Instagram Reels are designed to create excitement and interest around a player or team. They are shorter than a recruiting video and have a very different "feel" to them. These type of videos can include some fast action with quick cuts, hard plays, and slow motion or transitions. There are some sample Instagram Reels located at the bottom of this page.
There are no hard and fast rules but our Instagram Reels generally run from 15 - 60 seconds in length. We use mutually agreed upon music (if available on Instagram) and try to sync the action to the beat of the music. These are formatted vertically as Instagram's algorithm does not favor horizontal content.
Footage! And lots of it!
Instagram reels can require a lot of video to make therefore we will need as much video as you have that you think might be usable. Even things as simple as your player walking into the stadium or onto the field are good to have. The videos should be in the best quality resolution available to you at the time of recording. Ideally, it is best if you can film in 4K resolution at 60 frame per second (FPS) with HDR turned off.
We will send you an email with instructions on how to get the videos to us. It's a pretty simple process using DropBox. The sooner you get these items back to us the sooner we can start working on your Instagram reel.
Our goal is to get your reel to you as soon as possible but our typical turn around time for is 5-8 days after we receive your clips and other needed information. If you have a hard deadline for your Instagram reel please email (Info@Division123Media.com) or call/text (484-938-8155) to let us know.
When your reel is ready we will send you an email that contains a link to a DropBox folder where you can download your reel. That link will be active for 30 days so please download your video before the 30 days runs out. Once you have it downloaded you are free to use it as you see appropriate. We sometimes do collaborative Instagram posts with the player which allows the reel to appear on both of our timelines.
It is very unusual for our customers to be unhappy with the final product but if for some reason you are unhappy please email us. We will work together to find a common resolution and at no additional cost to you.
