Case studies

TES Capital

Mandarin video localization without another shoot.

TES Capital already had an English corporate video. The next need was simple: keep the footage, change the spoken language, and let Mandarin-speaking clients hear the same message without booking another production day. The proof is the side-by-side English and Mandarin videos shown below.

The client need

The English footage still worked. The voice needed to speak to a second audience.

A normal reshoot would mean booking people, space, lighting, camera work, and time on everyone's calendar. The message was already clear in English. Instavar checked whether the same video could carry that message in Mandarin through translation, voice work, captions, and editing.

The work

Instavar reused the English footage and rebuilt the spoken message in Mandarin.

The original corporate video stayed as the base. Instavar changed the language layer so the second audience could follow the same message without a new shoot.

Existing footage stayed useful

The original video remained the visual base instead of being thrown away.

The message changed language

Translation, voice work, and captions made the same message easier for Mandarin-speaking clients to follow.

The team avoided shoot planning

Changes could happen through review and editing, not another round of production logistics.

The proof

The two videos show the same message working in two languages.

Mandarin Localization

Client quote

“It’s much cheaper - hundreds instead of thousands. Iterations are easier and faster; when I realised changes were needed, I just asked and they were done. And there’s no logistics - no coordinating videographers, lighting, or studio space. It just saves so much time.”

- Chan Wan Hong, Founder of TES Capital

What this supports

This shows reuse and localization, not new business results.

The page shows that TES Capital could reuse an existing corporate video for a Mandarin-speaking audience. It does not claim new leads, revenue, or investment outcomes from the video.

TES Capital can now show the same corporate message to clients who prefer Mandarin, while keeping the original shoot useful.
