The questions, answered.
A working list of the questions most marketing and HR teams ask before commissioning a corporate film. If yours isn't here, drop us a line and we'll add it.
How much does a corporate video cost in London?
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.
Where are you based, and how far do you travel?
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.
What kinds of corporate video do you produce?
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.
Do you work with a crew, or solo?
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.
What does post-production turnaround usually look like?
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.
Do you provide raw footage?
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.
What do I need to send in a brief?
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.
Can you film at our event in-house, with confidentiality requirements?
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.
Do you do photography as well?
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.
