Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and other digital giants already embrace the power of video.
Lots of brands and companies are thriving online because they understand the importance of video, but as the digital environment is filled with more content, consumer expectations increase and competition gets tougher.
It’s crucial to have professional video content that keeps people watching.
So, say goodbye to wobbly smartphone footage, off script ideas and boring visuals that your colleagues are really pleased with but you think looks awful. It’s a no brainer, partner with a production company like us for video content you can actually use!
We’re creative
We’ve got over 12 years of experience creating videos for big names like PepsiCo, Walkers, Evian, Doritos and King’s College London.
We use our creativity every day; working up visual treatments and writing interesting scripts, but we’re also creative when it comes to working with tight budgets and deadlines. After all, not everyone has the budget for a Hollywood production and that’s ok.
We understand the importance of branding
Before we kick off any video project, we make sure we know you and your business as much as possible. We ensure that the videos we create stay true to your identity and respect your brand guidelines.
We’re objective-driven
We’re focused on achieving the goals for each video project and we always spend time understanding your objectives before we start storyboarding. We also suggest different ways of doing things if we think there’s a better way.
We BELIEVE in video
Video is our passion. We are fascinated by video and always researching new styles, new technologies and creative ways of pushing the boundaries of video production.
Finally, we’re here to help you make the most of creative video and share your stories with the world. Drop us a line at hello@ch-video.com to speak to one of our Producers.

Fast turnaround videos. What we do and what our clients do to make it work. Our Managing Director, Emily Blanden, shares what we’ve learned from creating fast-turnaround videos for our clients - without the panic stations. From getting the brief nailed down early to keeping feedback clear and speedy, Emily talks through the little things that make a big difference when deadlines are tight. My team might not thank me for writing this. We’ve just completed two motion graphics projects on extremely tight turnarounds. A three minute video briefed in and delivered within six working days. A five minute video done in four. Sharing how we did this might result in us getting even more last minute briefs, sorry in advance to my team! Short lead time work is stressful. We’d always love more time. But over the years we’ve developed a process that makes it possible to create quality work, fast and I think it’s worth sharing, because a lot of it comes down to what both sides of the relationship do along the way.

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.
