The challenge was to produce multiple types of videos, including a high-energy hype video, compelling testimonials, and versatile social media content, all from a single-day shoot.
Strategy and Execution
We carefully planned a packed shot list to capture dynamic class action, studio details, and member interactions, while organizing interviews to gather authentic testimonials that complemented CycleBar’s brand narrative. On the shoot day, we filmed high-energy classes, utilized strategic lighting and dynamic camera work to showcase the studio’s ambiance, and recorded polished testimonials in a controlled setting. Post-production focused on creating versatile deliverables, including a hype video, testimonial pieces, and platform-optimized social media clips to maximize engagement.
Brand Hype Video
Given the constraints of a single shoot day, we prioritized capturing the energy and authenticity of a live class, focusing on genuine interactions and reactions from trainers and members rather than staged scenes with actors. To maximize efficiency and versatility, we employed a two-camera setup, ensuring we captured ample footage to support the production of multiple planned videos. In post-production, we integrated dynamic motion graphics to enhance the visuals and align seamlessly with CycleBar’s vibrant brand identity.

Testimonials
Due to time constraints, we chose to conduct interviews in a more natural setting, capturing members in their actual environment—whether they had just completed a workout, were preparing for one, or engaging in other authentic moments. Understanding that an elaborate setup might be intimidating for some, we kept the process discreet with a single camera and minimal lighting, ensuring real, candid responses that reflected the genuine atmosphere of CycleBar. These were intended to be shared on social, so we shot and edited these in the square format for feeds and stories.
Social Videos
By leveraging the footage captured from the classes and testimonials, we were able to produce additional videos requested by the client. With a solid foundation established from the initial videos, the editing process was streamlined. Strategic planning played a key role in ensuring we captured the right content to create videos optimized for both paid and organic social media use.
