We offer a full production service, from concept to delivery.

1. Discovery

This is the bit where we have a chat, find out what your intended outcomes are, any ideas you might have around creative, meet your marketing team or your agency, throw around some initial ideas to get a good starting budget. At the end of this we’ll have nailed down a solid brief and agreed a budget.

2. Pre production

We can do as much or as little as you like when it comes to pre production, but the kind of things you need to be thinking about are:

  • locations and potential location scouts

  • talent or models and a potential casting

  • script and perhaps some basic storyboards or shot list

  • health and safety, catering and transport for the shoot

  • locked down budget

  • call sheets

3. Video Shoot

This is the really critical part and mistakes can be expensive. We’ll use high quality cinema cameras and lenses to capture broadcast quality video at 4K and upwards, in real time or slow motion, with lights, dollies, tracks, cranes, steadicams, vehicle rigs and gimbals, not to mention caa 102 certified drone aerials.

By the time we get to the shoot everything should be planned out and it’ll be a case of following the call sheet to get the shots! We will work in with you to cover all the roles that are required such as:

  • Producer

  • Director

  • Cinematographer

  • Art director

  • Sound

  • Grip and Gaffer

  • Assistants

4. Post Production

Using industry standard post production tools we'll edit, colour grade and design a sound track to make your film unique and compelling.

Once it is all approved we’ll master to formats for TV, cinema, web or bill boards and physical screens.

… and what then?

If you need a hand to run an advertising campaign or promote your video, we can hook you up with the right people to make sure your video gets to work for you.

… and what does it cost?

We offer a bespoke service, so every video project is priced individually. The best thing you can do is to get in touch to chat about your vision.

… yes but what does it cost?

The biggest effects on price are (in order):

  • accurate planning/script - know what outcomes you need and then leave it to the pros

  • shoot size (crew and time) - we’ll help you find the ideal shoot and crew size to realise your vision and stick to your budget

  • duration of video and deliverables - we’ll help you hone your vision to its simplest and most effective form - it’ll work better and be much more efficient to create.

Bearing in mind that each project is different, here are some ball park budget numbers.

  • Storytelling videos can generally be produced with the smallest crew but can take longer to shoot and as they are often only roughly scripted. They can also take a bit longer in post as that is where a lot of decisions are made. They start at around $6K+ for a 1 min video or around $3K+ per finished minute for longer videos.

  • Brand videos often require higher production value shots, ie shots that look expensive. This often means adding the likes of aerial shots or more cinematic shots, which means that crews often need to be bigger. On the other hand, shoots are usually run to a tight schedule and shot list and post production is usually quite straight forward. They usually start at around $10K+ or $5K+ per finished minute for longer videos.

  • Commercials/Adverts require the tightest planning as they often involve a lot more people like actors, models, art directors, stylists, props and so on. Usually this means crews are larger too as the shots are more complex involving more lighting, camera rigs and set building. They usually start at $15K+.
