Talking-head videos
Vertical talking-head videos edited for founders, coaches and personal brands. Previews play muted. Tap a video to watch it from the start with sound, and tap again to mute it.
Project brief
Deliverables
- Edited vertical videos
- Hook-first structure
- On-screen text and motion graphics
- 9:16 exports
The challenge
A founder talking to camera is only as good as the edit. Raw takes have pauses, restarts and slow openings, and on a vertical feed the viewer decides in the first second or two whether to keep watching.
Our approach
We cut each take down to the point, remove dead air and restarts, and move the strongest line to the opening. On-screen text and motion graphics carry the key ideas for people watching without sound, and pacing changes, zooms and b-roll keep a single-camera video moving.
The outcome
The result is a set of short, consistent videos that let a founder post regularly without editing themselves, in a style viewers can recognize.
- In this set
- 10 vertical videos
- Format
- 9:16 talking head
- Made for
- Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts
How we did it
Step 01
Find the hook
We watch the full take and move the strongest line to the opening, so viewers get a reason to stay in the first second.
Step 02
Tighten the take
Pauses, restarts and filler are cut out, leaving a clean, fast delivery.
Step 03
Text and motion
On-screen text and motion graphics carry the key ideas for people watching with the sound off.
Step 04
Keep it moving
Zooms, pacing changes and b-roll give a single-camera video visual variety, then we export in 9:16.

Why this project matters
For founders, coaches and personal brands, short talking-head videos are one of the most direct ways to build trust with an audience. Handing off the edit means they can post regularly without spending their evenings in an editing app.
Questions about this project
What do I need to send you?
Your raw vertical footage, filmed on a phone or camera, plus your logo, fonts and any examples of edits you like. We handle the cut, text, motion graphics and exports.
Can you edit videos for me every week?
Yes. Many founders and coaches work with us on a monthly retainer with a set number of videos, which keeps the style consistent and the turnaround predictable.
Do you add captions?
Yes. On-screen text and captions are part of the edit, so the video still works when people watch without sound.
