Services

Three stages, from the first question to the finished file. Book all of them, or only the one you are missing.

01

Pre-production

The thinking that stops a shoot day from being wasted. We study the business or project, work out what the media actually needs to do, and build a plan around it before anyone picks up a camera.

This is where most of the value gets decided. A clear brief means the shoot day runs short, calm and on budget, and nothing important gets remembered on the drive home.

What happens

  • Needs and audience case study
  • Concept and creative direction
  • Shot lists and storyboards where useful
  • Location recce and access checks
  • Scheduling and call sheets
  • Deliverables mapped to where they will be posted

What you get

  • A written plan you can sign off
  • A running order for the shoot day
  • An agreed list of final deliverables
  • A fixed quote with visible line items
02

Production

Filming on site with professional kit and a calm set. We direct people who are not used to being on camera so they look like themselves rather than like they are being filmed.

The kit is owned and operated in house, so the set up scales up or down to suit the job without production quality dropping at the small end.

On the day

  • Sony full frame cinema and stills
  • Gimbal, handheld and locked off coverage
  • Lighting set up for interiors and interviews
  • Broadcast audio with lav and boom
  • Interview set up and on camera direction
  • Photography captured in the same pass

How it runs

  • Discreet on a working site, no shutting the place down
  • Talent and staff directed with light touch
  • Everything backed up on site before we leave
  • Coverage logged against the shot list as we go
03

Post-production

Edited, graded and delivered in the shapes and sizes you need, with a clear record of everything that was shot so nothing sits unused on a drive.

You get a first cut, one round of notes included, and final files in the formats each platform actually wants rather than one master you then have to crop yourself.

The work

  • Edit, colour grade and sound mix
  • Subtitles, graphics and light motion
  • Retouched stills and print ready exports
  • Versions cut for social, web and screens

Delivery

  • First cut within seven to ten working days
  • One round of revisions included as standard
  • A private web page reporting the shoot and full coverage
  • Files delivered ready to post, no re-exporting needed

How it works

Four steps from first message to final files.

01

Send the brief

A rough idea is enough. What the project is, roughly when, and what you want to end up with.

02

Plan and quote

A short call, then a written plan and a fixed price with the line items visible.

03

Shoot day

We turn up with everything, work around your operation and get the coverage on the list.

04

Edit and deliver

First cut, your notes, then final files in every format you asked for.

Questions

The things people ask first.

How much does a shoot cost?

It depends on the number of shoot days, how many deliverables you need and whether travel is involved. Most single day projects sit in the low four figures once editing is included. Send the brief through and you get a fixed quote back with the line items visible, so you can cut something if the number is not right.

How long until we get the edit back?

A first cut usually lands within seven to ten working days of the shoot. Social cut downs and stills often arrive sooner. Tight deadlines can be worked to if you flag them before booking.

Do you travel outside London?

Yes, shoots are taken across the whole of the UK. Travel and overnight costs are quoted as separate line items rather than folded into the day rate, so you can see exactly what they add.

Can you shoot photography and video on the same day?

Yes. Photography is captured alongside the video coverage as standard, so you leave with both instead of booking two separate days.

Do you take on second shooter or subcontract work?

Yes. Second camera, additional crew and subcontracted production work for agencies, production companies and other filmmakers is welcome. Get in touch with the dates and the role you need filled.

Who owns the footage?

You get full usage rights for the agreed deliverables. Raw footage can be handed over as well if you want it, which is worth deciding at quote stage rather than afterwards.
