Video production
First idea to final grade. One team the whole way through.
Video production, Manchester
Films with one job.
Tell us what you need to sell. We write it, shoot it and cut it. Every part in house, nothing farmed out.
The honest bit
Views are not sales.
3,000,000
Views. Fifty thousand new followers.
Everyone sent it to everyone. Nobody bought anything.
4,000
Views. Nobody shared it.
Booked out the diary for a month. Paid for itself in a week.
Same camera. Same budget. One of them knew who it was for.
What we make
Three things. Done properly.
No content packages. No posting schedules. No retainer you cannot get out of.
Adverts
Built for the feed and the skip button. Made to be watched.
Commercials
The film you get judged on. Written, shot and cut to hold a room.
How it works
Three stages. All ours.
Nobody gets handed to a stranger halfway through.
One
We work out what it is for
Before anyone picks up a camera. What you sell, who buys it, what the film has to make them do. Most people skip this. It is the part that decides whether the thing works.
Two
We shoot it
Our crew, our kit, our set. You get told where to stand and what happens next. Not a natural on camera? Normal. That is our problem, not yours.
Three
We cut it
Edit, sound, colour, graphics. Cuts come with timestamped notes, so feedback is a sentence instead of a meeting. You get the delivery date on day one and we hit it.
Pricing
What moves the number.
Three things decide what a film costs. Work out roughly where you sit before you ring.
Days on set
One, or three
One day with a small crew is a different animal to three with a full unit. Biggest lever by far, and the first thing we shrink when money is tight.
How many places
One room, or five
Every location is a pack down, a move, a set up and a relight. Two do not cost twice one. They cost more. One place is the cheapest good film there is.
What the edit builds
A cut, or a build
Assembling what we shot is one price. Graphics, animation, sound design and a grade from scratch is another. Most films land between the two.
Tell us your budget and we will tell you what it buys. If it does not buy something worth making, we will say that instead of taking it.
Straight answers
What people ask first.
We do not publish a price list, because the number depends on the three things above. You get a fixed price before anything starts, worked out on one call. It does not move unless you change the brief.
Good. That is the job. Most people arrive with a budget and a feeling they should be doing video. We start from what you sell and work back to the film. You do not need an idea.
Almost nobody is, including people you have watched and assumed were. Short takes, real answers, and a set run properly so you are not stood about while we think. If it still is not working, we build the film so it does not need faces.
You do not, and anyone promising otherwise is selling. What we do is agree the one thing the film is for, put it in writing, and build every decision around it. A film with one job can be judged. A film made to have content cannot.
Two to four weeks for most work, first call to delivery. Commercials run longer. You get the date at the start, in writing, and if anything threatens it you hear from us before you have to ask.
Start here
Tell us what you’re selling.
Twenty minutes on a call. We will tell you what we would make and roughly what it costs. If we are not right for it, we will say so.
