Personal branding shoot on location: how a full crew trip works
We fly to you with the whole team. You talk, we film.
Menno Kater · · 6 min read
A personal branding shoot on location means our full crew flies to you with all equipment, films with you for a full day, coaches you on camera, and turns that one day into at least four long videos and at least a month of content. A shoot day costs 750 euro with travel at cost, or one all-in price including flights, stay and food. This year that took us to London, Thailand, California, Miami, Monaco and Cannes, among others.

What is a personal branding shoot on location?
A day where the crew comes to you instead of you going to a studio. Your office, your home, the city where you run your business, or the place your story happens. We bring a full team and all the equipment, set up where you are, and film with you from start to finish. You talk about what you know. We handle the cameras, the light, the sound, the questions and the direction.
It is not a photo shoot, and it is not a videographer who records what you prepared. The crew also coaches you on camera between takes, so what ends up in the video sounds like you. For the difference between those routes, read hire a videographer or a content partner.
What one shoot day gives you
One shoot day gives at least four long videos and at least a month of content. With experienced clients it is sometimes three months. Shorts and reels are cut from the same footage, so one day feeds YouTube and Instagram. Once the shoot is done, your first content is live within two weeks, or the month is on us (Menno Kater, working method as published on work with me).
| From one shoot day | What it becomes |
|---|---|
| Long videos | At least four, so a month at one a week |
| Shorts and reels | Cut from the long videos, the number depends on your plan, for example 15 or 30 a month |
| Content runway | At least a month, sometimes three with experienced clients |
| Time to live | First content within two weeks of the shoot |
How we use that footage after the shoot, from the long video to the clips, is in how to repurpose video content.
How a crew trip works, step by step
- On the call we agree what the day has to produce: how many long videos and Shorts, and for which channels.
- We pick dates in the weeks we open for shoot days, and the place: your office, your home or a location that fits your story.
- You choose how to pay for the trip: 750 euro a day with travel at cost, or one all-in price that includes flights, stay and food, agreed up front with no surprises.
- We prepare the topics and questions with you, built on what your buyers ask before they hire you.
- The full crew flies in with all equipment, sets up on location and films with you for the day, with coaching on camera between takes.
- The team edits, writes titles and descriptions, makes thumbnails and publishes. Your first content is live within two weeks.
What we take from these trips: the place matters less than the conversation. A good location helps, but the videos that bring in clients are the ones where you answer a real question in your own words. The crew is there to make that easy.
Where we filmed this year
In 2026 the crew flew to London, Thailand, California, Miami, Boston, Columbus, Belgium, Amsterdam, Manchester, Monaco, Nice and Cannes (Menno Kater, November 8, 2026). We are used to a high workload, we are flexible, and we switch fast when a plan changes on the day.
An example of what that work looks like: for LUV we travelled the world to film, and almost everything on their channels is made by us. The crew goes where the founder is, so the content shows how they actually live and work.
What a shoot on location costs
| Route | Price | Travel |
|---|---|---|
| Shoot day or trip, on top of a retainer or the Flagship | 750 euro a day, equipment included | At cost, or one all-in price with flights, stay and food |
| Flagship, crew comes to you every month | From 6,000 euro a month | At cost |
| Done-for-you retainer, about a shoot day a month | From 3,500 euro a month | Film with your own camera, your videographer or our crew |
| Podcast recorded on location | Its own price, agreed per recording | Agreed per trip |
All prices are on the pricing page. A shoot day is an add-on: it comes on top of the retainer or the Flagship, so the footage turns into videos that are edited, published and measured every month. Want the crew every month without thinking about it? That is the Flagship, where we come to you wherever you are.
The retainer is built for founders and experts who want clients from their content, not views. Smaller is possible: from 2,000 euro a month for two long videos a month.
When a shoot on location does not fit
- You want one photo shoot or a single brand video. We film for a channel that publishes every week, not for one-off pieces.
- You do not want to be on camera. The whole day is built around you talking.
- You only need someone to record. Then a local videographer is cheaper, and you keep the editing and publishing yourself.
