Event video
Coverage of occasions and functions, edited into a record of the day rather than raw footage handed over unstructured.
Videography & video production
Filming, editing and the practical business of sound
Event video, business video, promotional content, social media clips, corporate communications and personal projects — planned around location, schedule, audio conditions, access, permissions and the platforms the finished edit is made for.
Filming • Audio • Sequencing • Colour • Export formats
What the video is for decides everything else
Length, format, pacing, audio approach and licensing all follow from the destination. Establishing that first prevents an edit being remade for a channel nobody mentioned.
Business video
Organisational content for websites, recruitment and internal use — explaining what a business does in a way text alone struggles with.
Promotional video
Short-form content built around a single message, with the length and pacing set by where it will be published.
Social media clips
Vertical and square formats cut specifically for each platform, rather than a landscape edit cropped and hoped for the best.
Corporate communications
Announcements, briefings and internal messaging, with consent and distribution handled appropriately for staff audiences.
Personal projects
Private and creative video work, from family records to collaborative projects with artists and makers.
On set
Time on location is the real constraint
Filming takes longer than photographing the same subject. Lighting, audio setup and multiple takes all consume the schedule, so coverage is prioritised rather than assumed.
Filming, audio and location
Three conditions govern a shoot day: what the space sounds like, what the light is doing, and how much of the location you are actually allowed to use.
Filming
- Framing, movement and coverage
- Available and supplementary lighting
- Multiple takes where the setting allows
- Cutaway and detail footage
Audio considerations
- Room acoustics and background noise
- Microphone placement for speech
- Air conditioning, traffic and crowd noise
- Audio quality limits what can be fixed later
On location
- Access, setup time and power
- Permission to film at the location
- Anyone appearing on camera and their consent
- Weather dependency for outdoor filming
Sequencing, sound, colour and export
Editing is where a day of footage becomes something watchable. The structure, the audio balance and the export settings each matter as much as the filming itself.
Sequencing
- Structure and narrative order
- Pacing to suit the platform
- Transitions where they serve the edit
- Captions and titles where agreed
Audio and colour
- Audio level balancing
- Noise reduction within practical limits
- Colour correction for consistency
- Music subject to licensing
Export and delivery
- Platform-appropriate resolutions
- Aspect ratios per channel
- Compression suited to the destination
- Digital delivery in agreed formats
What shapes this service
Questions worth asking early
Why does audio get mentioned so much?
Because it is the thing most often underestimated and the hardest to fix afterwards. Viewers tolerate imperfect picture far better than poor sound, and background noise recorded on location can only be reduced so far in editing. Assessing the acoustics of a room before filming is genuinely important.
Can we use a popular song in our video?
Only with the appropriate licence. Music rights differ depending on whether a video is for a social post, a public screening or a paid advertisement, and commercial tracks generally require a licence obtained from the rights holder. Licensed production music is usually the practical route, and it is agreed as part of scope.
Do you offer drone filming?
Drone filming is not offered as a listed service on this website. If aerial footage is important to a project, raise it at enquiry stage and it can be discussed — it would depend on permissions, airspace restrictions and appropriate qualified operators.
How long should our video be?
That follows from where it will be published. A social clip, a website explainer and a conference-opening film have very different useful lengths. Deciding the destination first, then the length, produces a better result than the other way round.
How many rounds of changes are included?
A defined number of review rounds is agreed as part of scope rather than left open-ended. Video edits can absorb unlimited revision if allowed to, so setting the number in advance protects both the timeline and the budget.
Will the video perform well on social media?
No promise is made about reach, engagement or marketing outcomes. Those depend on platform algorithms, audience, timing and spend, none of which are within our control. What is offered is a well-produced edit prepared to the correct format for the channel.
Often combined with
Most projects use more than one service. Combining them under a single brief keeps creative direction, file preparation and usage consistent from capture through to delivery.
