THE REAL DELIVERABLE

Not just a video.
A whole content engine.

One production day should keep working after the cameras stop. ChicagoShots captures the main story, shapes the interviews, highlights, vertical clips, captions, and thumbnails around it, then organizes the campaign so you can see what earns attention and inquiries.
