A series of testimonial films to show how easy an accounting app is to use. We produced individual films as well as a single film of containing all 3 testimonials.

To keep costs down we filmed everything at our clients location. This allowed us to film over only two days. A single day was a possibility but all of the interviewees could not be scheduled on the same day. Our client also provided us with screen captures of their system which meant we could show off features without costly animation.


We filmed a number of shots of our client's customers using the app which we were also able to use in the following voiceover and screen capture based walkthrough film.

Let's demystify the process of video production. We estimate this example to cost around £5-6k because we logged roughly:

2 days of 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.

Single camera 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.

4 days of post production time. Generally the length of post production depends on the volume of footage, number of deliverable versions (eg social cuts) and rounds of revisions budgeted. This was not consecutive days as we leave gaps for client feedback.

Voiceover used to convey clear information. VO is very effective but requires actor fees as well as scripting, recording and editing time. We only suggest professional VO if there's not a more cost effective way to convey information such as interviews, on screen text or a recording provided by your team.

No animation / graphic design was supplied by us. We can, as we did here, design simple titles or use stock animation as part of the edit process but where possible we suggest budgeting for original animation to elevate and brand any film.
