Corporate Video FAQs
Have questions about corporate video production in London? With over 15 years of experience filming everything from brand stories to events and documentaries, I've put together answers to the questions I get asked most.
These are based on real projects I've delivered for clients across London and beyond.

What are the main stages of a video project?
Most projects move through three main stages: pre-production, filming, and post-production.
Pre-production is where the planning happens. That can include scripting, storyboarding, location planning, scheduling, and deciding what kind of crew or setup the job needs. Good planning usually saves time and avoids unnecessary cost later.
Filming is the production stage itself. Depending on the brief, that might involve a simple one-camera setup, a larger multi-camera shoot, interviews, event coverage, or live streaming.
Post-production is where the footage is shaped into the finished piece. That usually includes editing, colour correction, sound work, graphics if needed, and a review process so the final version is properly refined.
How much does a corporate video typically cost in London?
2
It depends on the scope of the job. The main factors are usually the filming time, number of locations, crew size, complexity of the edit, and whether anything extra is needed, such as motion graphics, live streaming, or multiple cutdowns.
Some projects are relatively straightforward and can be handled leanly. Others need more planning and a broader production setup. The clearest way to price it properly is from a short conversation about the brief, so the quote reflects what the project actually needs rather than a generic package.
How long does a project take from start to finish?
3
A typical project can take anywhere from around two to eight weeks, depending on the complexity.
Smaller shoots with a clear brief can often move quickly. Projects involving multiple stakeholders, several filming days, or more detailed post-production usually take longer. If something is time-sensitive, I can often suggest a simpler workflow to help shorten turnaround without making the process chaotic.
Do you help with scripting for promotional videos?
4
Yes. I can help shape scripts and talking points so the message is clear, natural, and suited to the audience.
Sometimes that means writing from scratch. In other cases, it means refining an existing draft, tightening the structure, or helping a client avoid language that sounds too stiff on camera. The aim is not just to make the words sound good on paper, but to make them work properly in the finished video.
Can you handle live streaming for events?
5
Yes. I can provide live streaming for events where that is part of the brief, including multi-camera setups when needed.
The exact approach depends on the venue, the technical requirements, the audience, and how the event needs to be delivered. Some events need a simple, reliable stream. Others need fuller production support with multiple feeds, audio handling, and content that can also be repurposed afterwards.
How do you ensure high-quality editing?
6
Good editing comes from more than software. It comes from judgement, attention to detail, and understanding what the video needs to do.
My process usually includes careful shot selection, clear structure, colour correction, sound balancing, and review rounds so the final piece can be refined properly. Client feedback is part of that process, but the edit also needs a steady hand behind it so the finished video feels coherent rather than overworked
High-resolution MP4 or MOV files are standard for easy playback, delivery, and sharing.
If a project calls for something more specific, I can also provide formats such as ProRes for editing or broadcast workflows. Delivery is based on how the video will actually be used, so the final files are practical for the platform, team, or system receiving them.
What file formats do you deliver?
7
Typically, three rounds of revisions are included.
That is usually enough to refine the piece properly without dragging the process out. If a project needs a different review structure, that can be agreed in advance so expectations are clear on both sides.
