FAQs
What costs are involved?
Costs for video production vary enormously depending on the scope of the project and the logistics that may be involved. For example, a video shoot may require multiple crew members, several shoot dates and an external location - all things that are a cost consideration. We typically charge £500-£2,000 + VAT at the lower end of the scale, this could be for something like photographing a small event, a series of short social media videos or a simple talking head piece. For more complex projects such as brand films, these can cost anywhere between £1,000-£10,000 + VAT, it all depends on the logistics. For photography projects the costs involved are lower, but again it depends on the specific requirements of the brief. With any project you will be provided with a fixed cost that will not change unless the scope of the project deviates away from the original agreement.
We're on a tight budget...
Similarly to the question regarding costs, if we provide you with a quote that is simply beyond your budget, tell us what you’re working with and we’ll let you know what we can provide within that cost. Chances are we’ll still be able to make something fantastic, it may just involve having to compromise on a few things.
When will I recieve the final version?
This will depend on how busy things are at the time, but clients can expect to receive a first draft within a week of the final shoot date. For photographs, these are delivered within 48 hours.
How soon can I book a shoot?
Ideally we require a minimum of 1 weeks notice before any shoot takes place, however we can accommodate last minute projects so long as we have availability and everything is communicated clearly. This is usually only applicable to smaller projects, for large campaigns these cannot be done at short notice as you need heavy pre-production.
Do you offer retainer packages?
Although we have regular clients, none of them are on retainers. This is typically because the scope of work is always changing, but also because we don’t want clients to feel they have to commit to a monthly fee for a sustained period of time. Unless it was a preference on the client side, we would never engage you in a long-term contract unless you had a defined plan for monthly content and guaranteed budget to make it happen. That said, we are always looking to enter into long-term partnerships, so if you have a need for regular content creation - get in touch!
How much input does the client need to put in?
If we’re creating a brand film it is beneficial for you to have a good amount of input - after all, you know your business best! We normally have several 30-minute meetings with clients prior to shooting where we run through the plan of action as well as any logistics. On the other hand, the client may only need to have minimal input if we’re shooting something such as an event.
Can I make revisions to the finished video?
Of course! It’s natural to want to tweak your video slightly and we’re more than happy to offer clients up to 3 rounds of amends per edited video. Depending on the extent on the changes, we can go beyond this if it’s something minor. Additional costs would only be incurred if it involved wholesale changes to the edit.
How will I receive my content?
Completed work is sent to you via WeTransfer which is a digital file sharing site. From there, you will have 4 weeks to download the files. If you have requested raw footage (additional cost), this will be sent to your address on a physical hard drive.
