Nimble. Focused. Collaborative.

Our Bournemouth-based video production team can shoot the dynamic content you need, whether in the studio, in London, or across the UK.

We’re the right choice for creative camera movements, technical lighting, and detail.

Crafted Product Videos in a Pro Studio

We are a video production studio, with product content at the heart of what we do.

We believe that by working closely with in-house marketing teams, and creative agencies, we can bring your studio-based ideas to life. That’s why we’re a trusted production partner, for brands and creative agencies, taking their studio-based content to the next level.

You’ll find that our role can flex, depending on what’s needed. We can lead stills and motion production from start to finish, or integrate with your existing team to support the creative vision.

As one of the leading commercial studios in the South, we’re well positioned to guide you through the process. We take great pride in our attention to detail, and know what’s realistic when aligning budgets to expectations.

Our clients often attend shoots; we have comfy sofas, wi-fi, and plenty of parking. And, you’ll always be able to see the live stream on a large monitor as we work.

We also shoot on location –  it’s straightforward for us to bring all the equipment to you. The results are equally good. You can also send us across the UK, or worldwide.

There’s a good selection of props, surfaces and materials in the studio, and with AI generative video software, you’ll get end-to-end service from a team flexible enough to meet any brief.

We believe that with the right people on set, and a calm, collaborative approach, we can ensure every video production delivers exactly what it needs to.

Frequently Asked Questions

The amount of videos we shoot varies with every project.

The most important thing to consider is the type of video content you need. We’ll always try and guide you during the enquiry process but it helps if you start with a clear idea of how many videos or clips you need, how long the takes are, and if you need them delivered as content clips or a finished promotional advert.

In short, there aren’t levels of service we offer, we only ever try to make excellent videography content – it is simply that some shoots are complex and others straightforward. If your project is complex then typically the shoot day produces less clips. If it is simple, you can generate more content.

Nearly all video projects are charged based on time. This is called a day rate.

Often our day rate will include the use of the studio, all our equipment and a couple of rounds of standard amends/edits.

We will always be transparent with costs and let you know how long we think your project needs by quoting or estimating the costs/amount of time from your brief.

These are the terms we use for time spent before and after a shoot.

Pre production refers to time allocated to planning a shoot. It can include meetings, sourcing items, booking accommodation or locations and making/creating backgrounds. Smaller projects often don’t need a pre production budget, but larger ones do if they involve the above tasks. Post production, or edit days, are charged on all projects. It is the time we take for editing pictures or video footage. We don’t allow our work to be delivered ‘RAW’, or unedited. This cost is always made clear up front and is an integral part of the process to ensure high quality retouched work is supplied.

Of course! We’ll shoot what you need.

We have extensive knowledge of crop ratios and video formats. When we go through the briefing process and pre production, we’ll ask you where the video is going, and what format you’d like it in. Often, we shoot at such high resolution that both common crops (16:9 and 9:16) are able to be taken from the same footage.

Yes – lots!

When you approach our industrial estate you’re looking for 16 Alder Hills, it’s the last on the right once you’ve driven up the hill. Enter the estate and look for Double Exposure Photographic. Follow the numbers round clockwise until you see Unit 5. You can park outside our studio, there’s plenty of space for 5 + vehicles.

Video is slightly different to photography, so we just need a little more information.

We’ll typically ask a few more questions if you have a moving image brief. We’re interested in the overall story or promotional narrative behind the sequences of shots you’ve drafted. This pre production planning is a wise idea to help the project run smoothly – we can then discern the shots we need to shoot, and in what order. We’ll ask about resolution, colour space, aspect and crop ratios. It’s helpful to know if it’s above or below the line, whether you need audio and a soundtrack and if there’s subtitles or voiceover. Additionally, to generate really engaging content we often use a slider, gimbals and specialist lighting. This additional equipment is often billed into the project as a separate cost when shooting videos.

It’s fine to be as involved in the shoots as you’d like to be.

Some clients prefer to drop off and go, others prefer to oversee all the fine detail. We get it, and are happy however you’d like to be involved. As an experienced studio we know that sometimes it’s important to sign off the images as we go through a shoot day, and this can happen in the studio or remotely. If you can’t make it to us, we can send images by email and WhatsApp so they can be shared internally with your team. We have comfy sofas, coffee, wi-fi and parking; so if you’d like to hang about, you’ll feel right at home!

All standard client amends are included.

After we’ve delivered your project (most likely via WeTransfer download, or a shared Dropbox folder), you may need some images edited or amended. Don’t worry, this is very common and all part of the creative process. We’ll handle all your ‘standard’ amends for free and subject to reasonable requests – it’s all part of the initial costs. If there are requirements we weren’t aware of, or haven’t quoted for (e.g. multiple different file formats, further editing, background AI or stock library composites) we will inform you of the additional studio editing costs and you can make the decision on how to proceed.
