Selected work

Vertical stories built for the way people watch now.

A look at how Clip Canto Studio turns brand ideas, live shoots, and existing footage into focused short-form video series for Reels and Shorts.

Fitness trainer being filmed for vertical social media content in a modern gym

Fitness studio · Oakland

Making expert instruction feel immediate

Challenge: The studio wanted consistent educational content without disrupting coaching sessions or making trainers memorize long scripts.

Approach: We organized a compact shoot around natural demonstrations, short talking points, and repeatable opening hooks. Each segment was framed for vertical viewing and paced around one useful takeaway.

Deliverables: A monthly batch of instructor-led Reels, exercise cut-downs, burned-in captions, cover frames, and platform-ready exports.

Videographer filming a barista making coffee with a vertical camera setup

Independent café · Berkeley

Turning daily craft into a recurring series

Challenge: The café had plenty of visual activity but needed a clear format that could be repeated across drinks, staff stories, and seasonal menu features.

Approach: We developed simple series themes, then filmed preparation details, ambient moments, and brief staff explanations during a low-impact on-location session.

Deliverables: Vertical recipe stories, behind-the-counter clips, captioned staff features, alternate hooks, and clean versions for future reuse.

Chef plating a restaurant dish while a videographer films a close-up

Neighborhood restaurant · San Francisco

Capturing detail without slowing service

Challenge: The restaurant needed polished food content while protecting the pace and space of an active kitchen.

Approach: We built a focused shot list around plating, texture, movement, and chef commentary. Production stayed lightweight, with close coordination around preparation windows.

Deliverables: Dish spotlights, chef-led shorts, service-detail cut-downs, accessible captions, and multiple opening variations for scheduled posts.

Small video crew filming a client interview in a sunlit Oakland office

Professional services firm · Oakland

Reshaping one interview into a useful series

Challenge: The firm had strong subject-matter expertise but needed concise videos that sounded conversational rather than overly scripted.

Approach: We guided the interview with focused prompts, captured supporting office footage, and edited each answer around a single audience question.

Deliverables: Captioned expert clips, topic-based cut-downs, branded title cards, vertical exports, and organized selects for later content.
