Freelance videography costs
The pricing for video production varies greatly, but our freelance filmmakers usually charge a flat rate of about £350-450/day across different types of video production projects. You'll need to take into account any pre-production and editing needs too.
This allows to form transparency and trust. Most videography projects cost from about £750 for the simplest ones to several thousands for larger ones.
The cost of video production depends on: length of the final video, duration & complexity of the shoot (renting a space, make up, lights, equipment rental), complexity of the edit (VFX, 4K etc), licensing specific songs, etc.

Featured freelance videographers
Meet the team running the show behind the ones and zeros.
Bear in mind that we also run a wider, meticulously curated network of freelancers (3D animators, illustrators, etc) whom we rely on wherever we need to plug any skills gaps.
Note that we are actively looking for female videographers, as we are lacking in that department. At least our digital and design teams make up for that imbalance for now!

How we work
Depending on preferences, we manage our client projects in Asana, Trello or Notion.
Beyond the usual "Zoom call" (although we're more of the Google Meet kind), we're expert at asynchronous communications, frequently relying on Looms (video recordings) as well as voice notes and WhatsApp groups for bigger projects ( so we're always just a text away).
We'll start your project with a Discover call to get the full picture of your needs and objectives - to avoid any misunderstanding and miscommunication down the line.

VAT or No VAT
Essentially, we can do both. We usually go through the limited company for larger projects and that's where clients can claim VAT, however for smaller ones we tend to be hired as digital consultants or freelance videographers - but both options are possible.
Where we've worked
We're Londoners at heart (among other places 😁) and we've filmed projects all over the city from corporate documentaries in Islington to NHS films in Denmark Hill and studio sessions with musicians in East Acton or Hackney.
Since then, we've expanded further South to Hampshire & Cornwall and ran videography projects further up the North in the Peak District and Scotland.
Aside from that you will often find us - or our carefully selected freelance videographers - in France, Germany, China and East Africa.
