Reels and Shorts from a single product photo
No shoot and no editor. The Video Director writes the film beat by beat, you approve the storyboard, and the film renders from the post's own picture, so its first frame is the product you already approved.

Video without a crew
Short vertical video is what Instagram, TikTok and YouTube reward, and it is the format a small team makes least, because it means a shoot and an edit. PlanMedia makes it from what you already have: a photograph of the product, the room or the plate.
The Video Director plans each film as one continuous idea with real timing, keeps the product in frame from the first beat to the last, and puts it in view within the first half second, because that is all an unscrolled feed gives you. The camera moves; the product is not redrawn.
How a film is made
- 1
Start from a picture
A post with an image, made by the team or uploaded by you, is the film's opening frame.
- 2
Read the storyboard
The Video Director writes the beats and the camera move before anything renders. Change it while changing it is cheap.
- 3
Render
Once you approve the storyboard, the film renders vertical and lands on the same post.
- 4
Approve and publish
It goes through Approvals like any other piece and publishes on its day.
What you get
- Vertical films for Reels, Stories, TikTok and YouTube Shorts
- A storyboard you approve before anything renders

Questions people ask
Do I need video footage?
No. A film starts from one still picture of your product or place, either made by the team or uploaded by you. The camera direction comes from the storyboard.
Can I see the film before it is made?
Yes. Every film is storyboarded first, beat by beat, and renders only after the storyboard is approved.
How much does a video cost?
Forty credits per film. If the render fails, the credits are returned automatically.
