Campaign & Long-Form Video
-
We create everything from mini-documentaries and brand stories to founder interviews, event recaps, and product launch videos. These are usually horizontal (landscape) edits designed for websites, YouTube, or presentations — not just social.
-
Most videos run between 60 seconds and 3 minutes, but we can create longer versions or cutdowns depending on your needs.

These projects typically start from £3,500–£5,000 (exc. VAT), depending on the complexity, locations, and number of deliverables. We’ll always give you a transparent quote upfront so there are no surprises.

Process & Logistics
-
Drop us a message with your goals, budget, and timeline — we’ll take it from there and map out a plan that works.
-
Depends on the shoot. Some social edits can be filmed solo or with a skeleton crew; others might need a full team. We scale up as needed.
-
Social edits: often within 1–2 weeks.
Brand films: usually 3–6 weeks.
We’ll always agree on timelines up front. -
We typically deliver final, edited videos — but raw footage can be provided if requested in advance. This will incur additional fees to cover prep, transfer, and storage costs.
-
We’re focused on video, but can recommend excellent photographers or bring one into the shoot if needed.
Social Content
Short-form videos designed for platforms like Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn — think Reels, vertical edits, ad creatives, and snackable storytelling that grabs attention fast.
Yes — most of our social clients are on monthly retainers, giving them a regular stream of fresh content without having to manage freelancers or brief a new team each time.
Retainers give you consistent, high-quality content without the stress of briefing a new team every month. You get priority booking, better value per video, and a creative partner who understands your brand inside out — all for less than the cost of hiring someone in-house.
It varies, but usually a mix of Reels/TikToks, cutdowns from larger shoots, BTS edits, and sometimes concepting. We keep things flexible to match your priorities each month.
Where possible, we prefer to shoot our own content — it means we can control the quality, style and flow. That said, if you’ve got strong existing assets, we’re happy to work with them or blend them into something new.
We focus on video production, but we’ve got trusted collaborators who we bring in to help social strategy. If you need extra support, we’re happy to bring the right people on board.
