Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most common questions about Blue Whippet Media social media reel packages. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, feel free to get in touch.

Each package includes professional filming and editing to produce high-quality short-form videos suitable for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and other social platforms.

All packages include:

  • Professional filming, ground and or drone where appropriate
  • Fully edited vertical social media reels
  • Delivered in high-quality 4K format
  • Content tailored to your business and brand
  • Files ready to upload directly to your social media

The main difference between packages is the number of finished reels delivered.

Filming time varies depending on the type of content being created.

Some shoots may only take an hour, while others may involve multiple locations or more detailed filming.

Rather than charging purely by time, packages are based on the number of finished reels delivered, which better reflects the creative work involved.

Editing time depends on the complexity of the reel. This can include colour grading, music synchronisation, cuts, transitions, captions, text overlays and brand styling.

Typical delivery times are:

  • Standard: within 5 days
  • Standard Plus: within 7 days
  • Pro: within 14 days

Faster turnaround may sometimes be possible depending on workload.

Standard Plus and Pro packages include access to all usable raw footage captured during the shoot.

This allows you to create additional content later if you wish.

No problem.

Additional reels can often be edited from the footage captured during your shoot for £20 per reel.

This is a great way to create extra social media content without needing another filming session.

Availability depends on the amount of usable footage captured during the original shoot.

Package prices include travel within 10 miles of Lightwater, Surrey.

If you are located outside this area, travel can still be arranged.

Yes. Travel beyond the included area is charged at £0.45 per mile.

Mileage is calculated based on the round trip from Lightwater, Surrey.

Any travel costs will always be confirmed before booking so there are no surprises.

Yes. If your content requires filming across several nearby locations, this can usually be accommodated within the same shoot.

For larger location changes or longer travel times, this may affect the package required.

Filming sessions are planned to capture the content required for the number of reels included in your package.

If additional content ideas arise during the shoot, this is usually not a problem. However, if the scope of filming becomes significantly larger than originally planned, this may require additional time or editing.

Any additional work will always be discussed with you before proceeding.

Each reel includes one round of minor revisions if needed.

This may include small adjustments such as text changes, minor timing tweaks or swapping clips where possible.

Additional revisions or major changes may incur an additional editing fee.

If poor weather affects filming, the shoot can usually be rescheduled at no additional cost.

For shoots involving outdoor or drone footage, conditions such as heavy rain or strong winds may require rearranging the filming date for safety and quality reasons.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a shoot, please provide at least 48 hours notice.

This allows the time slot to be offered to other clients.

Cancellations with less notice may incur a small cancellation fee depending on the circumstances.

All reels are edited using licensed or royalty-free music suitable for social media platforms.

If you have a specific track in mind, this can sometimes be incorporated depending on platform licensing rules.

Alternatively, reels can be supplied without music, allowing you to add trending sounds directly within Instagram or TikTok.

If filming takes place at a private business or venue, permission should be obtained from the owner or manager before the shoot.

For public locations, filming is usually permitted, however some locations may have restrictions or require permits.

Blue Whippet Media always aims to film responsibly and in accordance with local regulations.

Yes, but it is important that anyone clearly featured in the footage is comfortable being filmed.

For businesses where customers may appear in the background, it is recommended to inform them that filming is taking place.

If required, filming can also be arranged during quieter times to minimise disruption.

Reels are produced in a vertical 9:16 format so they work perfectly on Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts.

This ensures your content is optimised for platforms where short-form video performs best.

Yes.

If you are not sure what would work best for your business, Blue Whippet Media can suggest creative ideas based on your industry and audience.

Examples include behind-the-scenes content, product or service highlights, customer experience clips, day-in-the-life style videos and promotional or seasonal content.

The aim is to create videos that feel natural, engaging and authentic.

Blue Whippet Media focuses on creating high-quality, engaging social media content for local businesses.

Rather than generic video production, each reel is designed specifically to perform well on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

What sets Blue Whippet Media apart includes professional ground and drone footage where appropriate, content created specifically for short-form social media, local knowledge of Surrey businesses and locations, and high-quality 4K editing and colour grading.

The goal is simple: create content that helps your business stand out online and attract new customers.

Short-form video is currently the most effective type of content on social media.

Platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook actively prioritise short video content, meaning it is more likely to be shown to new audiences.

For local businesses this can mean greater visibility in your local area, increased engagement with customers, more enquiries and bookings, and a more professional online presence.

Well-produced short videos help businesses show personality, build trust and capture attention quickly.
