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.
