Let's demystify the process of video production. We estimate this example to cost around £3.5-4.5k because we logged roughly:

2 days of production management which is high as we scripted and directed a narrative based film. As a ballpark we estimate 1/2 day management per day of shoot and edit. This could be higher for complex projects or lower if you can help with the creative or coordination. This includes scheduling, edit supervision and producing documentation such as risk assessments.

No shoot as this was post production only. We can work with assets our client provides such as images, logos and photos (lower budget), use assets from libraries of stock images, videos and graphics (medium budget) or design and produce original 2D / 3D animation (higher budget). Often we do a mix of all.

6 days of post production time. Generally the length of post production depends on the volume of footage, number of deliverable versions (eg social cuts) and rounds of revisions budgeted. This was not consecutive days as we leave gaps for client feedback.

No voiceover recorded by us. VO is very effective but requires actor fees as well as scripting, recording and editing time. We only suggest professional VO if there's not a more cost effective way to convey information such as interviews, on screen text or a recording provided by your team.

Animation / graphic design formed most of the post production. We can design simple titles or use stock animation as part of the edit process but where possible, as we did here, we suggest budgeting for original animation to elevate and brand any film.

Festival Announcement Promo

This launch video was created to introduce Paisley Alive, Scotland’s first-ever music, fitness, and wellness festival, set to debut in 2026. As the event is still in its pre-launch phase, the video serves as both an imaginative teaser and a call to action for the community. Featuring Scott McFarlane—the festival’s founder—running through the streets and landmarks of Paisley, the piece captures the vision behind the festival: movement, energy, and connection. It aims to build excitement and establish a recognizable tone and identity for a festival that, at the time of filming, existed only as an idea.
