Social piece for — cut down from the long-form brand film, these bite-sized, vertically-formatted videos isolate micro-topics and extend your reach beyond your website.
Real stories will always attract the right audience. You don’t need to go viral (which is short-lived fame anyway); you just need to speak to the exact type of person you exist to serve. The right ones will follow and become your closest clients.
In this one, Jessica explains how acupuncture targets points all over the body, harnessing the divine architecture that keeps us alive to move energy in the direction of healing.
Social cutdowns are part of every video branding package. DM to learn more!

Here’s how I record panels with an extremely minimalist setup (while also grabbing stills and b-roll) as a one-man-band videographer/photographer:
1. GH7 on sticks in the back, AC power so battery never runs out for hours of recording time, DJI mic audio burned directly into the video file.
2. The DJI Mic receiver is gaff-taped onto the handheld mic that panelists pass around. One audio source, clean 32-bit float recording. Multiple layers of tape so it looks reasonably clean — you can’t tell at all from far away, and clients always appreciate pristine audio.
3. I periodically check on the recording while roving around the space grabbing stills and b-roll. I aim to get a 10-20 second b-roll shot for every still photo angle.
I do like having robust, multi-cam setups with a full crew. That isn’t appropriate for every job however — sometimes it’s best to keep a lightweight setup and keep the focus on the event.
Got an event you need covered? Shoot me a DM.

Hi! I'm Jacob Steed, the owner and founder of Steed Films. I'm currently studying at Dallas Baptist University, majoring in business, with the hopes of launching my own company one day (well, I've already kinda done that). I love my family of two siblings, two parents, an amazing grandmother and two dogs who I love with all my heart.
I'm a film nerd, music lover, skier, coffee addict, and lover of all kinds of nature. When I'm not out shooting or studying, you can usually catch me hanging out at some of my favorite coffee places talking about all of those things (I promise I'm not a hipster).
On December 9, 1998, I was born to Will and Meri Steed in Fort Lewis, Washington while my Dad was serving in the United States Army. My dad's term was over six months after I was born, and our small family moved to Texas where my Dad started his own business as a homebuilder. Later on, two new members of our family were introduced: AnnaBelle and Luke.
Since Instagram and Facebook hadn't exactly come onto the scene to document our family experiences, we found a different way to tell stories, and that was through filmmaking. As I grew up, my Dad would carry his camera with him and make home movies whenever a birthday or family vacation was on the radar. I was fascinated with this concept: if I pressed record on a video camera, I could later re-live these memories by telling the stories of our life. I was always the one who wanted to watch him edit and make DVDs, and I think I watched them more than anyone else.
And that caught on with me quickly. When I was ten years old, I started a YouTube channel where I uploaded movies of my own creation. They were bad... like, really bad. But that didn't matter; I was having too much fun. With this new found love for storytelling, I eventually took over as the family moviemaker. When we would go on vacations, it was I who would document the experience through video. And it was amazing.
Wedding filmmaking became a full-time job for me. And I loved it. I had the chance to travel all over the country––from the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California to downtown Atlanta––and work with some of the most amazing people I've ever met. My hope for this next chapter of Steed Films is to join creativity, innovation, and excellence by telling memorable stories that are shared with the rest of humanity.
