What does video production cost?
Every job is scoped on what it actually needs: shoot days, crew, aerial, and how deep the post goes. A one-day shoot with a tight edit sits at a very different level to a multi-day brand campaign. Tell us your budget range and we will tell you straight what it gets, and what we would prioritise.
How far ahead do we need to book?
For a single shoot day, a couple of weeks is usually comfortable. Bigger productions with casting, locations or aerial permissions want more lead time. If it is urgent, ask anyway. We have built coverage plans in days when it mattered.
Do you only work in London and Leeds?
We are based in both, and we cover the whole UK. A good chunk of our work happens on the road, and we shoot abroad regularly. Travel is scoped into the quote up front, no surprises.
Are you licensed to fly drones?
Yes. Our aerial work is CAA licensed and insured, and we regularly fly on and around live construction sites, events and city-centre locations. If a job needs permissions, we handle them as part of the production.
How long does the edit take?
Depends on the film. Event coverage can be cut same-day when we plan for it. Most brand and construction films are delivered in days and weeks, not months, because everything is edited, graded and finished in-house.
What do we actually get at the end?
A master film plus the versions you need for each platform: 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 cutdowns, stills if photography was part of the job, all graded to match. Deliverables are agreed in the quote so there is no ambiguity later.
Do you do photography as well as video?
Yes, and often on the same visit. Stills for brand, event and construction sit alongside our film work, which usually saves a second crew and a second day.
Are you a production company or a creative agency?
Both ends of it. We develop campaign concepts, creative direction and design, and we also take work that is already scripted and just needs shooting well. Most clients land somewhere in the middle: their brief, our treatment, one crew through to delivery.
Can you turn something around same-day?
For live events, yes, when it is planned. We shoot to a pre-agreed edit, offload continuously and cut on site, so a highlight film can be out while the event is still happening.
Do you work with agencies?
All the time. We slot in as the production partner: you keep the client relationship, we handle shoot, edit and delivery to your brief, on time and on brand.
