CB MEDIAINDEPENDENT VIDEO PRODUCTION
Home/About
Casus Belli Media trades as CB Media. It’s one filmmaker, based in Yorkshire, filming across the UK and sometimes beyond.
HOW IT WORKS
Most production companies sell you a team. Right answer for a telly advert. Daft answer for two hours in a workshop.
I plan it, light it, shoot it, record the sound and cut it. One person. Fewer overheads, quicker decisions, and nobody on the invoice who spent the day holding a coffee.
When a job actually needs a second camera or a dedicated sound recordist, I bring in people I have worked with for years. You still only ever deal with me.
HOW A JOB ACTUALLY RUNS
Three steps. No surprises in the middle.
Free, and the most useful twenty minutes of the job. What’s the film for, who’s meant to watch it, and what should they do afterwards?
Then a written plan you sign off before anyone turns up: what gets filmed, in what order, and how long it takes. Twenty minutes on the phone saves a fortnight of guessing.
I arrive early and work quietly. Mostly I stay out of the way of your business. Nobody has to perform, and nobody has to entertain a crew.
A first cut for you to pull apart, with a handful of revisions included in the quote, then final files in whatever shapes you need them. Delivered as a link that doesn’t expire.
THE KIT
Nobody has ever hired a filmmaker because of a sensor size. It’s here because people ask, and because it explains why the low-light work in the reel holds up.
Then you probably have a job in mind. Describe it badly. That’s fine.
