a 4WD build, start to finish.

Southport, Gold Coast One film, two social cuts Filmed in a day
“We’d wasted so much time and energy trying to film this ourselves.” Jeremy Drabsch, Mechanic Near Me

the brief.

Mechanic Near Me build and service 4WDs out of a workshop in Southport. The work is good and there was no way to show it. Like most workshops they had a go at filming it themselves between jobs, and it never came out looking like the job actually looks.

So we filmed a full lift kit install on a Ford Ranger, start to finish, and cut it three ways: one film that tells the whole story, and two vertical cuts built for the feed.

the day.

Five hours on site. The team kept working and I filmed around them, nothing staged and nothing stopped. That is the only way a workshop film looks like a workshop rather than an ad.

No lighting setup, no waiting on a shot. If a job moved to the other side of the shop, I moved with it.

the social cuts.

Same day, same footage, cut vertical for Reels and TikTok. A long film earns its place on a website. These are what actually get watched on a phone.

Most video pages show you the finished thing and nothing else. Here is the part you would actually be booking: one person, in your workshop, working around your team.

“Perry filmed a 4WD build at our southport workshop for our socials, the video looks so pro. We’d wasted so much time and energy trying to film this ourselves and it was nothing like what he’s produced. Easy to deal with the whole way through and quick with the turnaround. Killed it mate. Can’t wait to work with you again!”
