About

We’re CH video, an award-winning, talented and creative group of video producers, directors, editors, motion graphics designers; all-round production specialists who love what we do and care about the stories we tell. For 20 years, we’ve been working with international brands and businesses to produce everything from short-form internal videos to large scale campaigns for social and TV. 
 
From initial brief to final delivery, we cover all stages of video production. Including creative development, visual treatments, scripting, storyboarding, 4K filming, specialised equipment, editing, motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation. 
 
We’re different because we specialise in only producing video content, and we can do this at a much more reasonable cost compared to larger agencies. We believe videos should work hard so we think big and aim high to produce effective content that people want to watch, share and talk about.

Can we help you?

Have a question about our services? Check out the following frequently asked questions.

  • How much does a video cost?

    It’s variable and depends on your requirements and the scale of the idea, approach and production resource needed. But in general, the bigger the creative approach, the more production time and budget is required. The video duration and amount of video assets produced also plays a part.  

     

    Our clients continue to come back to us because we’re cost effective and can work a three thousand pounds to thirty-thousand-pound budgets. We can also reverse engineer our video approach and ideas based on your budget so you can see what’s possible.

  • How long does a video take to produce?

    For standard video briefs, we usually require a minimum of three weeks from initial brief, quoting, scripting, to production, amends and final delivery. Of course, this depends on what’s required and how much pre-production, production and post-production work is needed to bring the idea to life. But it’s safe to expect videos can’t be briefed and turned around within a few days!

  • What information do you need to be able to provide a quote?

    Is there such a thing as information overload? Not for video briefs! Share as many details with us as you can, and our quote will be more accurate. The good news is, we can share our CH Video Briefing Template to help but you can ask yourself: 


    What’s the purpose of the video? Who’s the audience? Do you have any references for video styles that you like, or do you need our ideas? Where is the video being shown? How long are you thinking? Do you need more than one video format? Do you need subtitles? What’s your final deadline? What’s your budget?

  • Do you offer any special rates or discounts?

    Yes. Lots of our rates are based on economies of scale and often our quotes include discounted rates depending on requirements. It really helps if we know your maximum budget before we quote so we can offer these reductions.   

  • Do you offer services other than live action videos?

    Of course! We cover all stages of video production. Including creative development, visual treatments, scripting, storyboarding, 4K filming, specialised equipment, editing, motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation. We also reversion videos for different languages, markets and social media platforms. We can also produce podcasts if that’s what you’re after.

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
