A Complete Guide for Businesses
Creating a corporate video in London is one of the most effective communication tools for businesses in London, whether you’re promoting your brand, showcasing a service, recording interviews, or creating social media content. But one of the first questions we’re always asked is:
How much does a corporate video cost?
Prices can vary widely depending on several key factors. In this guide we explain what influences cost and provide a realistic ballpark so you can budget with confidence.
What Affects the Cost of a Corporate Video?
There is no single standard fee for “a corporate video” because each project has unique requirements. The main factors that influence price include:
1. Length of the Video
The final run time matters because:
Longer videos usually require more filming time
They may need more interviews or scripted segments
There is more footage to edit and refine
A 60-second social clip costs far less than a 5-minute brand film.
2. Complexity and Creative Scope
Some projects are simple and clean, others are complex and cinematic.
Consider:
Script writing and concept development
Number of locations (one office vs multiple sites in London)
Voiceover, music licensing, animation
On-screen talent or presenters
Number of interviewees
All of these add time and expertise to the shoot and edit.
3. Crew and Equipment
The size of your crew and gear setup impacts cost.
Typical options:
• Single videographer + basic kitA skilled videographer with camera, onboard audio, simple lighting. Ideal for interviews and straightforward corporate stories.
• Two-person crewVideographer plus sound operator. Useful if there are multiple interviewees or when sound quality needs to be tight.
• Larger crew with assistant(s)Used for more complex productions, event coverage, multi-camera interviews, product shoots, or if specialised gear (drones, sliders, gimbals, etc) is needed.
4. Location and Travel
Filming in central London may require:
Travel time
Parking
Permits in certain locationsThese can add small costs depending on where you are shooting.
5. Post-Production
Editing is where the magic happens, and the time spent here depends on:
Complexity of the edit
Motion graphics or titles
Colour grading
Music licensing
Revisions requested
A simple interview edit is quicker. A cinematic brand film with visual effects takes more time.
Typical Cost Range (London)
While every project is different, many corporate films in London fall into these general ranges.
Most often, corporate shoots can be handled by one experienced videographer with quality kit.
A realistic starting ballpark is:
👉 From around £650 per day for filming.
Larger campaigns or cinematic productions may be priced higher depending on scale, complexity and delivery format.
