About work
My Secret Dwelling had already built a reputation as a premier interior design firm serving clients from their Wilmington, Delaware base all the way to Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Georgia. What they needed was a way to translate that reputation into content — something that let the person behind the brand speak directly to their audience.
Studio Nine came in on March 10, 2026 to capture a talking head interview session designed to do two things: fuel an ongoing social media content series and anchor a longer brand story video. The goal was simple — let Cheryl speak, and let the camera do the rest.
The interview format was intentional. In a saturated space of beautifully curated rooms and mood boards, the most differentiating thing a design firm can show is the mind and heart behind the work. Studio Nine framed the session to bring out the story, the philosophy, and the personality that makes My Secret Dwelling different from every other interior design firm in the market.
From a single shoot, the footage became the foundation for both short-form social content and a full brand story — maximizing every minute in front of the camera.
Video Production
Professional video production
The session was designed for efficiency and impact — a controlled talking head setup that could yield both punchy social clips and a cohesive long-form brand narrative from the same footage.
Cinematic Interview Setup: Shot on the Sony FX30 with professional lighting and the DJI Mic 2 for clean, broadcast-quality audio — every frame was built to look intentional, not like a Zoom call.
On-Set Direction: Studio Nine guided the conversation to draw out the moments that matter — the founder's story, the design philosophy, and the client-first approach that defines My Secret Dwelling.
Social-First Framing: Every question and angle was planned with clip-ability in mind, making it easy to pull short-form content directly from the longer interview without additional shooting.
Brand Voice Alignment: The visual and conversational tone was matched to My Secret Dwelling's existing brand — warm, elevated, and deeply client-focused.

Video Delivery
Video finalization
The final step is getting your film into the world — and we make that process seamless. At Studio Nine Company, delivery isn't an afterthought. It's the moment your story reaches the audience it was made for, and we take that seriously.
Here's what our delivery process looks like:
Platform-Optimized Exports: Your film is exported and formatted specifically for how you'll use it — whether that's Instagram, Facebook, your website, a live event screen, or a client presentation. No guessing, no reformatting on your end.
Organized File Delivery: You receive your files clearly labeled and ready to use. We don't send a raw folder and leave you to figure it out.
Revision Rounds: We include structured revision rounds in every project so there's space to refine before final delivery. You'll never feel rushed toward a finish line you're not happy with.
Long-Term File Access: We retain your project files so that if you ever need a re-export, a format change, or an updated version down the road, we've got you covered.
At Studio Nine Company, the relationship doesn't end at delivery. We're invested in your story long after the film is finished — and we're always here when you're ready for the next one.
