We're an award-winning video production business based in Essex, with over a decade of experience and dedication to the craft.
We partner with brands to level up their marketing videos from standout hero films, to monthly content subscriptions.
We also work across the event industry capturing our artful, dynamic recap films, showcasing the best in UK hospitality.
We're nimble and nifty, often operating as a solo director-shooter or small crew depending on the needs of the production.
This allows us to keep our productions personal and scalable to project scope without compromising attention to detail.
We make it fun too,
we love what we do.

Of course we can!
We're always happy to guide and help shape the concept of the video to suit your needs. The amount of client involvement on the pre-production of a video varies per project and we're always open to being as collaborative in that creative process as needed.
We value a rich and detailed approach to pre-production and make time to workshop ideas and research the best strategy for each video project. We also work with agencies who bring us on board once an idea has been greenlit and it's then our jobs to bring that vision to life.
Our pricing varies depending on project scope, the deliverables and the kind of video(s) we're creating as the processes are always different.
Our event recaps are structured as tiered packages starting at £1,350. The time spent on location, length of the edit required and number of crew members all effect the project cost. Similarly, our content subscriptions have tiers based on the range of deliverables we offer.
We require a 50% upfront payment of project costs to lock in dates and start pre-production. The remaining fee is due upon completion of the project and upon receipt, your fresh new video content will be unlocked for download on our review platforms.
All it takes to get a better idea of rates is to get in touch via our contact form and we'll get back to you with a quote based on your needs.
The timeline of a project will naturally vary but here's a rough guideline. Pre-production will typically span a few weeks, this will involve our initial meeting, filling out our brand or event questionnaire and narrowing down the plan in the build up to the shoot. This could involve arranging locations, booking talent, or creating a phone-shot pre-vis edit to ensure our visions align.
Production can last a single day and up to a week for more complex projects across locations or with many setups and moving parts.
Post-production and revisions for shorter projects can be expected within 10 working days of the shoot and may require 2-3 weeks for more bespoke or multiple deliverable projects.
When we shoot events we guarantee a shiny first draft that we'd be happy to release within a week of the shoot date.
Our main cameras are the latest Panasonic full-frame mirrorless hybrid beauties. They're great in low light, which is ideal for events, they capture uncompressed 6K & 4K in various frame rates and they're portable enough for us to stick on a gimbal or rig out with all the accessories and not break our backs on a full day shoot. We also have all the usual monitors, pro-mics, wired and wireless, autocue, film lighting and robotic gadgets to bring our ideas to life.
And if we don't have what we need and it's integral to our concept, we'll hire from one of our trusted rental houses!
We've sent raw footage a handful of times in our decade of filming with the exception of the digital agencies that we shoot for.
Our deliverable options and add-ons make it possible for you to collect all of the usable clips from the cutting room floor, in a variety of formats. We only ask you don't whack a colour adjusting filter over it and ruin our precious colour grading work.
This is our 'Selects' deliverable and includes all usable A & B-Roll from your project, colour graded and in various aspect ratios to be used to build your own in-house reels, marketing posts that need some captivating video to drive engagement etc.
We keep the materials from your project archived in the cloud and on physical backup drives, so if you get the itch to refresh your website or update a hero film with new footage or a re-edit, we'll be able to dig out the project file and keep the quality consistent.
