Teaser & Trailer | Make people curious first, tell them second

These situations are a good fit

  • Event promotion: teasers for exhibitions, performances and talks
  • A suspense-style teaser ahead of a product launch
  • A trailer ahead of releasing a film or a content series
  • Opening countdown: promotion before a shop or a venue opens
  • A short promotional video for course enrolment
  • A warm-up video before a crowdfunding project goes live

Common formats and lengths

  • 15 seconds: pure suspense, giving only atmosphere and a date
  • 30 seconds: the most common, enough to cover the main message
  • 60 seconds: a full trailer, including more clips of the content
  • Vertical 1080×1920 is the main format for social; a horizontal version is for the website and YouTube
  • Usually made as a set: one long version plus several short ones, released in stages

Please prepare these materials

The rules for materials are simple. Just follow whichever one of the options below matches what you have:

1. You already have footage

  • Upload the original files to Google Drive, then share the folder link with us
  • Please put the files in order first — name them in the order you want them to appear (01, 02, 03…). This step saves a great deal of back-and-forth and makes the quote more accurate
  • Please send the original files rather than sending them through a messaging app, which compresses them and costs you quality

2. You do not have footage yet

A simple script is enough. You only need to write down three things:

  • From which second to which second
  • What is on screen
  • What text appears

For example:

0–5 sec | Opening shot (for example an aerial of the setting, the entrance, the product itself) | Text: the brand or topic name
5–12 sec | Main content, camera pushing in slowly | Text: the one line you most want people to remember
12–20 sec | Closing shot | Text: contact details or a call to action

It does not need to be beautifully written, just clear. We will use that script to assess how feasible it is and what the scope of work would be.

For anything else, just ask on our official LINE.

How we work together

Every project is bespoke, so the process starts with “taking a look first”, not with a price.

Fill in the enquiry form

Tell us the video type, length, format and delivery date. It takes about a minute.

Send the material or a script

If you have footage, upload it to Google Drive and put it in order; if you do not, send a simple three-point script (from which second to which second / what is on screen / what text appears).

Assessment and quotation

We tell you what we found and how much improvement you can expect, and send a quote for you to decide on. If we judge that it cannot be handled, we will say so and explain why.

Production and delivery

We deliver a first cut on the agreed schedule, and export the finished film once the revisions are confirmed. Working days are counted from confirmation of payment.

Frequently asked questions

Filming has not started yet — can a teaser be made first?

We can look at it. Some trailers are carried by text, motion design and sound effects, without needing live-action footage at all. Tell us what you have to hand and we will propose something workable.

Can the trailer be cut from the main film?

Yes, and it is the most common approach. Once the main film is finished we can extend it into a trailer version; because the footage has already been organised, it is more efficient than making one from scratch.

How many is it best to make at once?

Releasing a series usually works better than a single video. A common approach is “one 30-second main trailer plus two or three 15-second short versions”, released in stages, adding a little more information each time.

Can you take rush jobs?

Trailers are short, so the schedule is relatively flexible. Just tell us the release date you need and we will assess whether it can be fitted in.

How long does it take?

A single trailer takes about 3–7 working days; extending one from an existing main film is quicker.
