What people ask before they brief in
What types of brand video do you produce?
Brand films, social content, product launches, event and race coverage, athlete profiles, founder interviews and paid ad creative. Everything is made to do a specific job for the brand.
How much does brand video production cost?
Brand film projects start from £1,200 and season retainers from £1,500 a month. After a 15-minute call you get three clear options with fixed prices within 24 hours.
Do you handle scripting and creative direction as well as filming?
Yes. I handle concept, scripting, storyboarding, direction, camera and edit. If you have an existing creative framework I work within it; if not, I build one with you.
What platforms do you produce video for?
Website hero video, Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, paid social on Meta and Google, and event screens. The platform list is agreed upfront so every deliverable is built for where it is going.
How long does video production take?
Turnaround is agreed before the shoot. Race-day and event highlights can be delivered the same night. Fixed deadlines are built into the scope from the start.
Who actually operates the camera on shoot days?
I do. The person you brief is the person behind the camera and in the edit, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Do you film in Bedford, Northampton, Oxford and Cambridge?
Yes. Fairford Studios is based in Milton Keynes and works across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire. Shoots in Bedford, Northampton, Oxford, Bicester and Luton carry no travel charge.
Can you film events further afield?
Yes. I work nationwide and across Europe. Recent projects covered Land's End to John o'Groats and the Tour de France route. Travel is agreed upfront and included in the price.
Do you film music, events and weddings too?
Yes. Alongside sport and brand work I film festivals, gigs, charity events and weddings, with the same approach: shot quietly from the inside, edited for where it will be watched. Recent music work includes Charlie Ward at CarFest and Camper Calling.
Do you shoot photography as well as video?
Yes. Most photography briefs come from brands booking video, often on the same shoot day. Recent examples include Lizzie Deignan and Lidl-Trek, Project 21|12 and Marks and Spencer's Land's End to John o'Groats ride.
Race weekend, gig or wedding coming up?
Tell me the project and the date. You'll get three priced options within 24 hours.
