Video Production & Promotion

Introducing AF Video Productions
Professional - Powerful - Personal

AF Video Productions is the creative collaboration of Gigi McConnell and Allan Freeman — a dynamic husband-and-wife team delivering a fresh, effective approach to social media and website promotional videos.

Gigi McConnell, a trusted and well-known figure in the South Bay community with an engaged social media following, serves as the on-camera host and client liaison. Gigi also uses her social media expertise and reach to strategically promote your video, boosting visibility and connecting your business with your target audience. Allan leads production as videographer, audio tech, lighting specialist, editor, and coordinator of trending, copyright-safe background music. With over 20 years of broadcast television experience, he ensures that every video is polished, professional, and highly engaging.

What We Offer

A two-person crew — Allan and Gigi — will oversee every aspect of the process: Producing, Directing, Video Capturing, Editing, and an Instagram Social Media Boost Promotion. We will craft a polished 30- or 60-second video that showcases your brand with clarity and impact. 
The finished video will initially be posted on South Bay Beauty's IG, with a targeted boost, and your video will also be delivered to you via email, ready for you to use on your own platforms.

 

Details and Frequently Asked Questions

 
What exactly is our Social Media Boost Promotion?
Your short format video will initially be posted on Gigi’s Instagram, and “boosted” with her expertise, to a targeted local audience. Gigi, owner of South Bay Beauty in Redondo Beach, and now operating as an e-commerce specialist and small-business promotional advisor, has built a reputation and a following as a trusted successful business owner and recognized as a social media personality. When executed correctly, your video has the potential to reach thousands—and Gigi’s proven techniques help ensure you stand out from the start.

Are You Camera Shy? No Worries!

You don’t have to speak on camera—many of our most effective videos are entirely visual. That said, we do provide up to two noise-canceling wireless microphones when dialogue is creatively appropriate.
Before filming, we’ll consult with you on the video style we recommend, always keeping your comfort level in mind. Usually, appearing on camera makes sense, however there’s no need to be an actor. With a little light guidance from us, your natural presence and business operating is more than enough.
We may wrap up with a quick photo of you with Gigi—and that’s it! Our goal is to make the process easy, stress-free, and even enjoyable.

How do you Prepare for our visit?
Wear attire that is appropriate for what you do, and simply prepare your business location by making sure it's clean, well stocked, and uncluttered. Any seasonal or temporary decor such as holiday decorations, Grand Opening banners, or with time sensitive sale/discount signage are best removed so that your video could be reposted again at any time(s) of the year. 
We also respect your time and business operations. That’s why we typically film during your regular hours and don’t expect you to stop what you’re doing. We work discreetly, maintain a low profile, and never film your clients directly.

Cost:
One 30-Second Video: $500
One 60-Second Video: $550

Editing Style & Revision Policy:
We encourage you to browse our sample videos to get a sense of our creative approach and editing style. During your initial consultation, please let us know if there are specific elements you'd like us to highlight or if you have any background music preferences. If no preferences are provided, our team will take full creative direction to deliver a polished and engaging final product.
Revisions:
We offer one complimentary revision in the case of an unacceptable issue — such as a formatting error, clerical error, signage error, or any technical glitch.

Our pricing reflects the total labor involved in creating your content, and this policy helps us keep our rates fair and accessible while still delivering work that meets your expectations. The client is to assume that there will be no revisions made to what is delivered, unless there is an outstanding circumstance, and we thank you for your understanding and support.
