What it is
A set of videos built the same way paid brand content is built: a real shot list, real direction, real editing, so that when a brand looks at them, they can tell you’d be able to do it for them.
You get a worksheet and the method before anything is filmed. Then I send a shot list written for your niche: not generic UGC advice, the actual shots a skincare brand or a fashion label looks for.
You film it and I tell you what’s working and what to shoot again.
The shot list is the product. Everything else is execution.
How it works
01 · Answer a few questions
You fill out a short form: what you like making, what you’ve already got at home, and the kind of brands you’d want to work with. Ten minutes, and there are no right answers.
02 · I send your shot list
The exact shots, in order, with what to say over each one and how to frame it. Written for your niche, not pulled off a template.
03 · You film it
On your phone is fine. The list tells you where to stand, what to hold, and what each shot needs to show.
04 · I tell you what to keep
One round of notes on your footage: what’s working, what to shoot again, and how to cut it together.
THREE
ways to do it
Guided
$759
The method, the worksheet, a shot list built for your niche, one round of feedback on your footage, and direction on how to cut it. You film and you edit.
Guided & Edited
$1,599
Everything in Guided, plus four finished videos cut by me. You end up with something ready to send rather than something still to finish.
Shot by Zema
$3,199
A half day with me behind the camera. Six videos, fifteen stills, fully edited. For creators who want footage nobody can argue with.
Reccomended if you want to become a creator to learn how to edit!
What you end up with
Finished vertical videos in different formats (demo, voiceover review, unboxing, talking head) Brands want to see range, not four versions of one idea.
Stills from the same session, so a pitch doesn’t arrive with video and nothing else.
Work you can send ASAP. Mock pieces, clearly presented as mock pieces, which is the standard way anyone proves they can make something before they’ve been paid to.
A one page rate card, so you stop guessing what to charge and stop quoting low out of nerves.
Worth saying plainly
This doesn’t guarantee you brand deals. Nothing does, and anyone promising otherwise is selling you something. What it removes is the reason most creators get passed over before anyone has looked properly, which is having nothing to show that resembles the work they want to be paid for.
Are these real campaigns?
No, and they’re not meant to be. They’re mock pieces, which is how portfolios get built in every creative industry. You send them as a mock example of what you can make, and brands read them exactly that way.
What if I don’t have products to film?
We work with what you own or what you’d realistically be gifted. The point is proving you can make the content, not whose logo is on it.
How long does it take?
Worksheet and shot list within a week. After that it moves at the speed you film.
Which tier should I pick?
If you can edit, Guided. If editing is the thing that stops you finishing, Guided + Edited. If you want footage nobody can argue with, Shot by Zema.
Do I need a following?
No. This is built for people who don’t have one yet and are trying to get hired anyway.
Does this help me get cast on The Book?
You can join The Book for free right now, no build required. What this gives me is footage, and footage is what decides whether I actually cast you. Being on the roster is open to anyone.
Where do the shoots happen?
Shot by Zema is in California. The other two tiers you film yourself, so you can be anywhere.
