Nottingham · East Midlands
Nottingham is home. Hold That Shot started here in 2012, the city is still our base, and every price is on our website.
Nottingham has the kind of business mix that suits video: life sciences and healthcare, finance and professional services, digital and creative studios, and two universities. You find them in the Lace Market and Hockley, in offices around the city centre and on the business parks at the edge of town. Being based here makes it easy to visit before the shoot and to fit in short notice jobs.
Your job might be a brand film for an office on one of those business parks, a conference or launch in the city, or social media videos and property tours for a firm nearer the centre. This page sets out what each of those costs, how a shoot works and the parts of Nottinghamshire we cover.
Corporate video production in Nottingham usually starts with one of a few briefs: a brand film for the website, a customer testimonial, a recruitment video or a short series to train new staff. We have made a case study for MHR Analytics, a business in the Nottingham area, and it is one of the films on our work page.
A typical shoot is a half day or a full day at your own offices. A brand film starts with a planning call and a written shot plan, and because we are based here we can arrange a visit to the space before the day if you would like one. Case studies and testimonials suit sectors where buyers want proof before they sign. If you are weighing up budgets, read what a corporate video costs or go straight to the price list.
A good first film is a testimonial. One client is interviewed at their premises or yours, and we cut it to about 90 seconds with two vertical versions for social media, for £695 plus VAT. It suits Nottingham's law, accountancy and consultancy firms in particular, because a client can say things about your work that would sound like boasting from you. A full brand film is from £1,950 plus VAT: the planning call and shot plan, a full day of filming, a two to three minute film and three short cut-downs, with two rounds of changes, ready within 10 working days of the shoot.
Recruitment and training films are the other big use. A training or explainer series gives you up to five short videos from one day of filming, with scripts agreed in advance and subtitles on every video. It costs from £1,950 plus VAT. It suits the city's hospitals, labs and contact centres, where the same induction talk would otherwise be given to every new starter.
Product and promotional films, sometimes called commercial video, are made to sell something: a product video for an online shop, a film for a launch, or short clips for social media. Nottingham's makers, retailers and food and drink brands use it to show a product working, which a still photo cannot do on its own.
We plan every commercial shoot around where the video will be watched. A film for a product page has to make sense with the sound off. A clip for Instagram or TikTok needs its point made in the first three seconds. A promotional loop for a trade show stand has to work without a beginning or an end. Tell us where the video will live when you book and we will shoot for that from the start, so nothing has to be forced to fit later.
Conferences and events happen in Nottingham all year, at venues such as Trent Bridge, the conference centres at both universities, hotels and company offices across the centre. We are happy to work in any of them. Event filming in Nottingham covers launches, awards and open days, and live streaming puts a conference, AGM or staff briefing online as it happens.
For most Nottingham events a half day is enough. It is £545 plus VAT for up to four hours with one camera operator, a 60 to 90 second highlights film and three vertical clips. A full day of up to nine hours is £750, with a two minute highlights film, five clips and the first clip usually within two working days. Conference recordings, with two cameras on the stage, sound from the venue's desk and each talk edited with its slides, are from £995. A two camera live stream, mixed live and sent to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook or a private page, is from £695.
In the city centre, parking and loading can be tight. Tell us where our crew can unload and we will arrange arrival times to suit. Planning a stream? Our checklist for live streaming a conference lists what to ask the venue.
Hockley and the Lace Market are full of independent shops, bars, salons and studios, and the same is true of West Bridgford, Beeston and Mapperley. For them, short and regular social media video in Nottingham does more than one polished film a year. A trial shoot of up to three hours gives you four captioned vertical videos for £395. The monthly plan is £745 a month on a 3 month minimum: a half day at your business each month, cut into eight short videos with a simple posting plan.
If you would rather not post them yourself, the done for you plan at £1,095 a month adds four more videos, posts them on up to three platforms and sends a short report on what worked. Our guide to social media video for small businesses explains how a month of content fits together.
Estate agents and letting agents in the city, West Bridgford, Beeston and the suburbs can book property video and property photography from the same visit. We have filmed for more than 100 estate agents through The Property Collection. A property tour is £209 and a set of up to 20 edited photos is £119, both ready within 3 working days, and we collect and return keys from your branch.
We film all over Greater Nottingham, from the city centre, Hockley and the Lace Market to West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold and Hucknall, and further out in Newark, Mansfield and Southwell.
Travel is included anywhere in the East and West Midlands, so the price is the same in Newark as it is in the Lace Market. Same-week shoots are often possible. Put your date in the booking form and we will reply within 1 working day.
First, pick a package from the price list or describe the job in your own words in the booking form. It takes about two minutes and there is nothing to pay to send it. Within 1 working day you get a confirmed date, a fixed price and a short plan for the shoot. A 25% deposit then holds the date, and the rest is invoiced when you have the finished video.
On the day we arrive early, set up lighting and sound, and keep disruption to your team as small as we can. Most short videos are ready within 7 working days of the shoot and longer films within 10, sized for your website and every social platform. We use AI for routine jobs such as transcripts and captions, and a person checks every film before you see it. Read how we use AI in video production for the details.
