01 / KEEP IT FOCUSED
Quarter day.
A product. A property. An interview. A few clips for social. Just the filming time you need, with editing quoted separately.

MORE EXPENSIVE THAN YOUR MEDIA- STUDENT NEPHEW. WAY LESS HASSLE.
Promos, products, interviews, documentary and events. Planned, shot and edited by one filmmaker. The same one who answers the phone.

FIVE THINGS
I GET ASKED
FOR MOST.
WANT THE
LONGER VERSION?
Four jobs written up in full: what was asked for, what it took, and what came back.
03 / THE PRODUCTION TRIANGLE
Fast. Cheap. Good. Nobody gets all three.
PICK TWO.
I HAVE.
Every video job is the same trade-off. Tap the corner you’d give up, and see who you end up hiring.
Tap a corner to give it up
One filmmaker. Fewer overheads. That’s the whole trick.
YOU KEEP CHEAP + QUALITY
That’s me.
Good work at a fair price. I won’t promise it by Friday if Friday means cutting corners, but one person with no handovers still beats most crews for turnaround. Days, not weeks.
YOU KEEP FAST + QUALITY
Closer to Pinewood.
Fast and brilliant? No bother. That’s a producer, a director, a DP, a sound recordist, a runner, and a runner for the runner. Ten lads, ten day rates, and an invoice to match. Lovely work. Not what a two-hour shoot in your workshop needs.
YOU KEEP FAST + CHEAP
Your media-student nephew.
He’ll do it this weekend for a pint. You’ll get 4K footage, unusable audio, a shot list of whatever he felt like, and a file that turns up in March. More expensive than it looks.
04 / LESS FUSS. MORE FILM.
Priced to the job, not to a day rate.
SMALL JOB?
DON’T BOOK
A WHOLE DAY.
Most businesses need an hour or two of filming. Not eight.
So I price the job to fit. A property walkthrough, a product in action, an interview, a few clips for your channels. You deal with me from the first conversation to the final cut.
If a bigger job needs a second camera or someone on sound, I’ll bring the right people in.
How quarter days work02 / GO ALL IN
Full day.
Launches, events and longer promos. Shoot and edit for something bigger, with the whole production taken care of.
Talk about a bigger job03 / KEEP IT COMING
Retainer.
A set number of days a month, priority booking and a better rate. Quarter-day blocks suit estate agents and dealers with stock that keeps changing.
Talk about a retainerNear Wetherby or Boroughbridge? Mention it, there’s a local discount.
05 / WHO TURNS UP
ONE VAN.
ONE PERSON.
NO COMMITTEE.
No account manager, no runner, no bill for three people standing around. I plan it, light it, shoot it, record the sound and cut it.
That keeps the price sensible and the decisions quick. When a job really does need a second pair of hands, I bring in people I’ve worked with for years. You still only deal with me.

06 / THE LONGER VIEW
MORE TO
THE STORY.
01 A regular thing.
Need fresh video every month? A retainer gives you a set number of days, priority booking and a better rate. From a day a month upwards.
Blocks of quarter days work particularly well for estate agents and car dealers with stock that keeps changing.
More on retainers02 A deeper story.
Documentaries. Company histories. Stories that need room to breathe. The History of Roadrunner Records is exactly that sort of job: interviews, archive and a lot of patience.
Read that one03 A day you only get once.
Launches, gigs, awards nights, the opening of something you have spent two years building. One-off occasions where there is no second take and no rehearsal.
Filmed quietly and cut honestly. You get it back while people still care. Nobody gets asked to pose, and nobody gets asked to do it again.
