No drama. No shutdown. Just smooth, efficient content capture.




💬 Introduction


You want a powerful video that shows off your brand—but you don’t want cameras tripping over your team, interrupting customers, or turning your workday into chaos.

We get it.

At Aerolens, we’ve built our process specifically for small business owners who don’t have time to babysit a video crew. Here's how we make filming feel effortless—so you can focus on running your business while we capture what makes it special.



🧠 Step 1: We Plan It All in Advance (So You Don’t Have To)


Every successful shoot starts with strategy, not setup.

Before we ever show up with a camera, we:

  • Do a full discovery call to learn your goals

  • Pre-map your location and best visual angles

  • Build a custom shot list based on your space, team, and vibe

🧠 This means zero guesswork on the day of the shoot—and no aimless wandering with a camera.



⏰ Step 2: Shoot Day Is Structured and Efficient


We typically shoot for 2–4 hours (depending on content goals), and our process is built for low friction:

  • We use minimal gear to stay nimble and non-invasive

  • We film in short segments that don’t require you to stop your entire workflow

  • We guide you through every step—no awkward “what do I do with my hands” moments

If you’re client-facing (like a gym, coffee shop, or showroom), we shoot around your flow—not through it.

🎙️ Step 3: Interview Style, Not Scripted Acting


We don’t hand you a script. We create a conversation.

If you're being filmed or doing an interview-style voiceover, we:

  • Keep the setup casual and natural

  • Ask you real questions in your own words

  • Edit out any pauses and "non-words" to keep it clean

📣 The result: You sound like you, but dialed-in and confident.



🎬 Step 4: We Capture More Than You Think


While the shoot feels minimal, our cameras don’t stop rolling between key scenes.

That’s how we capture:

  • Candid moments

  • Team energy

  • Customer interaction

  • Environmental B-roll (hands, signage, details, etc.)

All of it gets layered in to tell a complete visual story.



🛠️ Step 5: You Get a Video That Works Hard for You


We don’t just hand you a pretty clip.

You get:

  • A main marketing video for your website or socials

  • Optional cutdowns for reels, TikToks, or ads

  • Guidance on how and where to post it for max engagement

Most clients walk away with 3–5 pieces of strategic content from a single shoot day.


🚀 Final Thoughts


Every frame in a great video is there for a reason. From client prep to shot list to lighting—we don’t guess. We build with intent.
