at Sayso is produced by our own film team, which has made eleven commercial films including IDA x Marriott and Nahaté x Zuma. The same eye for light and story works on a vertical phone screen as on a cinema screen.
What is included
- A content plan: themes, formats and a posting calendar built around your business and your customers' questions
- Scripts, hooks and shot lists for every video before the shoot, so nothing is improvised on the day
- Batch shoot days at your location or in a studio, producing a month or more of content in one go
- Presenter, founder and staff coaching, so people who are not used to cameras look natural
- Product, food and interior filming with proper lighting, sound and movement
- Editing for each platform: vertical, square and landscape, with captions, graphics and licensed music
- Arabic and English captions and on screen text
- Thumbnails, cover frames and stills for the grid and for ads
- Delivery in a shared folder, labelled by platform and date, ready to schedule
- Monthly review of what performed and a plan for the next batch
How it works
1. Brief
We look at your channels, your competitors' feeds and what your customers ask. We agree the goals, the platforms, the tone and how often you need to post.
2. Plan
A content calendar for the batch, scripts and shot lists for each video, a shoot schedule and a fixed price per batch. You approve every idea before the shoot.
3. Shoot
A compact crew films the whole batch in one or two days, moving through the shot list. We film extra angles and reactions so the editor has choices.
4. Edit
Each video is cut for its platform with captions, graphics and music. You review a first set, we adjust the style, and the rest follow in the agreed look.
5. Deliver
Finished videos, covers and captions delivered in a shared folder, organised by platform and date. We can schedule them for you or hand them to your social media team.
How many videos do we get from a shoot day?
It depends on the formats and the locations. A single location day with a clear plan produces a batch that covers weeks of posting. We agree the number and the mix in the plan, so you know what the day delivers before it is booked.
Can you edit footage our team shoots on phones?
Yes. We cut phone footage from your team into the same style as the produced videos, and we show your team simple ways to film that make the edit better. A mix of polished and everyday content keeps the feed honest.
Do you write the captions and post the videos?
We write on screen text and captions in English and Arabic as part of the edit. Posting and scheduling can be handled by your team or by our social media management service, where the same people plan, post and report.
Who produces the videos?
Our own film team films and edits. Your Sayso contact in Dubai plans the content with you and manages the project, so social video sits alongside your website, brand and marketing.
Do we need to appear on camera?
No, but it helps. Founders and staff on camera build trust faster than any stock footage. We coach people before and during the shoot, and we plan product, location and text led videos for brands that prefer to stay behind the camera.
How does this fit with a brand film or commercial?
Social video is the regular rhythm, and a brand film or commercial is the big moment. We plan them together, so the big shoot also produces vertical cuts and the social batches carry the campaign for weeks afterwards.
