Who it's for

If people choose you for how it's made

Coffee roasters, breweries, distilleries and food & drink producers. Bespoke kitchen, joinery and interior studios. Makers and craftspeople of every kind. Building craft: conversions, restorations and architecture with a story to tell. And hospitality, from destination inns, gastropubs and spas to hotels, restaurants, bars and cafés, where the film books the visit.

If people choose you for how it's made, this is for you.

Services & prices

Priced by the day

A day's filming or a day in the edit is £360. That's the full price: I'm not VAT-registered, so there's no VAT to add.

Launch offer: my first five films are half price, in exchange for using the finished film in my portfolio. A few places left. The first filming day and the first day in the edit are £360 together instead of £720; any extra days are at the usual rate. It's agreed in writing when you book and applies to brand films, mini-documentaries and campaigns, not B-roll days or monthly content.

Monthly content

A half-day filming visit each month, edited, with photos and short clips delivered by cloud link ready to post.

For businesses that post regularly and run out of good footage. You don't need to have made a film with me first.

From £300 a month

£300 covers one half-day visit a month, the editing and delivery by cloud link. More visits, or a full day, are quoted, so you get a fixed monthly price. No account management or posting: you keep control of your channels.

  • Edited photos and short clips, ready to post

Aerial filming

Drone footage on its own: your building, its setting and the land around it, filmed from the air and delivered as graded clips.

For when you only need the shots from the air: a venue in its landscape, a site before and after the work, a mill by the canal, the view from the roof. The clips are yours to cut into a film I haven't made.

£180 a half day

A full day is £360. Most jobs fit in a half day. If you're booking a filming day with me as well, drone footage is an add-on at £175 instead.

What's included

  • A half day or a day of drone filming at your location
  • Graded clips, delivered by download link
  • The airspace checked before every flight
  • CAA-registered operator, insured for commercial work

The process

  1. A quick chat What you want from the air, where it is and what the footage is for.
  2. Airspace and a fixed price I check the airspace and any restrictions around the site, then send a written quote. I'll need the landowner's OK to take off from the site.
  3. The flight A half day or a day on site. I only fly when it's safe to, so a wet or windy day is rebooked.
  4. Your clips Graded clips by download link, ready to drop into your own edit.

Questions

Prices and filming, answered

How much does a brand film cost?

A 60 to 90 second brand film starts from £720: a day's filming and a day in the edit, at £360 each. Exterior drone footage adds £175, which makes £895. That's the full price.

If your film needs more than a day's filming or a longer edit, each extra day is £360. Longer films, like founder stories and mini-documentaries, also start from £720 and are priced by the day at the same rate. Every project gets a fixed written quote before anything is filmed.

How much do you charge per day?

£360 a day for filming or editing. Everything is priced by the day: a brand film starts from £720, a filming day plus the edit, and a B-roll day is £360.

What is B-roll, and what do I get from a B-roll day?

B-roll is the footage around the main story, like hands at work or a room filling up. It is what most businesses run short of when they post on social media.

A B-roll day is a day's filming at your business for £360. You get usually 30 to 40 clips, and never fewer than 20, to edit and post yourself, with a choice of colour grades and playback speeds, including slow motion.

Do you use a drone, and is it legal at my premises?

Yes. Exterior drone footage can be added to any filming day for £175, or booked on its own as aerial filming, and flown properly it's legal. I hold a CAA Operator ID and Flyer ID, fly a class-marked drone within the CAA's Open category rules, and I'm insured for commercial drone work. I check the airspace for every job and never fly over crowds.

Can I hire you just for drone footage?

Yes. Aerial filming on its own is £180 for a half day or £360 for a day, delivered as graded clips by download link for you or your editor to use. I hold a CAA Operator ID and Flyer ID, fly a class-marked drone within the CAA's Open category rules, and I'm insured for commercial drone work. I check the airspace for every job and never fly over crowds.

If you're booking a filming day with me as well, exterior drone footage is an add-on at £175 instead.
