Video production
Video production that
fits round a working day.
Most video production is built for companies with a marketing department and a spare afternoon. Yours is neither. I film on your site, on a phone, while the work carries on, and you get footage that looks like your business rather than a stock library.
Filmed where the work happens
There is no studio to book and no crew to feed. A phone and a small mount fit round a live site in a way a camera rig does not, so the job keeps moving while it is being filmed. That is the whole reason it works for trades: the cost of being filmed is close to nothing in lost time.
It also looks right. A kitchen half-fitted, a board being cut, a floor coming up. People recognise real work, and they are deeply good at spotting the opposite.
Short form for reach, long form for trust
Short form is what gets you in front of people who have never heard of you. It is built for the way a thumb moves: the first second has to earn the second second, and most of it is watched with the sound off.
Long form is for the people short form sent your way. Someone deciding whether to let you into their house for three weeks wants more than fifteen seconds. A longer piece is where you show you actually know your trade.
Most businesses need both, cut from the same day's filming. That is usually what makes it worth the trip.
What a filming day looks like
I turn up where you are working, stay out of the way, and film what is already happening. You do not need a script, a shot list or a change of clothes. If there is something a client will not have on camera, we sort that first.
Afterwards it gets cut short and long, captioned, and handed over ready to post, or posted for you if that is the arrangement.
Before you ask
Questions that come up.
Do I need to be on camera for video production to work?
No. A lot of the strongest work has no face in it at all: the problem, the graft and the finish. If you do want to be on camera it can be built up gradually rather than dropped on you on the first day.
How much of my working day does filming cost me?
Less than people expect, because nothing stops for it. There is no lighting setup and no crew waiting on you. The filming happens around the job rather than the job happening around the filming.
Which areas do you film in?
Cardiff, the Vale, Newport and Gwent, the Valleys, Bridgend, Swansea Bay and out west through Llanelli and Carmarthen. Most filming sits within an hour of Cardiff; further west gets its own day booked in.
