Founder Story Video Packages

 

Show up authentically on camera
without becoming someone you're not

 

For purpose driven founders and independent professionals who are ready to be seen, and for those who aren't there yet either.

SOUND FAMILIAR

You're good at what you do. Your work speaks for itself, mostly. But when someone lands on your page, they don't feel you yet.

Maybe you've rewritten your about page more times than you can count and it still reads like everyone else's, your face still isn't out there because every time you think about pressing record something in you resists, or you've already paid for content that looked fine and changed nothing.

This isn't a confidence problem. It's that nobody has yet helped you find the version of your story that actually sounds like you.

 

HOW I WORK

MIRROR | AUTHORITY | TRUST | DECISION

Not more content. The right sequence, in the right order.

1. Mirror

You see yourself clearly on screen, often for the first time in words that are actually yours.

2. Authority

What makes you different becomes something people can recognize in seconds, not something they have to guess.

3. Trust

The story attracts the right people and quietly filters out the wrong ones. They recognize themselves in it before you ever speak.

4. Decision

By the time someone books a call, they already feel like they know you. That's where real partnerships begin.

HOW IT WORKS

From first conversation to final files, 3 to 6 weeks depending on your package.

  1. Discovery call — we get to know each other, and decide together what fits.

  2. Questionnaire & scripting — you answer in your own words, I turn it into a script that sounds like you.

  3. Coaching call — we prepare together, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.

  4. Filming day — a few relaxed hours, multiple takes are normal.

  5. Editing & delivery — landscape and vertical versions, subtitled, two rounds of feedback.

Every step, in more detail, on our first call.

Timeline depends on your package and availability:

  • Essential: ~3 weeks

  • Recommended: ~4 to 5 weeks

  • Premium: ~5 to 6 weeks

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

What filming day actually feels like.

CHOOSE PORTRAIT, AND THIS IS WHAT THE DAY LOOKS LIKE:

We meet in the studio in Amsterdam, or at your own space if you're based elsewhere or prefer to be filmed where you actually work. Either way, it's a quiet, professional setup. There's coffee. We sit down for a few minutes before anything starts, no rushing into it.

The setup is simple. Soft lighting, a background we chose together, the camera positioned so it feels natural. No big crew, no complicated equipment making you self-conscious.

Here's what happens: we press record. You deliver the words we've practiced together. It usually takes a few tries to find the right rhythm, and that's completely normal. Between takes, I coach you on pacing, energy, presence. By the third or fourth take, something shifts. You relax. You sound like yourself.

CHOOSE DOCUMENTARY STYLE, AND INSTEAD:

We follow you and your work as it happens, wherever that is. You still speak, as narration or in natural conversation, never lines to a lens.

Either way, what comes out is almost always better than you expected. Not because you're suddenly a great actor, but because you're not performing. You're just being you, clearly and calmly..

 

ALREADY MAKING YOUR OWN VIDEOS?

Your videos might already work. That's not the question.

The question is what else you'd do with the time it takes to be your own crew, and whether the extra you'd invest here comes back through new customers.

If it does, it's not a cost. It's a payoff.
