Price only makes sense next to what a film is for. Some videos pay their way in new clients. Others earn it in trust, donations, reputation or a bigger audience. Pick the main job you have in mind to see what success looks like, how you’d notice it and a setup that suits it.
People arrive already knowing who you are and how you work, so the first conversation starts warmer and fewer good enquiries drift away.

A video won’t do the job on its own. What it does is let people see and hear you before they meet you, every day it’s on your website, in your proposals and on your social channels. That’s why a film that looks and sounds like your organisation at its best usually earns its keep.
I’d rather you hear about these now than find them on an invoice. Most projects need none of them, and anything that applies is listed with its price in your quote before you agree to anything.

It’s built from the prices I quote clients in 2026, so it gives you a realistic starting point. Your actual quote depends on the details of your brief, such as how many people we interview, how much story development the film needs and how far we travel, so it can land lower or higher than the range shown.
A professionally filmed and edited two-minute corporate or promotional video usually costs £1,400 to £5,000. One filming day and one edit sit near the lower end. More filming days, interviews or extra versions for social media move it higher.
Because more of the work happens before and after the camera rolls. Brand films need research and story development, interviews with several people, filming across locations, and a longer edit to shape real conversations into a story. That groundwork is what makes them feel honest to the audience.
If you have your own editor, filming-only days start at £650. Charities and non-profits can often start around £1,000 with a lean package built around one story. Below that, tell me your budget and I’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
A 50% booking fee confirms your filming dates. The remaining 50% is invoiced when the finished video is delivered, and you have 30 days to pay it. Retainers are invoiced monthly.
