Social media video production London: how we work
Cases
Influencer content, scripted ads, founder stories, show highlights and product series, all cut vertically for Instagram and TikTok. Tap a film to play it.
YSL Beauty × Lucy Davies
Lucy gets ready in her hotel room: she lights a YSL candle, does her make-up with YSL bronzer and lipstick, and finishes with a spray of Libre Santal Couture.
Heineken × Margot Lee
A phone case that flips over when someone says "cheers". Filmed with Margot Lee in one morning and edited the same night, with no subtitles so it read in her own voice.
NOA
Founder Lily walks through London talking about the company's growth and its community. Energetic transitions and her own voiceover, built for how Instagram is watched: in motion, with or without sound.
Fury Energy × Chelsea FC
A group of influencers through the press room, the trophy cabinet and the players' dressing room, with Fury Energy worked into every stop and cut to the rhythm of the tour.
John Richmond × Mira Developments
The runway, the backstage moments and the mood of the night, cut vertically for Instagram and TikTok. Our photographer covered the show in stills alongside, so both share one visual style.
Sunday Riley
Multiple models and a range of skincare products. Each video stands alone, one formula or one routine, while the series reads as one piece across the brand's channels.
What these cost to make: social media video prices.
Social video
Eight kinds of social content, each with its own way of shooting. Every example below is a real project.
For YSL Beauty, we filmed influencer Lucy Davies getting ready in her hotel room for an evening Get Ready With Me featuring Libre Santal Couture: a one-person crew, a two-hour session from 9 to 11pm, and the final edit delivered in two days. For Fury Energy × Chelsea FC, we followed a group of influencers through Stamford Bridge's press room, trophy cabinet and dressing room.
We've also filmed a branded Get Ready With Me for Lancôme, shot in soft light and delivered the same day for social and press, and a getting-ready film with Hoyeon Jung ahead of the BAFTA Awards that blended cinematic beauty shots with an intimate tone.
An activation needs footage that shows the scale and energy of the moment without looking like a corporate production. For Heineken, we filmed influencer Margot Lee with a phone case that flips over when someone says "cheers": a playful, scripted brief that needed a lively social setting and a natural feel. It was filmed in one morning, edited the same night, and co-posted by Heineken.
NOA needed a brand story for Instagram. We filmed founder Lily walking through London, talking about her company's growth and its community, with energetic transitions, dynamic pacing and her own voiceover. It was built for how Instagram is watched: in motion, with or without sound, with the viewer deciding in the first two seconds whether to keep watching.
We produced twelve branded videos for Sunday Riley over three days, with multiple models and a range of skincare products. Each video focused on one formula or routine, with clean visuals, soft light and minimal design to match the brand. The result was a coherent content pack for social and e-commerce, not twelve separate commissions.
We filmed Priyanka Chopra's launch of her Max Factor collection in London, from the preparations behind the scenes to the unveiling on stage, and delivered it on a tight turnaround. For the Rebecca Vallance × Nicky Hilton launch at Harrods, attended by Princess Beatrice, we delivered footage fast enough for post-event promotion and press. At John Richmond's London fashion show, filming wrapped at 11pm and the edit was with the client by 5am.
For Rouje, we filmed the brand's posters across London alongside a model wearing the dress from the ad. The concept played with reflection and repetition: the model walking past her own campaign and blending into it. Shot in a cinematic tone for social, it promoted the dress while keeping Rouje's Parisian look.
At Natalia Tomash's large seaside workshop, we filmed the teaching moments, the creative exercises and the way the group worked together. The setting was part of the story. Good behind-the-scenes content makes people wish they'd been there.
For The Pelican Group, we filmed a social video entirely on iPhone, as their creative direction asked. The goal was authentic and spontaneous, not polished. Knowing when production quality serves the content, and when it works against it, is part of the job.
Platform format and optimisation
Social media videographer London: turnaround times

A single activation filmed and delivered the same day is a different job to a three-day product series. Each is priced on the work: a single Reel starts at £1,100, and a same-day activation at £1,500.
One edited vertical video up to 60 seconds, captions, two rounds of revisions.
2 to 3 edited Reels, a concept call before the shoot, captions, two rounds of revisions.
4 to 6 edited videos, colour grade, multiple locations, per-platform versions in 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9.
10 to 12 videos across 2 to 3 shoot days in one visual language, like our twelve-video Sunday Riley series.
Multi-video days cost less per video than single commissions. Talent, studio and styling are passed through at cost. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
All packages and add-ons →Questions
A single Reel starts at £1,100, a half day producing two to three Reels at £1,800, and a full production day with four to six videos at £3,500. A product or campaign series of 10 to 12 videos over two to three shoot days runs £7,000 to £8,500. Same-day delivery adds £400 to £1,500+, so a single activation filmed and delivered the same day starts at £1,500. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
A single Reel or a half day turns around in 3 working days, a full production day in 5, and a series of 10 to 12 videos in 7 to 10. That is faster than our 7-day standard for event video, because social edits are short and the formats are agreed before the shoot. We've never missed a turnaround we've committed to.
Yes. Same-day delivery is an add-on, from £400 to £1,500+ depending on how much footage there is and how finished the edit needs to be, and it has to be planned before the shoot. It suits activations and launches where the moment is the content: we delivered same-day for AMI Paris's London store launch, Amina Muaddi's wild posting campaign and Nas Daily's London feature, and Heineken's video with Margot Lee went from an 11am call time to a finished cut at 1:34am.
A half day usually produces two to three Reels, and a full production day four to six finished videos, each with versions for the platforms you post on. Larger sets are planned across several days: for Sunday Riley we filmed twelve videos over three days, with one lighting plan and one grade so the series reads as one piece. Multi-video days cost less per video than single commissions.
Yes. We deliver 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square and 16:9 horizontal from the same shoot. If you know upfront which formats you need, we frame for them while filming rather than cropping horizontal footage into portrait afterwards.
Yes. Captions are included in our social packages and built into the edit in your house style. We can also deliver clean versions without captions if your team adds its own. Some pieces work better without them: the Heineken video had no subtitles, so it read in Margot Lee's own voice.
Yes. We filmed influencer Lucy Davies's evening Get Ready With Me for YSL Beauty with a one-person crew in two hours, Margot Lee's scripted ad for Heineken, and a group of influencers touring Stamford Bridge for Fury Energy and Chelsea FC. We know how to work around talent availability, brief changes on set and the requirements of influencer content deals.
Yes. Send us reference content before we discuss the brief. We've matched lighting, visual tone and pacing for clients whose content had to sit alongside existing material, including footage produced by a separate crew on another continent.
Yes. One shoot day and six edited videos a month is £3,000, and two shoot days and twelve edited videos is £5,500. Retainers have a three-month minimum, are invoiced monthly, and unused days don't roll over. The same crew comes back each time, so nobody needs briefing from scratch.
A producer on every project, two rounds of revisions, £5 million public liability insurance held separately by each of our lead operators, and footage backed up before anyone leaves the shoot. Talent, studio hire, styling and music licences are passed through at cost and agreed before booking.
Message us on WhatsApp or call. We carry social-ready kit and can often mobilise quickly for shoots in London. We can't always guarantee availability, but we'll tell you straight away rather than leave you waiting for an answer.
YSL Beauty, Heineken, Tommy Hilfiger, Lancôme, Sunday Riley, AMI Paris, Rouje, Amina Muaddi, NOA, John Richmond, Fury Energy with Chelsea FC, and Nas Daily, among others. Projects include influencer content, scripted social ads, product series, street campaigns, fashion shows and launch coverage.
