The questions, answered.

Most B2B briefs land between £1,500 and £15,000. A solo-operator half-day with a single highlight cut sits at the lower end. A two-camera, full-day shoot with a hero film plus social cutdowns runs £3,500 to £7,500. Multi-day conference coverage with a full crew, vertical and landscape edits, and a marketing suite of deliverables sits £7,500 to £15,000. Anything above is a campaign rather than a single video. A fuller budget breakdown lives in the journal.

London-based, working UK-wide as standard. International on request. Most clients are in central London, Manchester, Edinburgh, or somewhere in between; expeditions have included Cornwall, France, and the open Atlantic. Travel and accommodation are scoped into the quote where relevant.

Event highlight films, conference and session recording, recruitment and early-careers films, social mobility and inclusion stories, B2B video presentations and case studies, mini-documentaries, and corporate photography (often shot the same day as a video brief). All deliberately B2B, no weddings or parties.

It depends on the brief. Small interview-led shoots are usually solo-operator. Conferences, multi-camera events, and brand films run with a crew of two to five, including a second camera operator, audio engineer, and sometimes a separate director or producer. The crew scope is part of the project quote.

A first edit of a 2- to 3-minute highlight film typically lands within 2-3 weeks of the shoot. Conference session recordings, being lighter on edit, often come faster. Brand films and longer-form work usually take 3-4 weeks. Tight turnarounds (under a week) are possible with prior arrangement and a dedicated edit slot.

Two rounds of revisions are baked into every quote: one after the rough cut, one after the fine cut. Revisions cover trims, music swaps, caption tweaks, retiming and other normal editorial notes. Significant re-cuts (reorienting the whole film around a different lead character, or commissioning a re-shoot) are scoped separately. The two-round structure is what nine out of ten projects actually use.

Honestly, this is rare, because the pre-shoot conversation lands on the film's shape before the camera comes out. When it does happen, the most common cause is that the brief shifted internally between the kick-off and the rough cut. We pick up the phone, work out what changed, and re-cut the rough against the new shape. The first proper conversation is usually short and the second cut almost always lands.

Live-action film and stills is the centre of the practice; that's where the craft sits and where the work shows up. Lower-thirds, title cards, simple animated charts and tasteful kinetic typography are included as part of the edit where the film calls for it. Full animated explainers or fully AI-generated footage aren't a fit; we'd recommend a specialist studio for those briefs.

Yes, where it makes sense. Selects (the best takes, with audio synced) are usually the most useful version. Full uncut rushes can be provided too. Both are delivered via a cloud transfer alongside the final cut.

A one-sentence description of the project, the audience, the date and venue, and the final deliverables. A budget range. A few reference videos if you have them. We've written a longer guide on briefing a corporate videographer if you want the deeper version.

Yes. Most B2B work has confidentiality requirements: closed sessions, sensitive documents, client identification constraints. We work around them as a matter of course (NDAs, careful framing, pre-approved b-roll, and final-cut sign-off from your team). Tell us the constraints early and we'll scope the shoot to fit. For regulated sectors like law firms, the specific shape of a law-firm commission is covered separately.

Yes. Event coverage, portrait headshots, internal socials, and firm-branding stills. Often shot on the same day as a video brief, which keeps the visual language consistent across video and stills. Available standalone too.

Yes. Full public liability insurance (£5m) and professional indemnity. We can share certificates ahead of any shoot, and venues that require evidence of insurance get it as part of the standard pre-production paperwork.

A half-day shoot is typically four hours on the clock, including set-up and pack-down. A full day is eight to ten hours. For conference work or events that run longer, we scope the day around the event timeline rather than a fixed window, and we always agree the working hours in advance.

Yes, when the brief calls for it. Same-day or 24-hour highlight cuts are possible for events where speed matters, usually charged at a small premium because of the post-production overtime. The brief needs to land at least a week ahead to lock the crew time, and the deliverables are typically tighter than a standard edit.

Of course. Most projects start with a short call (20-30 minutes) to talk through the brief, the audience, the date, and the budget range. There's no obligation, and the call usually saves a round of email back-and-forth on the quote.
