Short-form video studio · San Jose
Your brand isn’t boring. Your content is.
We’re a young crew that grew up on the feed. We plan the videos, write the scripts and run the shoot, so you post more and stress less.
12 sites shipped since 2024. Stores, restaurants, sports. Short-form is the new thing.
Not templates. Five brands. Five looks.
12 sites since 2024. Every one built from the brand up, nothing off a shelf.
Short-form results next. We publish them once a client has 90 days of posting behind it, with the numbers screenshotted from their own analytics. Nothing invented in the meantime.
Free video recap.
Paste a TikTok or Instagram link. You get the hook, the pace, six frames, the transcript and the stats, usually in under a minute. It is raw data with no opinions. Working out what to do with it is our job.

Here’s what we add.
The free recap gives you the facts. A full breakdown from us explains them: what worked, where it loses people, and what to steal. Here’s one example on sample data.
Book a breakdownOur breakdowns work from the transcript, the timings and the opening frames, scored against our own rubric. They are not watch-time data. Retention belongs to the account that posted the video.
Example breakdown
“You’re probably wasting money on supplements.”
TikTok · 0:34 · contrarian hook
9.1/ 10 hook
Where it slows down
0:08 to 0:14. The script drops to 1.8 words per second and the shot does not change. Cut the setup, or add a visual beat every two seconds.
Key takeaway
The creator creates conflict before introducing the solution.
Not built yet: a content board for saving the videos you wish you had made, and a competitor radar that watches rival accounts. We do both by hand today inside the monthly plans.
Questions.Before you book.
What is Vapor Media?
Vapor Media is a short-form video studio in San Jose, California. We plan the videos, write the scripts and run the shoot for brands, so they post more and stress less. We also run a free tool that breaks down any public TikTok or Instagram video.
Who is Vapor Media for?
Brands that want to post short-form video every week but lack the ideas, scripts or time. Our work so far covers stores, restaurants and sports. We take one brand per category in a city, so we never work for a direct rival.
What do I actually get each month?
On Scripts: 8 concepts, 8 scripts with shot lists and three hooks each. On Filmed: all of that plus a half-day shoot at your location and 12 edited videos ready to post.
Do I have to be on camera?
No. Plenty of accounts grow with voiceover, screen recordings, b-roll or a team member on camera. On the Filmed plan we run the shoot, so the most you have to do is show up and talk about what you already do all day.
How fast do we start posting?
First concepts and scripts land within a week of the kickoff call. Editing turnaround is usually 48 hours once footage arrives.
What does it cost?
Prices are not final yet. Book a call and we will quote you for your brand. Scripts is for brands that film themselves. Filmed includes a shoot day and 12 edited videos. Custom is quoted per brand.
Is copying someone else’s video allowed?
We copy structure, not content. A hook type and a beat order are not owned by anyone. The script, the footage and the claims are always written for your brand.
How does the free recap work?
It downloads a public TikTok or Instagram video, transcribes it, and reports the stats, the first three seconds, the pace, six frames, the transcript and the caption. It gives facts, not scores or advice: the judgement is what our breakdowns add. It cannot see anyone else’s watch time, because that data belongs to whoever posted the video.
