Does Sinh Vũ take on small projects?

Sinh Vũ serves individuals, SMBs, and enterprises. Each tier has a suitable scope and approach. Small project clients often start with a 30-minute Coffee chat (free) or a Workshop/Audit to get the right direction before investing.

Self-brief, or do you need Sinh Vũ to assist with the brief?

Both are fine. Door 01 Detailed form for you if the scope is clear. Door 02 Chat with Sinh Vũ (5 minutes, AI asks the right questions) for you if the scope is unclear and needs consultation first.

How long from brief to the first deliverable?

Sinh Vũ responds within 24 hours. Detailed proposals within 48–72 hours. The first deliverable depends on the scope, typically 2–6 weeks from contract signing and deposit receipt.

What industries does Sinh Vũ work in?

300+ projects across 16 major sectors: F&B, Cosmetics, Fashion, Real Estate, Technology and SaaS, Manufacturing, Education, Healthcare, Finance, Travel, Agriculture, B2B professional services, and other sectors.

Is there a contract and confidentiality?

Yes. Every project signs a standard service contract from Sinh Vũ Studio, including clear confidentiality (NDA) and intellectual property terms. Briefs are stored separately, accessible only to the responsible team.

Can one video be used for both TikTok and Meta?

Yes, but it will be off-tone in at least one place. The Meta feed can handle polished versions, but that version on TikTok is often immediately recognized as an ad, and viewers scroll past. If the budget is limited, prioritize creating a native version for TikTok first, as it is harder to repurpose, then use that version or cut it for Reels.

Does raw material mean careless shooting, with poor lighting being acceptable?

No. Intentional rawness means looking natural as if filmed by a real person, but the first three seconds must have a strong hook to keep viewers engaged, the lighting must be readable, and the message must be clear. Carelessness and naturalness are two entirely different things.

Should brand identity be maintained on TikTok, or can it be localized freely?

It must still be maintained, but the way to maintain it has changed. Instead of placing the logo in the corner of the screen like traditional commercials, it could be the primary color, the font in the caption, or the familiar voice of the character. If the brand identity is completely lost, viewers won't know which brand that version belongs to, and all views will not accumulate for the brand.

Raw TikTok or polished Meta: how to choose correctly

Quick summary

TikTok rewards natural content that looks like it was shot on a phone, following trends and sounds; polished ads are often recognized and skipped. Meta is broader: the news feed can handle polished content, while Reels is closer to TikTok than to the news feed. The right approach is to maintain a big idea throughout, then change the storytelling and level of polish according to each platform, not just cut and paste one version for all.

making a promotional video that goes viral on TikTok where viewers recognize it as an ad and scroll past
misunderstanding the material means making it vague and lacking a clear message

The question about raw or polished is actually the wrong question. The right question is: what mindset is the viewer in when they encounter your images? On TikTok, they are scrolling for entertainment and waiting to be surprised. On the Meta feed, they are catching up on news and connecting. These two mindsets require two different storytelling approaches, even if the underlying idea may be the same.

Why TikTok hates traditional ads

TikTok builds a culture of local content: users are used to watching self-shot clips, trending sounds, and rapid trends. When a polished ad appears in that flow, viewers recognize it immediately and scroll past before their brains can process the message. TikTok For Business calls the right approach "Don't Make Ads, Make TikToks": engage with the community, follow the sounds, and look like real content from real people.

This does not mean to shoot carelessly. Intentional rawness still requires three essential elements: a strong hook in the first three seconds, readable lighting, and a clear message. If one of these is missing, the piece may look natural but will not achieve its purpose.

Meta is not a platform, but multiple contexts.

A common mistake is to view Meta as a single block. In reality, Meta has at least three different viewing contexts:

Feed: Users spend more time here, accepting polished content; high-quality images perform well in this space.
Stories: quick view, vertical, need the message to appear early in the first few seconds.
Reels: behavior is closer to TikTok than to a news feed. Local, natural versions often perform better than polished advertising versions.

If you only create one version for all of Meta, that version will be correct for one position and misaligned with the other two.

When to choose which direction

Choose raw, local content when posting on TikTok, Reels, or using small influencers and user-generated content. Prioritize local sounds, trending topics, and real people appearing on camera. Choose polished content when creating brand films, running Meta feeds, placing on the homepage, or displaying on large outdoor screens. These contexts require refinement to maintain brand credibility. Run two layers in parallel when the same campaign runs on both TikTok and Meta. One big idea, two narratives, two different levels of polish.

Signs of identity: must be maintained, but maintained differently

Even if the narrative tone changes by channel, the brand identity must be sufficiently present so that all iterations contribute to the same brand. According to the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, consistency in brand identity over time and across channels is the mechanism that helps the brand be remembered when customers are ready to buy.

On TikTok, maintaining brand identity does not mean placing the logo in the corner of the screen like traditional commercials. It can be the dominant color in the background, the font in the caption, a familiar character's voice, or a distinctive opening style. Completely losing brand identity in an attempt to appear local is the opposite mistake: that version may go viral, but no one knows who it belongs to.

The first three seconds determine whether the viewer stops. This is a common point across all fast-scrolling platforms, regardless of being rough or polished.
TikTok For Business

The viewpoint of Sinh Vũ

In campaign image projects, Sinh Vũ maintains a central big idea while designing adaptations for each platform. Deliverables often include separate variants for Meta and TikTok, not just a single version cropped to fit.

More importantly, Sinh Vũ creates an adaptable handbook that clearly states which platform needs which tone, and where the identity markers should be placed in each format. The goal is for your internal team or influencers to produce additional content without straying from the brand. Coordination with specific influencers and running ads is your team's responsibility; Sinh Vũ provides the visual foundation and guidelines for that team to work on a solid base.

Frequently asked questions

Can we use a single video for both TikTok and Meta?

Yes, but there will be at least one mismatch. The Meta news feed can handle a polished version, but that version is often immediately recognized as an advertisement on TikTok, causing viewers to scroll past. If the budget is limited, prioritize creating a localized version for TikTok first, as it is harder to repurpose, then use that version or edit it for Reels.

Raw means shooting carelessly, bad lighting is acceptable too?

No. Intentional rawness means looking natural as if filmed by real people, but the first three seconds must have a strong hook to engage viewers, the lighting must be readable, and the message must be clear. Carelessness and naturalness are two completely different things.

Signs of whether brand identity should be maintained on TikTok or if it can be localized freely?

Still necessary to maintain, but the way to maintain it changes. Instead of placing the logo in the corner like traditional advertisements, it could be the primary color, font in the caption, or the familiar character's voice. If the identifying signs are completely lost, viewers won't know which brand that version belongs to, and every view won't contribute to the brand.
