Video production company in Birmingham

We cover Birmingham, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, with travel included anywhere in the West Midlands.

Video for Birmingham businesses

Birmingham is the region's business capital. Professional services cluster around Colmore Row and Brindleyplace, the Jewellery Quarter and Digbeth are full of makers and creative firms, several universities sit in or beside the centre, and engineering and car making fill the area around Solihull. It is also a major conference city, with the NEC, the ICC and Millennium Point.

For Birmingham firms, video can mean filming a conference and streaming it live on the same day, a brand film for a city centre office, or regular property videos for an agency.

Conference filming and live streaming in Birmingham

Conferences in Birmingham happen at venues such as the NEC, the ICC, Millennium Point and Edgbaston Stadium, as well as in hotels and universities. For conference filming in Birmingham we put two cameras on the stage, take sound from the venue's desk and record the slides, so each talk can be edited into something people will watch afterwards. We can also live stream the same event to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook or a private page.

Large venues have their own rules. They often need the organiser's approval for outside crews, paperwork in advance and agreed times for loading in. Tell us the venue and its insurance and paperwork requirements when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide before you book. Our checklist for live streaming a conference lists what to ask.

Delegates travel to Birmingham from all over the country. Streaming lets the people who cannot make the trip watch live, and the recording lets everyone catch up later.

Corporate video for Birmingham businesses

Corporate video production in Birmingham often means a brand film for a city centre office, a testimonial from a client, or a recruitment video for a firm competing for staff. We plan the day with you first, then film at your premises. If you make things in the Jewellery Quarter or run a studio in Digbeth, a short film of the work itself, with cut-downs for social, is a good place to start.

The camera operator who set up Hold That Shot worked on the host broadcast coverage of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, so a busy site on a tight schedule is familiar ground. See our work for the films we have made.

Property video and working in Birmingham

Birmingham's property market is busy. Agents in Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Edgbaston and across the city can book property video, photos, floor plans and 360° tours from one visit. Our guide to estate agent video tours explains what to ask for.

We travel from Nottingham, which is around an hour away, and travel is included across the West Midlands. For a morning conference we plan an early load in, and same-week shoots are often possible.

Questions

Video production in Birmingham: your questions

Do you charge travel to Birmingham?

No. Travel is included anywhere in the East and West Midlands, which covers Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and the Black Country. If your event is beyond the Midlands, travel is 55p a mile, and we agree it before you book.

Can you film at the NEC or the ICC?

We can film at any Birmingham venue, including the NEC and the ICC, if the venue and the organiser agree. Large venues often have rules for outside crews, so tell us the venue and the date when you enquire. Tell us the venue's insurance requirements too, and we will confirm what we can provide before you book.

Can you live stream a conference in Birmingham?

Yes. We can stream a conference from any Birmingham venue with two or three cameras, your slides and name captions on screen, and a full recording afterwards. We ask the venue for a wired connection and test it ahead of the event.

How quickly do we get conference highlights?

On a full-day booking the first social clip is usually ready within 2 working days, and a highlights film is delivered within 7 working days after the event. If you live stream, the full recording is normally ready the same day.
