How remote work runs.
Nothing needs filming on site, so distance makes no difference to the work.
A video call
We talk through your business, your customers and what the reels or the website should do. You get a plan and a price in US dollars or pounds.
Clips and content
For video, you film short clips on your phone and upload them to a shared folder. For a website, you send your text, photos and logo, or ARI53 writes the text with you.
Make and approve
Reels come back in four shapes with your logo, colours and captions. You get two rounds of changes on every video. A website is shown to you online before it goes live.
