Dailies Studio vs filming yourselfFilming yourself costs nothing. Except your time, your motivation, and take fourteen.
Filming yourself is free: a phone, a window, and off you go. On paper. In reality, you have to find a subject, write a few lines, redo the take, edit, caption, and start again the following week. Often, the video stays on the phone. Dailies Studio starts from a different observation: you already give your best advice on calls. It records them and turns them into shorts, without you having to film yourself.

Yourself
Cost per short
A fixed price a month, whatever the number of calls: the more you have, the less each short costs you. The sum is further down.
Nothing on the invoice. Everything in time: yours, the time you do not spend with your clients while you shoot and edit.
Your time
None on top: you hold the calls already in your diary. Your shorts are ready a few minutes after you hang up, and all that is left is to choose which ones you post.
Finding the idea, writing, setting up, shooting, redoing, editing, captioning. For one minute posted, a good part of your evening.
The camera
You are not looking at a lens, you are answering someone. No text to recite, no take to redo.
Whole. You are alone in front of your phone, watching yourself, listening to yourself, and starting again.
Consistency
As long as you have calls, you have shorts, up to eight a call. It depends neither on your motivation nor on a shooting schedule.
It rests on your motivation. The first busy week, the camera stays in the drawer, and starting again is harder than starting.
What is on screen
You, answering a real client about a real problem. An answer you did not prepare: that is where you are most credible.
You, to camera, with a prepared script. Sincere, but recited: you talk to a lens, not to someone.
What a short costs you
To be seen on video every week, you either pay someone to make your videos or spend your own time on them. A personal-branding agency charges by the month, for a number of shorts fixed in the contract, and you still have to film. Dailies Studio starts from the calls you already hold: its price does not move, whether your calls give ten shorts or three hundred.

Worked out for 10 calls a week, about ten hours. Eight shorts a call is a maximum, not a promise: Dailies Studio keeps only the passages that really share value. Prices exclude tax.
What you do better by filming yourself
You choose everything. Today’s subject, the angle, the place, the length: nothing depends on a call or on what a client asked you. You can react to the news within the hour, film a place, show an object, talk about a subject no client has ever raised. And it does not cost you a euro. Dailies Studio does none of that: it only cuts shorts from what you said on a call, on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
What sets Dailies Studio apart from filming yourself
The effort
Filming yourself is a second job: author, actor, camera operator, editor. With Dailies Studio, you only do your own. You hold the calls already planned, and your shorts are ready a few minutes after you hang up. 0 filming, 0 scripts, 0 editing: you are not creating content, you are documenting.
The discomfort
Few people enjoy seeing themselves on screen and hearing themselves recite. On a call, you do not think about it: you are answering someone. It is that naturalness Dailies Studio keeps, and it is the one you do not find alone in front of a phone.
Staying power
For the first few weeks, you keep it up. Then a client calls, the week overflows, and the camera stays in the drawer. With Dailies Studio, your consistency no longer depends on your motivation: as long as you have calls, you have shorts, up to eight a call.
What Dailies Studio does not do
Choose your subject for you, film anything other than a call, cover news nobody asked you about. Dailies Studio only handles calls held in Chrome, in French or in English. And it has a price, where filming yourself has none.
Questions people ask
Do I still need a camera?
Only the one you already use for your calls: your webcam. Dailies Studio records the call, your microphone and your webcam while you talk. You have no shoot to plan and no equipment to buy.
What if my calls contain nothing interesting?
Dailies Studio only keeps the passages that really share value: a piece of advice, a method, an opinion. That is why you can start with a 30-minute call with the team, before you subscribe: together we check whether your calls lend themselves to it.
Can I carry on filming myself as well?
Of course. Dailies Studio gives you a steady stream of shorts cut from your calls; nothing stops you adding a video you shot when a subject matters to you. Dailies Studio publishes the shorts you plan; the video you shot, you post yourself.
Filming myself is free: why pay?
Because the price of filming yourself is your time, and the consistency you do not keep up. Dailies Studio has a fixed price a month and gives that time back: you do not shoot, you do not write, you do not edit.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Thirty minutes with us to set Dailies Studio up. Then hold your next call as usual, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
