We provided a crew to record interviews for game developers Rare as part of a behind the scenes video on remaking the Battletoads game.

We recorded a total of eight interviews in line with Covid-19 restrictions at the time. We also replicated the shooting style the client had used in other sections to keep the film consistent. The footage was delivered for the client to edit as requested.

Let's demystify the process of video production. We estimate this example to cost around £3-4k because we logged roughly:

Almost no production management which is low as we just covered an activity that was organised by our client. As a ballpark we estimate 1/2 day management per day of shoot and edit. This could be higher for complex projects or lower if you can help with the creative or coordination. This includes scheduling, edit supervision and producing documentation such as risk assessments.

2 day shoot which means there must have been things that could not all be fit into fewer days. Filming is priced at a day rate for crew and equipment so we always aim to film as much as we can on a single day. This is not always possible due to location/participant availability.

2 cameras used as one camera is often sufficient but we would suggest additional when there's multiple processes/people that need to be filmed at the same time or if we need to capture multiple angles of the same thing that we can't simply repeat.

We recorded audio as adding a Producer to the shoot to coordinate interviews, vox pops and other audio is a very cost effective way of adding a clear narrative to your films and we are experts at getting relaxed and natural performances.

Naturalistic filming style as this is the most cost effective approach. Tripod / handheld shots like this are effective but where the budget allows the inclusion of an additional crew member with cinematic kit (eg a slider / crane / drone) can really elevate the production value.

We did not edit this film and footage was delivered to our client after the shoot.
