Three new video packages
We know clients often find commissioning video complicated and time consuming.
In response, we’ve put together three packages that we hope are keenly priced, and cover most jobs:
Backpack
A set up that can be carried on public transport! A video journalist plus a digital SLR or “prosumer” video camera, depending on the needs of the job, and a microphone.
Suitable for simple pieces to camera, vox pops and interviews, as well as basic events coverage. Suited to work outside, or in venues where it’s possible to film using ambient light.
This option is an economical choice for jobs where material will go out over the Internet, or on DVD.
Cost: £400/day
Car boot
Journalist plus a single professional video camera, audio equipment and a lighting kit.
Ideal for more complex interviews — with two speakers or an interviewer and interviewee on camera – and where the task demands a higher-quality image.
Also suitable for vox pops, b-roll footage, and short documentary-style films. This is the option for indoor and outdoor filming where the location demands control over the lighting.
Cost: £550/day
The van load
Journalist plus director of photography/lighting camera operator. Two cameras plus full creative lighting set up and audio, including radio mics. Recording on to broadcast-format full HD cameras*.
Suitable for all interview scenarios, including Q&As and discussion programmes, panel or round table debates, high-end vox pops, video news releases and edited packages. Additional options: a third camera, sound engineer, live vision mixing, live streaming.
Cost: from £950/day, plus options.
Editing and other office-based work: £350/day
