Short Live Action Billboard Ads
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I manage a busy LED outdoor billboard in South Africa that rotates spots for roughly 300 small-to-medium advertisers. Each business needs a crisp, eye-catching live-action clip between five and ten seconds long. Restaurants and retailers do appear on the schedule, yet the bulk of the inventory belongs to service-industry brands—think salons, clinics, fitness studios, plumbers, real-estate offices and the like—so your concepts must communicate value very quickly.
For every booking I will supply the client’s logo, key message and any footage or stills they already have. Your task is to shape that raw material into a punchy, daylight-readable video, colour-corrected for an outdoor LED wall and delivered in the board’s native resolution (I’ll share specs once we start). Light motion graphics to highlight copy or pricing are welcome, but the core visual must remain live action so audiences recognise the real people and spaces behind each service.
Because rotation is fast and volumes are high, I need someone comfortable turning around multiple ads per week without sacrificing polish. Please send links to past work that proves you can:
• craft story beats inside 10 seconds
• grade footage for high-brightness screens
• keep text large, legible and on brand
I don’t require a detailed proposal at this stage—your reel will speak for you. If the style and pacing match what I’m after, we’ll begin with a test batch and scale from there. Looking forward to seeing your previous short-form billboard or social video projects.
