Documentary

For more structured documentary projects, we work with you from the initial concept to build your film’s assembly and hit all key points before shooting begins, so everyone is on the same page and thinks they are ‘making the same film’. For key interviews, we build question lists with the subject by working backwards from what we want to learn from them. We can then re-access these natural answers on camera during the interview, producing genuine unscripted explanations in plain English to make complex subjects accessible, and establish a true personal connection. As projects progress, we keep you updated with the rough edits so you can see your story take shape. 

By retaining footage rights from a significant majority of our previous projects, we have an extensive library of previously filmed material, along with subscription membership to several stock footage and audio libraries which can be used at no extra licensing cost. We can therefore add a great deal of extra value for money and are not always limited simply to what can be filmed on the day. 

Our team owns all the equipment necessary to complete a high-end, modern-looking film assignment, making us a true “one stop shop” for getting an exemplary film made on brief, on budget and on time. For 99% of projects, no additional kit hiring is required, and our equipment is insured for worldwide use. For small shoots, we keep numbers low with a crew of one or two – especially useful during a pandemic – and for more complex operations we would likely use a crew of up to four or five when necessary.
