FAQs

Questions, answered.

If yours isn't here, ask when you book. We reply within 2 working days.

01

Booking and prices

How much does a business video cost?

Short social videos start at £395 for a shoot and four videos, property tours at £149, and brand films at £1,295, all plus VAT. Our prices are on our price list, and we confirm a fixed price before you commit.

Do I have to pay to book?

No payment is needed to send a booking request. Once we confirm the date and the price by email, a 25% deposit holds the date. We invoice the rest on delivery, and it is due within 14 days.

How quickly will I get my videos?

Most short videos are delivered within 7 working days after the shoot, and longer films within 10. Property tours take 3 working days. Next working day delivery is available as an add-on for social, property and editing jobs.

Where are you based and how far do you travel?

We are based in Nottingham and film across the East and West Midlands with travel included, including Derby, Leicester, Birmingham, Coventry and Lincoln. Further afield, we charge mileage.

Do you film weddings?

No. We only work with businesses and organisations.

Can we use the videos however we like?

Yes. Once paid for, you can use the finished videos online and on social media, for any business purpose, for as long as you like. For TV, cinema, radio or paid ads outside social platforms, tell us before the edit so the music is licensed for it.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold public liability insurance and can send the certificate to your venue before the day.

Do you use AI?

Yes, for the slow jobs: transcripts, first-pass captions, translation and finding the best moments in long recordings. We never use AI to fake a person, a voice or a place in your film, and a person finishes every edit.

Can you film on short notice?

Often, yes. Put your date in the booking form and we will tell you within 2 working days whether we can do it.

02

Social media videos

How many videos do I get from one shoot?

A half-day shoot usually gives 8 to 12 good short videos. Our monthly plan delivers 8, with the best of the rest saved for later.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. Plenty of great content shows hands, products, places and customers. If you do want to be on camera, we will make it easy and keep the takes short.

Which platforms do you make videos for?

Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn. Each video is delivered in the right shape and length for where it is going.

Can we use trending sounds?

Business accounts should use music licensed for commercial use. We use licensed tracks, which keeps the risk of posts being muted or removed low.

03

Business and corporate films

How much does a corporate video cost?

A testimonial is £695 and a brand film starts at £1,295, plus VAT. The price list shows exactly what each one includes, and we confirm a fixed price before anything is booked.

How long does it take?

Most films are filmed in a half or full day. Short videos are delivered within 7 working days after the shoot and longer films within 10. Social cut-downs can come sooner if you need them.

Do you write the script?

Yes. For interview-led films we plan questions rather than scripts, so people sound like themselves. For explainers and training we write the script with you and agree it before filming.

Can you film at more than one site?

Yes. Tell us where in the booking form and we will plan the day around travel.

04

Property videos

How long does a property video take to film?

About an hour for a typical family home. Larger homes and agent-led tours take a little longer.

Can you add drone shots?

Not in-house at the moment. If you need aerial shots, we can bring in a licensed, insured drone operator and quote it separately.

Will it work on Rightmove and Zoopla?

We deliver in the formats the portals accept, and a link you can use for a virtual tour. Check your own portal package for which video features it includes.

What does the house need to look like?

Ready for photos is ready for video. We send a short checklist when you book: lights on, clutter away, cars off the drive if possible.

05

Events and conferences

How soon do we get the highlights?

Full-day bookings usually get a first social clip within 2 working days. Highlights films are delivered within 7 working days after the event.

Can you film and live stream the same event?

Yes. The live stream is recorded in full and we can edit highlights from the same cameras.

Do you need anything from the venue?

A feed from the sound desk for talks, a power socket near the cameras, and somewhere safe to keep our cases. For streaming, a wired internet connection.

06

Live streaming

What internet do you need?

A wired connection with at least 10 Mbps upload is ideal. We test it before the day. If the venue cannot provide one, we bring mobile data backup or hire a bonded 5G unit.

Can the stream be private?

Yes. The stream sits on a password page on your website and is not public or searchable. For tickets or confidential briefings, we use individual logins.

Can remote speakers join?

Yes. A remote speaker can join by video call and appear in the stream alongside the people in the room.

Do we get the recording?

Yes, the full recording, normally the same day, and an edited highlights version if you book it.

07

Editing and graphics

How do I send you footage?

We send you a link to upload to. Big files are fine.

Can you turn one long video into lots of short ones?

Yes. A webinar, talk or podcast episode usually gives 5 to 10 good short clips.

Which editing software do you use?

Professional editing and colour tools, with AI used where it saves time, such as transcripts and first-pass captions. Every edit is finished by a person.

08

Social media management

Which platforms do you manage?

Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok. The plan covers two platforms, more can be added.

Do you reply to comments and messages?

We flag anything that needs you and can reply to simple comments in your voice. Customer conversations stay with you.

Do you run paid ads?

We make the videos that ads need and can boost posts on a budget you set. Larger ad campaigns are quoted separately.

09

Video websites and platforms

Why not just put the videos on YouTube?

YouTube is great for being found, and we use it. But on your own site you control what plays next, nobody else's adverts appear, and private videos stay private.

Do you look after the website afterwards?

We can. Hosting and small updates are quoted monthly, or we hand it over to you.
