Video Production

Yes. We'll manage everything including concept development, stylistic direction and storyboarding - right the way through to logistical planning, licensing, casting, crew and travel. And, of course, the editing, colour grading and sound design. At every stage, we'll check in with you for feedback and sign-off, ensuring we're all on the same page.

Video production can be used in so many ways; explainer videos, about us videos, corporate videos, how-tos, TV & cinema commercials, and of course, social video. Video production can be standalone (entirely film), or a video comprising of both film and animation. In terms of raw elements of video production, now we're getting into the more technical aspects, like camera set-up, dolly, drone, jib, actors, locations, props (the list goes on...). But don't worry, in our initial Discovery call, we'll explore the best route for your video, and the tools we need for the job.

You will own the copyright. Once the video production process has been completed and the film signed-off, you're free to use the media in any way you like. That said, we need to make sure from the outset that you'll have the correct licences for how you intend to use the media. For example, standard licensing, such as for voice over or music, generally won't cover advertising usage.

In the initial Discovery call, we'll establish with you how you plan to use the media. We'll then create a plan for producing media that meets the specifications of the platforms you indeed to use. As a general rule, you're free to upload the media to any platform of your choice (their restrictions permitting). However, tailoring media for each platform will yield much better results.

There are just so many variables involved, such as locations, actors, props, number of filming days etc, that it's hard to give a figure that's useful. That said, we've created a guide to give you a sense for how much different types of productions cost. Head over to our contact us page. Also, feel free to share examples that have inspired you as this can be incredibly useful for gauging expectations.

Typically, we need around 6-12 weeks for a standard corporate video. For commercials, depending on the approach, we typically need 12-16 weeks. It really comes down to the variables involved. For example, if we're using actors, we need to factor time for casting. Some shoots might require specialist set-up too, such as permissions for closing public roads/areas. We'll walk you through the process in more detail on our initial Discovery call.

We’ve built an rock-solid process video production that typically spans 6-10 weeks. In the initial Discovery call, we'll establish the best creative route based on your brief, budget and brand requirements. From here, we walk you through our thinking at every stage and show you how it will all come together - inc concept, script, stylistic routes, storyboard and edit. We'll also keep you informed of all the logistics and timings involved with the production itself. And, of course, sort all the permissions and licences for you.

As a general rule, we recommend you don't exceed 90 seconds for website content. For commercials, typically these are 15 or 30 seconds. However, some advertising platforms have specific requirements we need to adhere to. That said, there are times when you'll want longer content, such as thought-leadership content, or how-tos.

Wherever you like. Depending on the brief, there may be licensing considerations — for example, music or voice-over rights can vary for paid ads. Beyond that, we recommend tailoring your animated explainer video to the platforms you’ll use most. For instance, creating short social snippets alongside the main video maximises impact.

Most animated explainer videos take 6–8 weeks from kick-off to final delivery, covering scripting, storyboarding, animation, and revisions. Need it faster? We can streamline the process to meet tighter deadlines. Here is a strategic guide and full overview of the explainer video production process.

This is one of our most common questions. To make things simple, we’ve created a full explainer video cost guide with examples and price ranges. As a benchmark, a professional explainer video production typically starts from £10K–£25K+.

Yes. In Discovery, we’ll explore how you plan to use your video. For explainer video production, we often create short looping snippets for social media, which tend to outperform posting the full video. We’ll recommend the best mix depending on your audience and platforms.

As many as you need. Unlike many production companies that cap revisions, we ensure you’re happy at every stage of the explainer video production process. The only caveat: once a stage is signed off, reworking it later may incur extra costs. Thanks to our process, this is rare.

Yes. From the very outset we'll establish if you intend to use the media internationally. For these audiences, we'll want to ensure the script doesn't include any colloquialism or phrases only UK audiences will understand. We'll translate the script into your chosen language and provide you with VO samples. We'll then retime the video to perfect match the intended script pacing.

Explainer videos are versatile. They’re most effective at boosting website conversion rates, but a single explainer video production can also fuel social media campaigns, sales decks, onboarding, and even fundraising. The best results come from a strategy tailored to your goals.

Simply wonderful. Our clients often say the process is as enjoyable as the outcome. We believe video production should be a creative partnership, where your goals and our expertise combine to produce explainer videos that perform — and a process you genuinely enjoy.
