Video Production Cardiff

Most straightforward business video projects currently start from £895 for a half-day solo production with an agreed edit. The final quote changes with filming time, crew size, locations, editing, graphics and the number of finished videos. See our video production pricing for the current guide. A smaller brief may be quoted differently, but pricing should be tied to the work required rather than an unexplained “price per video”.

A filming day produces raw material, not a finished story. Post-production can involve reviewing hours of footage, selecting interview answers, building structure, synchronising cameras and sound, colour correction, audio clean-up, captions, graphics, music, brand changes and different delivery versions. A ten-minute film with several contributors can easily require more work in the edit than it did on location.

Sometimes. Filming inside your own office or private premises is normally a matter for the property owner or venue, but commercial filming on Cardiff Council streets or council-owned spaces can require permission. Locations such as Central Square, Cardiff Bay public areas, parks and other council land may therefore need checking before the shoot.

Yes. Conferences, launches, panel talks and business events can be recorded in full while separate footage is gathered for a shorter highlights edit. If both need strong coverage at the same time, a second camera or operator may be worthwhile. See our event filming and live streaming services.

We provide an online review route so feedback can be tied to exact points in the film. The fastest process is for your team to combine comments into one agreed list before sending them back. Structural changes are easiest early in the edit; changing the entire direction after graphics, sound and multiple versions have been finished naturally takes longer.

The most useful details are the filming location, preferred date, who will appear, what needs to be shown, the intended audience, approximate finished length, number of deliverables and deadline. If you already have a script, storyboard, brand guide or example video, send that too. A rough brief is fine if you need help shaping the rest.

Yes. This is often the best use of the budget. A single visit can produce a main film plus shorter interview extracts, social edits, recruitment material, product clips or internal versions. The key is deciding those outputs before filming so shots are framed and recorded with each use in mind.

Usually, yes. We look for a room with enough depth for the background, controllable noise, manageable daylight and space for lights. Glass meeting rooms can look good but often create reflections and poor sound; kitchens and open-plan areas are usually noisy. A quiet meeting room for the interview plus separate workplace footage often gives the best result.

Yes, where the location, weather, airspace and permissions allow. Cardiff has busy urban areas and controlled airspace considerations, so aerial filming should be checked rather than assumed. Where a flight is suitable, drone footage can be useful for premises, construction, property, venues and wider location context. See drone filming.

Yes, if agreed. Raw 4K camera files can be very large, so an SSD is often more practical than an online transfer. Raw footage is supplied as recorded unless you also request organisation, synchronisation, conversion, colour work or an editor-ready string-out. Tell us before filming if your internal editor needs a particular codec, frame rate or folder structure.
