GLM · Content Partnership
A Monthly Content Partner
Geared Like A Machine plans, shoots and edits new video for brands that need it every month. One planned shoot day covers a month of finished pieces. The director of photography is on every shoot, and the camera and lighting package comes with it.
Plan a partnershipClients Who Come Back
U.S. Polo Assn.
Joey Arcisz has been director of photography on U.S. Polo Assn. campaigns for eight years, through Genius House Media, across fourteen productions in eleven cities. The brand sells through its licensing program in over 135 countries. The same client, back every season.
Footage licensing
For twelve years, footage shot by Joey has licensed through FilmSupply, where global brands license it for their advertising campaigns every month.
Tige Boats
Geared Like A Machine produced brand films and athlete lifestyle content for Tige Boats, with multi-camera water and dock shoots across Texas lakes.
What One Month Looks Like
- Step 1
Plan
A short call sets the month: the products, people or launches to cover, and the platforms each piece is for. We turn that into a shot list.
- Step 2
Shoot
One planned shoot covers the whole month. The director of photography is on set, and the camera, lens and lighting package is already part of the plan.
- Step 3
Edit
Finished originals and cut-downs sized for each platform, with two consolidated review rounds.
- Step 4
Build
Each month starts from what the last one taught us. The crew learns the brand, and your library of footage keeps growing.
Three Ways to Work Together
Quarterly
One full shoot day each quarter
Editing spread across the quarter. Built for brands with seasonal launches, model years or event calendars.
Monthly
A half-day shoot each month
Two short originals each month, or one longer master with a cut-down. A steady presence without a big production every time.
Monthly Full
A full shoot day each month
Four short originals each month, or one longer master with three cut-downs for each platform you publish on.
Every plan starts with a three-month term, billed monthly in advance. We set the plan and the price together on a short call.
A Good Fit When
- Someone on your team owns content and can approve it.
- You have a steady stream of products, people, launches or stories worth showing.
- You want one crew that knows your brand, instead of briefing a new vendor for every project.
Partnership questions
- How long is the commitment?
- Every partnership starts with a three-month term, billed monthly in advance. After that it continues month to month, with 30 days notice to stop.
- Is equipment included?
- Yes. Geared Like A Machine runs its own equipment rental business, so the camera, lens and lighting package for each shoot is part of the partnership. There are no separate rental bills to approve.
- What does it cost?
- It depends on how much you shoot and how many pieces you need each month. We set the plan and the price on a short call, once we know what the month should produce.
- What if we need more than the plan covers?
- Extra editing, extra formats and extra shoot days are added as written change orders, priced before the work starts.
