Format
What the show is and who it is for, written down before a camera is booked.
What lands
- The format and the schedule
Your channel, on a schedule
YouTube Series
Episodic shows that build audiences
A channel, not a video
A YouTube series is a show people come back to: the same format, on a schedule, not a one-off video. That’s what makes a channel worth subscribing to. We plan the format, shoot the episodes in batches, and cut the long episodes and the Shorts from the same footage, then publish them on a schedule you can keep.
A format you can repeat
Before a camera is booked, we write down what the show is: who it’s for, how long it runs, how often it comes out, and the segments every episode follows. Then episode twelve is as easy to make as episode one.
Who it’s for
The show and its audience, agreed first.
Length and cadence
How long, and how often, set before the first shoot.
The same segments
A shape every episode follows, so viewers know it.
A channel that looks like a set
People decide what to watch from the thumbnail. We design the thumbnails, the titling and the channel art as one set, so the whole shelf looks deliberate and every new episode looks like it belongs.
Designed thumbnails
A made image for every episode, not a frame grab.
Titling
Episode names in one pattern, easy to follow.
Channel art
The banner and the icon, in the show’s look.
Shot in batches
We film several episodes in one session, in our studio or on location at your business. It’s the only way an ongoing series stays affordable. Then we edit each one to the format, with the graphics, captions and music done in-house.
Several episodes a session
One setup, a block of episodes.
Studio or on location
Our studio, or your kitchen, shop or office.
Edited to the format
Graphics, captions and music handled in-house.
Shorts from every episode
Most new viewers will find the channel through a Short. We cut vertical clips from every episode, from the same footage, and each one points back to the full episode.
From the same shoot
No extra filming. The Shorts come from the episode.
Made for vertical
Reframed and cut to work on a phone.
Linked to the episode
One tap from the Short to the full show.
Out on a schedule
A channel that goes quiet gets forgotten. We upload every episode with its title, description and thumbnail done rather than left blank, and schedule it on a calendar the channel can actually keep.
Uploaded for you
Every episode and every Short.
The details filled in
Titles, descriptions and tags, not left blank.
A schedule you can keep
So the show ships rather than stalls.
The work
- RestaurantsSaverio's PizzaSaverio’s came to us with a need to document their story. The Cataldo family had a deep, authentic, and inspiring story to tell but needed help getting it out in the world in the way of short form video and content marketing. We assisted the Saverio’s team in developing a YouTube series called “Our Family Business” which was used to tell this story, as well as various promotional and seasonal videos showcasing their brand and products.
- Financial servicesAgemy Financial StrategiesAgemy wanted to create a YouTube Series based off of their radio show that they had just started. Instead of trying to work around the Covid-19 situation, we suggested that they just use their web cams to capture the content because nowadays, the quality is not as important as it used to be. Our Graphic Design team created each and every eye-catching thumbnail to ensure the YouTube channel popped and the users weren’t just going to see random images.
- Financial servicesAgemy Financial StrategiesIn the midst of starting up a radio show, RJ Media showed Agemy Financial Strategies that you can simultaneously distribute content to more than 1 platform. In this case their existing radio show would be distributed on popular podcasting platforms as well as YouTube.

Questions we get
Anything else? Call 631-551-6880.
How much does an ongoing video series cost?
Most small businesses invest $1,500–$5,000 per month for ongoing work. Individual projects are quoted per engagement, and every engagement starts with a free consultation.
What is a series, as opposed to a one-off video?
A repeatable format shot on a schedule rather than a single production, which is what makes a channel worth subscribing to. We plan the format, shoot it in batches, and cut both the long episodes and the vertical clips from the same material.
Is the editing done in-house?
Everything is produced in-house by one team out of our own studio. The people who plan it are the people who make it.
