Parrot Marketing team filming a client interview in McDonough, GA

Video is the fastest way for a local business to build trust online. When people in McDonough see you, hear you and watch your team at work, they feel like they already know you before they reach out. But a lot of owners put off video production because they don’t know what a shoot involves. Here is exactly what happens when our team records at your business.

Why local businesses in McDonough need video

Your customers scroll Facebook, Instagram and TikTok every day. Short videos of real people get more attention than photos and text, and they work everywhere: social media, ads, your website and your Google Business Profile. One recording day can give you content for months.

Before the shoot: plan and scripts

Every project starts with a short questionnaire about your business, your customers and your goals. From there we write the scripts, plan the interviews and pick the shots we need. You review everything before the recording day, so there are no surprises.

Recording day: we come to you

We record on site at your business anywhere in Henry County, from McDonough and Stockbridge to Locust Grove and Hampton. Our team brings everything:

  • A teleprompter, so you can read your script naturally without memorizing it
  • Professional microphones for clear sound
  • Lights that make you and your space look their best
  • A plan for interviews with you, your team or happy customers
  • Extra footage of your space, your products and your team at work
  • Photos you can use on social media and your website

A typical session runs about 2 hours. The teleprompter makes it easy, even if you have never been on camera before.

After the shoot: editing and delivery

Our editors turn the footage into a main brand video plus short clips for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, with captions, music and your branding. You get one consolidated round of revisions, so all your feedback is in one place and the final videos are ready fast.

Then the content goes to work: on your social media, in your ads, on your website and on your Google Business Profile.

How to get ready for your shoot

  1. Clean and declutter the spaces we will film.
  2. Wear solid colors and skip small patterns or other brands’ logos.
  3. Write down the questions customers ask you most. Those make great videos.
  4. Invite a team member or a happy customer for a short interview.
  5. Plan a quiet time slot so phones and machines don’t interrupt the audio.
