The story

Started at sixteen, shipping ever since

I’m William Bransford. I run Bransford Media out of Austin, TX.

I shoot and edit cinematic video for brands, mostly brand films and digital ad creative, with photography and drone work alongside it. One shoot usually produces a website video, a few social cuts, and an ad set, so clients aren’t paying for the same coverage twice.

I started doing video at 16 in Minnesota under the name Cinema Cereal, high school athletes and small local businesses. After a year at Montana State I left to run the agency full-time as Space Studios in Bozeman. Relocated to Austin in 2025 and started Bransford Media.

What I do

Six things, run end to end

No outsourced aerial, no outsourced edit, no agency layer between the call and the camera.

Aerial

Licensed drone pilot

FAA Part 107 certified. I fly cinema and FPV drones myself, so aerial doesn't get subcontracted.

Hero asset

Brand video

The main offering. Cinematic hero films and short cuts, shot and edited end to end.

Performance

Digital ads

I shoot and edit creative for paid social. The same shoot day feeds the website and the ad set.

Stills

Photography

Stills come from the same shoot day, for the website, social, and listings.

Post

Post-production

I cut my own work. No outsourced edit, no surprise revisions.

Strategy

Positioning and strategy

Three years running an agency before this. I think about positioning and messaging, not just the camera.
