CORPORATE VIDEO · LONDON & BEYOND
Interviews, short films, and event coverage.
Films about people and the work they do, from one interview to the record of a whole day. I film and edit them myself. That is also why the film and the photographs can come off the same visit. Most people do not realise that is possible.

WHAT I MAKE
Three kinds of film.
01
Interviews & talking heads
People on camera, put at ease first. For your website or your hiring, anywhere a face and a voice work harder than a paragraph.
02
Short films & documentary work
A few minutes about a person, a team or a place, told properly, with real voices and a clear story.
03
Event films
Full recordings of talks and panels in 4K, or a short highlight cut with music. The record of the day, done without fuss.
RECENT WORK
Six films, six different jobs.
Watch the one closest to what you have in mind.
InisRé · Designing With Light
A short film made with InisRé about designing with light.
Innovation in Action
An event film. A panel on using AI and data in underwriting, recorded as it happened.
Lloyd’s Lab accelerator project
A short film about a Lloyd’s Lab accelerator project.
Mindful Photo Lab
A short documentary. Pierre Bureau runs photography workshops in East London, and he and the people who come to them talk about what the workshops give them.
St Giles’ Book Fair
A short film for a church and its funder. St Giles’ Cripplegate runs a volunteer book fair in the Barbican. The film shows Culture Mile BID what its grant paid for, and asks visitors and volunteers in.
London Startup Map
A one-minute promo for a website. Foo built London Startup Map, a map of the startups in London. He shows how to use it and how to add your own.
IF YOU NEED BOTH
Photos and film from one booking.
You can book both from me, so you do not need a separate video company. One set of dates, one invoice.
On a headshot day, I can also film a short introduction with each of your leaders.
At an event, I cannot take photos and film at the same time. A second photographer takes the photos while I film.
PRICING
What it costs.
These are starting prices. Every finished film has captions and licensed music. Two rounds of changes are included. On the short films I can also cut a vertical version for LinkedIn, if the film suits it. How long it takes depends on the film, and the date goes on your quote.

|---|---|---|
| Event film, half day | Up to 4 hours of filming, cut to a 60 to 90 second film | £800 |

PRACTICAL
Things people ask.
Can we get subtitles?
Yes. I can transcribe the video and add subtitles. Useful for talks, and for anyone watching with the sound off.
Can you photograph the event as well?
Not while I am filming, because I would miss things that matter. An event that needs both done properly gets a second photographer, priced in from the start.
Do you work outside London?
Yes, video especially. Interviews and films travel well, and I go where the work is. Travel inside London is included in every price. Outside London, it goes on your quote.
What can we use the film for?
Everything you make and put out yourselves, anywhere in the world, for as long as you like. The line is whether you are paying for the space: a boosted post, a YouTube pre-roll, an advert in a magazine. That is advertising, and it gets quoted separately.
One extra thing with video. Beyond my own licence, a film carries other people’s: the music, any stock footage, and the people on camera. Those are fine for everyday business use. Television, cinema and big national campaigns need clearing first, and that is easier and cheaper to sort before the shoot than after it, so tell me early if a film might go that way.
Who owns the film?
I keep the copyright, the same as with photographs, and you get the right to use it. That is how corporate video normally works, and it makes no practical difference to what you can do: the finished film is yours to use for running your business, anywhere, for as long as you like.
What stays with me is the raw footage, the unedited material the film was cut from. If you need that as well, say so and we will sort it out.
The prices above are where each film starts. Tell me what you are trying to say and who needs to see it, and I will come back with an exact price.
