How we work


Whatever you need made, the price and the dates are agreed in writing before it starts, and the same studio carries it from the brief to delivery.



Three ways to work

One launch, one fixed price

Launch packs

One hero film plus a fixed set of cutdowns, retouched stills and social formats, at a fixed price, delivered on a date agreed before we start.

Brand and product marketing teams with a launch date and no time to brief six suppliers.

Quoted per batch

Versioning and localisation

Cutdowns, format variants, translations, AI voice and market or compliance versions from a film you already have. The fastest way to get more out of content you already own.

Brands and broadcasters with a library and many channels, markets or languages.

Booked by the month

Monthly production

A fixed number of finished films, versions and stills every month, the same studio on your account, next-business-day turnaround on the routine work.

In-house content teams at retailers, beauty brands and health companies that publish every week.

Where the AI is, and where it is not

What the AI does

Reformatting, rough assembly, translation drafts, voice, upscaling, clean-up, versions. The mechanical half of production, done in hours instead of days.

What a person does

The idea, the art direction, the edit decisions, every claim check, every client conversation. Nothing is delivered that has not been art-directed.

When we do not use it

Where a client has asked us not to, where the brief needs a shoot, or where a model would put a client's material somewhere it should not be. We say which, in the scope.

How a price is made

What a price is actually based on

The time the work takes, not the length of the film. Two three-minute films can differ by a week: one is a trim and a colour pass, the other is hours of rushes, motion graphics, subtitles and a voiceover. A clear brief makes the estimate accurate, which is why the price can be fixed before we start.

What we will not change without asking

Your specification is the brief. We give creative direction when you want it, and we make no change you have not approved. If we think something would be better another way, you hear the reason and you decide.

What protects your material

Terms of Business signed before the work starts, carrying the confidentiality and copyright terms and an NDA. Your personal data is handled under UK GDPR and used only as the privacy policy says.

Editing, motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, filming, VFX and retouching. One studio carries a job through all of them, so nothing is handed between suppliers halfway.
