FAQs About Video Production

February 23, 2023

Ever wondered...

How long  it takes to produce a video?


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 to include in a video brief?


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?
 

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.

We're thrilled to announce that we won not one, or two, but THREE Lens Awards at Communicate Magazine's prestigious awards event. We won awards for best One-off Video Campaign (Bronze) and Best Lifestyle and Wellbeing (Gold) for our work with Essity , a global hygiene and health leader that trusted us to transform essential H&S by producing a fresh and memorable induction video for visitors to their historic Oakenholt Mill. Delivering key messages with humour and heart, our approach stars children from real Essity employees as the mill’s pint-sized operators. It was a silver for Best Live or Experiential Video, celebrating our cinematic event work with PepsiCo . The Away from Home team’s breakout room at an international conference contained five ultrawide 4K screens stretching nearly 30 meters. Where we delivered 20 videos and nearly 70 assets overall, blending real footage, AI generated visuals, and synchronised side-screen magic. A panoramic feel that supported our client’s event in a whole new way. Thank you to our awesome team of in-house creatives. Photographed, a delegation from CH attended the event on behalf of the whole company.
