Production & Animation

Dynamic content that engages, informs, and inspires action

We produce video, photography, and animation that does more than look good. Our in-house production team delivers creative assets engineered to engage your audience and move them towards the action you want them to take.

Our production services

From a single product shoot through to a fully animated brand film, our production services cover every visual asset your business needs to engage, inform, and convert.

Visuals crafted with strategy in mind

Video, photography, and animation can make a huge impact when they are built around real commercial goals - whether that is generating leads, supporting a wider awareness campaign, or standardising internal training across a large organisation. Treated as an afterthought, however, even the most beautifully produced content can fail to drive the results that matter.

This is why our production team sits alongside our marketing strategists from the earliest concept stage, rather than being briefed after the strategy is already set. Every shoot, script, and edit decision is made with your audience, platform, and intended outcome in mind, so the finished asset is built to perform from day one.

Our production process

01

Discovery

Every project starts with a conversation about your brand, your audience, and the commercial goal the finished content needs to support, whether that is a single social advert or an ongoing library of videos. We review any existing brand guidelines, prior creative, and campaign context, so the direction we take is grounded in your real objectives from the outset.

02

Concept & Planning

Our production team develops a clear concept and shot plan before any filming begins. We also support with script writing and pre-production planning for locations, props, and any specific technical or compliance considerations. This groundwork means shoot days run efficiently and deliver the footage we actually need, rather than requiring costly reshoots.

03

Production

We manage every aspect of the shoot or animation build in-house, from casting and filming through to voiceovers and rendering, keeping you updated at key stages so you always know how the project is progressing. Where a project spans multiple locations or a longer animation build, we structure the work in phases to keep timelines realistic without compromising the finished quality.

04

Post-Production & Delivery

Our editors work to bring every element together, incorporating feedback until the finished asset is ready to go live. We deliver production-ready files in every format your channels need, from broadcast-quality video through to platform-specific cuts for paid social, ensuring what you receive is ready to use immediately.

A style for every brand and every brief

Every brand needs something different from its visual content. Whether you need something polished and corporate, bold and story-led, or animated entirely from scratch, our team adapts to the style your audience responds to best.

01

Corporate video and photography

Clean, professional video and photography suited to B2B audiences, investor communications, and internal or training content. We focus on clarity, credibility, and consistency, ensuring your business is represented with the same professionalism your audience already expects from you.

This style works particularly well for brands operating in high trust industries, where content needs to feel authoritative and considered rather than experimental.

 

02

Creative and brand films

Bold, story-led visual content designed to build a real emotional connection with your audience, whether that is a brand film, a social campaign, or a hero piece for a new launch. We combine strong visual direction with the strategic messaging behind it, so the story we tell still works towards a clear commercial outcome.

This is often a strong approach when a brand is launching new products, repositioning itself, or needs to stand out in a crowded or highly competitive market.

 

03

Drone footage

Aerial photography and video that adds the scale and context ground-level content cannot - particularly well-suited to construction, property, events, and large sites. We manage every aspect of licensed, compliant drone filming as part of a wider shoot, so there is no need to coordinate a separate supplier.

This style is especially effective when demonstrating scale, progress, or location is central to the message you are trying to land.

 

04

2D animation

Illustrated animation used to explain complex products or services simply, or to bring brand personality to life in a way live footage cannot always achieve. Our graphic designers and animators work together throughout, so every animated asset stays true to your existing brand guidelines.

This is a strong option for technical, service-based, or B2B offerings that are difficult to visualise through filming alone.

 

05

3D animation

Rendered 3D animation suited to product visualisation, technical demonstrations, and architectural or spatial content, giving audiences a level of detail and realism that would be difficult or costly to capture on camera.

This approach is particularly valuable for products, processes, or environments that do not exist in a finished or photographable form.

 

06

Combined and mixed media 

Many of our most effective projects blend live footage with animation and motion graphics, using each medium where it works hardest, such as live footage for authenticity alongside animated data or captions for clarity.

This hybrid approach is often the strongest option when a single style cannot fully carry the message on its own.

 

07

Interviews and reactive content

Interview-style filming with your own people - whether that is leadership insight, staff testimonials, or subject matter expertise that builds trust with your audience. We can also deliver reactive consumer content such as live taste tests, first impressions, and in-the-moment reactions – captured on the street or at events - that feel authentic rather than scripted.

This style works well when the most persuasive asset you have is a genuine reaction or a credible voice from within your organisation, rather than a fully produced narrative.

 

08

Tours and walkthroughs

Immersive 360 office tours and warehouse or factory walkthroughs that let your audience explore a space in their own time, whether that is for recruitment, investor confidence, or demonstrating scale and capability to a prospective client.

This style is particularly effective when the size, process, or environment of your operation is a genuine selling point that photography or standard video cannot fully capture.

Working with Nick was really great, he listened to what we wanted to achieve and then, using his knowledge and skills, captured the images and commentary needed. As we worked through the project, Nick patiently amended footage and added in details to ensure that the final film not only met our expectations but exceeded them.

Where your finished content goes to work

A great video or photograph is only the starting point. What happens next - where it is placed, who sees it, and what it sits alongside - often determines whether it earns its budget back. Our wider teams are set up to take your finished production straight into the channels where it will work hardest.

Your digital growth partner

01

Paid Advertising

Video and photography built with paid performance in mind from the outset, then placed into campaigns managed by the same agency that shot it.

02

Digital PR

Standout video and imagery packaged and pitched to press and industry publications, extending reach well beyond your owned channels.

03

Social Media Marketing

A content calendar and community strategy built to make the most of every asset produced, rather than simply sharing your content once and leaving it at that.

04

Web Design & Development

Video and photography embedded properly into a site - built to load fast and convert, rather than being bolted on and left to slow the page down.

05

Branding

Putting video, photography, and animation to use, not only as pieces of content, but as true brand assets which show what you are all about.

06

Graphic Design

Stills pulled from your finished video, or photography styled to match, repurposed into print, packaging, and campaign assets.

Production and animation questions, answered

Content produced without a clear audience, platform, and goal in mind rarely performs, however well it is shot or animated. By involving our marketing strategists from the outset, we ensure every asset is built to drive a specific outcome, not simply to look impressive in isolation.

The right level of investment depends on the scale and purpose of the content, from a single social advert through to an ongoing library of brand and training videos. We strive to deliver quality, planning, and long-term value in every production project, and we recommend starting with a conversation about your objectives so we can scope something that reflects your real commercial priorities rather than providing a pre-packaged quote.

Timelines depend on the scale of the shoot or animation build and how many stakeholders are involved in sign-off. We do not sacrifice quality to meet unrealistic timelines, though our structured process means most projects move efficiently without unnecessary delay.

Both. Our production team regularly films on location, including outdoor and drone shoots, as well as in controlled studio environments and hired spaces, depending on what the brief and brand require.

Yes. Alongside one-off campaign content, we support clients with ongoing production, including large-scale video libraries, regular shoot days to fuel marketing content, and content capturing at scheduled events throughout the year.

Ownership and usage rights are agreed as part of scoping every project, so there is clarity from the outset about how the finished assets can be used, for how long, and across which channels. In most cases, you will have ownership of the content we produce for you, however we may request permissions to share and use select pieces of footage in our own marketing.

Yes, we own all of our own equipment and typically have everything required for the shoots we work on – including cameras and lenses, lighting and rigging systems, microphones, greenscreens, teleprompters, and our own licensed drone. You shouldn’t expect any additional fees for equipment rental unless your shoot requires something very niche which is not yet in our arsenal.
