Central Texas · Video production
Gear. Tech. Fitness. Home.
On camera.
I am Jakin Harper. I film and edit product video from a lit home studio and on location: vertical UGC for social, and horizontal podcast and studio pieces shot at 6K. One person, brief to final cut.
Two shapes, not one
Vertical and horizontal
Most creators sell you one aspect ratio. I shoot both, in the same studio, with the same camera.
Podcast and studio
Sit-down, podcast-style pieces in my home studio: lit set, controlled sound, 6K source. Long-form reviews, founder and expert interviews, walkthroughs and talking head with b-roll cut in.
Delivered up to 4K, with vertical cutdowns on request.
About
One person, the whole job
I shoot, light, record sound, and edit. You send a product and a brief. You get a finished video back. No crew to schedule, no agency layer, no hand-off between a shooter and an editor.
I film the things I actually use: camera and desk gear, tools, fitness and home-gym kit, outdoor and optics, truck and home projects. That range is the point. A reviewer who already owns the category sounds like a buyer, not a read-out script.
Turnaround is agreed per job when you book. Rush delivery under 72 hours is available as an add-on. Every video includes two rounds of revisions.
What I cover

What I make
Content types
-
Unboxing
Opening the package, first impressions, what is in the box.
-
Demo
The product in use, in the place it is meant to be used.
-
Testimonial
Straight to camera, in my own words, about what the product does.
-
How-to
A short walkthrough: setup, a feature, or the step buyers ask about.
-
Podcast-style review
A longer sit-down in the studio: the full case for the product, lit and mixed.
-
Interview
Your founder or expert on camera, horizontal, with cutdowns for social.
Studio and kit
What it is shot on
A home studio built for both shapes, so a horizontal interview and a vertical cutdown come out of the same session.
-
Camera
A full-frame 6K camera, shooting open gate at 5952 × 3968. The 3:2 sensor gives room to crop a clean 9:16 out of a 16:9 take.
-
Lens
A fast prime. Wide enough for a desk, fast enough to separate the product from the background.
-
Light and sound
Lit home studio with a controlled set, plus on-location shooting when the product belongs outdoors.
-
Post
Edit, colour and sound in DaVinci Resolve. Captions, hooks and end cards on request.
Process
How a job runs
-
Brief
You send the product and what you want said. We agree the format, the hook, the specs and the usage rights in writing.
-
Shoot
I film it. Lit studio set or on location, lav or shotgun audio, 6K source in whichever shape the brief calls for.
-
Deliver
You get the edited video with any required disclosure, ready to post.
-
Revise
Two rounds of revisions are included. Extra rounds are priced on the rate card.
Rates

Add-ons
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| Extra hook | $35 each |
| Raw footage | +20% |
| Rush, under 72 hours | +25% |
| Paid-ad usage, 30 days | +25% |

How a quote adds up
- Every percentage is a percentage of the base price of one video ($125). Never of the bundle, never of another add-on.
- Add-ons are priced per video and summed.
- Organic use means the brand's own channels, for 12 months from delivery.
- Paid usage starts on the delivery date.
- Exclusivity means 90 days, same product category, named in the agreement.
Example. One video, two extra hooks, 90 days paid usage: 125 + 70 + 62.50 = $257.50.
Payment
Jobs at or under $150 are paid in full up front. Jobs larger than $150 are 50% deposit and 50% on approval. Send an inquiry and I will reply with a quote and an invoice.
