What we do ...

From initial discussions to final product, our aim is to find the best way of promoting you and your work. We specialise in sensible documentary filming which is then put together into a mini arts documentary -- always coherent, always relevant, by a professional film maker.

These are the main stages in the production of a 2 to 4 minute video to be put on YouTube or Vimeo (that's about the right length for internet videos) and used in other contexts. Services include:

  • Preliminary discussions with the author/artist

  • Study and thinking about author/artist's work

  • Pre-shoot consultation about nature of film, following due reflection

  • Shooting, one day or more, in an agreed location of interviews and other activities

  • Research for still and other visuals for general background including checking copyright

  • Production of other stills (e.g. book's pages and cover in context)

  • Sourcing and selection of music

  • Editing sound and vision into a unified whole

  • Uploading of a review copy and discussing with client

  • Making adjustments in the light of the discussion

  • Preparation of a Quicktime video file of the final film

  • Production of a ‘cover’ thumbnail still for YouTube and associated links

  • Uploading and managing the final video on YouTube, Amazon author page etc

A typical video involving more than one shoot starts at about £1,500. It depends on the exact requirements of the production. After an initial discussion we will be able to give a price for the work with a number of options.
