BRAND FILM PRODUCTION
EST 2017
The brands that hire us for a brand film tend to hire us again.
Why a brand film
STORY, NOT SPECS
A brand film builds memory, meaning and trust, the things a feature list never can. It tells people what you stand for, so choosing you feels like the obvious decision long after the film ends.
BUILT TO BE REMEMBERED
Every film is built around the result it has to earn: a brand people recall at the moment of choice, a higher perceived value, and trust that makes the sale easier before a word is spoken.
ONE SHOOT, EVERY CHANNEL
From one shoot you get the hero brand film plus the cut-downs your channels need: social edits, paid-ad variants and stills, delivered in 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 16:9, ready to run.
Why most brand video fails
JUDGED ON THE WRONG THING
Most brand video is judged on how it looks. The better question is what it does. You can hire 8K cameras and a long shot list and still make something nobody finishes watching, because resolution was never the reason anyone cared.
PAY ONCE, OR PAY TWICE
Brief it to a cheap freelancer and the saving shows up on screen. Brief it to a do-everything agency and the shoot gets subcontracted to people you never meet, so your budget pays for a management layer instead of the craft. Either way you pay twice: once for the film you got, and again for the one you should have made.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
Questions
Because video is the only thing we do, in-house. A cheap freelancer saves money in a way that shows up on screen and cheapens the brand. A full-service agency subcontracts the shoot and bills you for the management layer. With us, your whole budget goes into the film, and the team that pitches you is the team that makes it.
Yes, mostly. Sometimes we bring in external people to handle specific tasks. We might hire lighting specialists and extra videographers, depending on the shoot's size, type, or style. We build out a team as needed.
A corporate video informs. A brand film makes people feel something and remember you, so it keeps working long after it goes live. One reports, the other returns.
A brand film is a premium investment, scoped to the project: the idea, shoot days, locations, cast and how many cut-downs you need. Tell us what you want the film to achieve and we will scope it properly and give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
Most brand films run from brief to final delivery over a few weeks, covering pre-production, the shoot and post. We agree the schedule with you up front, and tighter turnarounds for social cut-downs against a deadline are usually possible.
We are a UK brand film specialist with our HQ in Lancaster, working across the UK and internationally, including regularly in Manchester and London. We work in our studio or on location, wherever the story needs us.
