Melbourne Video Production for Social Media and Paid Ads That Cut Through the Noise
Building an online presence using social media takes dedication, time and effort. And when it comes to paid ads, money. But without the right approach, it can be all go to waste.
Think of the challenge: Your potential new customer isn’t actively looking for you. And as they’re scrolling down their feed at a mad pace, you have less than a second to hit them with something that forces them to plant a finger down and pay attention.
If you think it’s just about attention span, you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s about creating instant interest and relatability in a feed drowning in noise.
That’s where we come in. We help you develop concepts built for your platforms, then map out cost effective ways build a pipeline of content that supports your brand presence or marketing campaign. And if you’re already working with us on another project, we can repurpose the footage into social media posts—another great way to fill your content pipeline with high-quality, cost-effective content.
So if you’re still flooding your feed with low quality content that nobody notices, contact OTB Productions for a free discovery chat.
Fully Flexible Content Plans
A series of content plans are available to suit your budget and need. They start with a monthly strategic planning session, and flexible content choices.
But the best part is that you can upgrade to a higher content plan for a month to cater to an ad campaign or event. And for members on an active plan, any additional one-off projects enjoy special member rates.

We are part of a franchise group of 60 stores. We approached 3 different Video production companies to produce a series of videos for us to use. We loved the way Sanford approached our request. He wanted to find out more about us and what was the reason for our marketing spend before he could give us a quote and a presentation. He was the only company who took the time to make sure the proposal matched our expectation. He also helped us with planning, scripts and coached all the participants during the shoot as well. The results were outstanding and everyone loved it. I would 💯% recommend Sanford.

Sanford Tong from Outathebox Productions is a great videographer and producer. Sanford shot and created some client testimonial videos for us, and he made the process so easy. He was able to prep our clients, position some key questions to draw their natural comments and then edit all of the footage in a really interesting clip.

I got Sanford to create some testimonial video and a short promo video for my business. I was pretty clueless about what exactly i wanted but he made the whole process very easy including helping to write a script for our video. With our clients, he put them at ease and got some great content. I am extremely happy with the final outcome of the videos, it is clear that he not only technically knows what he is doing but is able to construct a story line to make the video flow well. For the effort he put in and excellent outcome i also think his fee is very reasonable.Posted on Google David RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worked with Sanford to create some videos for my upcoming website, he was amazing to work with and very professional. He got me out of my comfort zone and helped me feel more relaxed in front of a camera which is not an easy thing to do. Highly recommended will work again with Sanford in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why should my business use social media reels?
Reels are one of the most effective ways to engage new and existing audiences quickly, boost visibility, and drive awareness, traffic and leads. By posting high value content on a regular basis, it demonstrates that you are an active, dynamic business that’s consistently adding value for your clients.
Q. Is a phone camera enough for effective social media content?
A: A great phone camera is a good start, but social media success is about much more than just recording video. You’re competing for attention in a sea of content, so it’s crucial to have a meaningful messaging strategy, strong storytelling, smart pacing, quality sound, and formatting tailored to each platform — all designed to grab instant attention as your post scrolls down the screen.
Different formats also attract different audiences, and we can help you develop a strategy that covers more ground, with each reel fully produced and ready to post.
Q. Do I need to have a social media strategy before contacting you?
A. No! The difference with working with OTB Productions is that we have real commercial insight to help you develop a strategy if you don’t already have one. So don’t get too stressed about not knowing where to start – reach out early and allow us to do some of the thinking for you.
Q. Is it expensive to create professional video for social media reels?
A: Social media is about creating an ongoing presence to bring awareness and to stay top of mind – so you don’t want to spend a fortune on a single “super-post”.
We help clients plan a content strategy that uses different reel formats efficiently. From a single shoot, we can often produce 10–15 ready-to-post videos, creating a steady flow of content while maximising your investment. By scheduling professional shoots on a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly basis, your pipeline of high-quality content for your business is taken care of in a cost-effective way.
Q. Why should I produce paid ads professionally?
A: Investing in professional video for your paid ads increases the chances your audience will notice, understand, and act on your message. Working with a professional ensures your video is designed to capture attention, drive clicks or leads, and deliver results — so you’re not spending money on an ad that doesn’t perform.
Q. What's included in your video packages?
A: All social media and advertising packages start with a free discovery session to work out what content would be most effective for you.
Once you’ve accepted a quotation, I will work with you to develop concepts as needed, then film and create the content for you.
Q. How does your video package pricing work?
A. In general, most pricing will be fixed as quoted if you accept within 30 days by paying the deposit. There are a few scenarios where a revised quote may need to be issued:
- If you request a material change to the scope.
- Critical information was not provided that materially changes the effort required.
- External costs due to elements that were not known at the time of the quote (e.g. permits).
Q. How much should I budget for professional video?
A: Each package is tailored to your specific needs. As a guide, a typical half-day shoot ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 and usually includes 10–15 reels, or 1–3 variations of paid social ads.
Q. Do you also manage social media accounts?
A. We don’t offer this in-house, but I can personally connect you with experts who do.
