Question 1 of 8

What are you making?

Choose the option that best describes the main project.

How much help do you need planning the content?

This helps us estimate pre-production time. More planning support means more producer time before filming.

How much filming do you expect?

If you’re unsure, choose the closest option. Filming time is one of the biggest factors in production cost, and we can refine this after a call.

Do you need a producer/director for the shoot?

A producer/director manages the shoot, keeps everything on schedule and helps guide contributors and content on the day.

How many main videos do you need?

Count the main finished films, not short social cut-downs. More finished films usually mean more editing time.

Roughly how long will each main video be?

Use the typical length if you’re planning several videos. Longer films usually require more editing time.

How many social cut-downs would you like?

Short edits for LinkedIn, Instagram or other channels. Your project may already include some based on the amount of main editing.

Any specialist requirements?

These aren’t automatically priced into your estimate, but they help us identify anything we may need to discuss before providing a final quote.

Frequently asked questions

What you might want to know before we talk

No. It provides an estimated budget based on the information you select. Your final quote will depend on the specific requirements of your production, including locations, filming, contributors and deliverables.

Most of our projects fall between £2,000 and £6,000 + VAT. Straightforward productions can start from around £2,000, while projects involving multiple filming days, locations or deliverables may cost £6,000 or more.

Not necessarily. Production cost is usually affected more by what needs to be filmed and how complicated the production is than the final running time. A short advert could require considerably more production than a longer interview film.

Yes. Send us your project details and we'll talk through what you're trying to achieve before recommending an approach and providing a clear quote.
