Corporate Video Production Corporate video production
A company film has to explain the business to someone who has never visited it. We plan, film and edit it for that viewer, and deliver it in the languages your markets need.
For companies that sell, recruit or tender across borders and need one film that works in more than one language.
A film that nobody watches to the end.
Most corporate videos fail before filming starts. The brief is "show everything we do", so the result is a slow tour with music, no viewer in mind and no next step. Buyers close it in the first ten seconds and the company is left with a film it is slightly embarrassed to send.
When you sell in several markets, the problem repeats in each language. A film shot with English interviews and added subtitles may be fine, or it may need a separate voice-over, a different opening and a shorter cut for each audience. We decide that in the plan, before the camera comes out, so the extra versions are scoped and not a surprise.

What you get
You get a script or interview plan, a filming plan, a finished film, and shorter cuts and subtitle files for the places it will actually be shown.
Concept & Script
A short concept and a script or interview outline written for the viewer who will actually watch it, with the shots it needs.
Planning & Locations
A shooting plan: dates, locations, people on camera, who needs to be told, and what the site expects from visitors.
Filming
The filming itself, with the crew assembled for the job and directed on the day so you are not left guessing what was captured.
Editing & Colour
The edit, graphics and colour work, with rough cuts you can comment on before anything is finished.
Voice-over & Sound
Voice-over, music and sound cleaned and mixed, in the languages the film needs.
Subtitles & Delivery Versions
Subtitles and the final cuts: the full film, shorter versions for social and sales, and the sizes each platform asks for.
A film in mind, or only the reason for one?
Tell us who has to watch it, where it will play and which languages it needs. We reply with questions and a scoped quote.
How it works
Step 1: Brief
Who the film is for, where it will be shown, what the viewer should do afterwards and which places and people are involved.
Step 2: Plan
The concept, script or question list, the shot list and the filming days, agreed with you and, where needed, with the site.
Step 3: Film and edit
Filming on the agreed days, then a rough cut, your comments, and a finished cut with graphics, sound and colour.
Step 4: Deliver
The final film, subtitle files, shorter cuts and the project files in your scope, handed over and organised.

Questions
How much does corporate video production cost?
It depends on the length, the number of filming days and locations, the size of the crew, whether there are interviews or actors, voice-over, the number of languages and versions, motion graphics, and the deadline. Send a short brief and we quote a fixed scope so you know what is included before you commit.
How long does a corporate video take?
Planning and filming take the first part, the edit and your comments the rest. The proposal gives dates. The usual delay is waiting for access to a location or for feedback, so tell us early who has to approve.
How many revisions are included?
The proposal states the rounds, normally on the rough cut and then on the finished cut. Changing the story after filming is a different job from fixing a cut, and we say so before you sign.
Who owns the film and the footage?
Ownership of the finished film and what you receive of the footage is written into the proposal. Ask every producer for that in writing, including whether raw footage is part of the hand-over.
Can one film be made in several languages?
Yes. Plan it that way from the start: leave room on screen for subtitles, record clean audio for voice-over, and keep text graphics editable. We list each language version in the scope.
Do you handle Arabic voice-over and subtitles?
Yes. Arabic and English are handled by people who work in those languages, and we ask you to confirm names, titles and technical terms before the film is final.
Who provides the cameras and crew?
The crew and equipment are assembled for each job, sized to what the film needs. The proposal says who does what, so you are not guessing on the day.
What about music?
We can use music you already have the right to use, or music we license for the job. How it is licensed is stated in the proposal, and for anything unusual you should check with your own lawyer.
Can you film at our premises or our client sites?
Usually yes. Access, safety rules and any permission are decided by the site owner, so tell us early and we will plan around what they ask for.
Can you make short cuts for social media as well?
Yes. Shorter and vertical versions are planned during the shoot, not cut as an afterthought. The list of versions is in the proposal.
Tell us about the film you need.
A short brief is enough to start: the business, the audience, the locations and the languages. We reply with questions and a fixed-scope quote.
