Video podcast production in London
We Stream is a London video and photo production company that films and edits video podcasts at your office, a hotel or a hired studio. One operator runs 2 to 3 cameras with light and sound, and you get the full episode plus clips for LinkedIn, Reels and Shorts, priced per episode.
Setting up a recording. Two cinema cameras, softbox lighting and a seated set for a filmed interview, built by our crew on location.
Camera A, wide
Camera B, close
On the monitorWhat makes it look like a show
Two or three angles, one clean sound
A video podcast holds attention when the edit can cut between a wide shot and each speaker's face, and when the voices sound close and clear. So every recording gets 2 to 3 cameras, lighting built for the room, and microphones on each speaker.
The cameras run for the whole conversation, so the editor has a reaction shot for every answer, and the clips for social come out already framed.
How a recording day runs
From the first call to the last clip
The more episodes you record in one session, the less each one costs, because the cameras, lights and sound are set up once. Most shows plan the day around that.
- The format call
Who speaks, how many episodes, how long each runs and where they will be published. That decides the cameras and the edit.
- The room
A few photographs of the space in advance. We plan the angles and the light around windows, glass and echo before the day.
- Set and sound check
Cameras, lights and microphones go up once for the whole session. Each speaker gets a sound check before the first take.
- Recording
The operator watches framing and levels while you talk. Between episodes, only the guests change.
- The edit
Each episode is cut from all the angles, with an intro and outro if your show has them. Two rounds of revisions are included.
- Clips for social
Short clips and vertical cutdowns for LinkedIn, Reels, TikTok and Shorts, so one conversation becomes a month of posts.
Where we record
Your office, or a room we make work
Your office
A meeting room, a reception or a quiet corner. We bring the cameras, light and sound and leave the room as we found it.
No studio fee
A hotel or co-working space
A lounge or suite turned into a set for one day: our lights, our cameras, their furniture.
Room at cost, if there is a fee
A hired studio
For a built set or a sound-treated room. We book it, run it and film there.

Before the recording
How to prepare your guests
We send this to every host before the day. It makes the conversation easier to film and easier to edit.
- Share the topic and rough questions. Guests talk more freely when nothing comes as a surprise.
- Avoid tight patterns, thin stripes and shiny fabrics. They flicker on camera. Plain colours work best.
- Keep phones on silent and away from the microphones. Even a vibration can be heard.
- Sit back and talk to each other, not to the camera. The cameras find you; the conversation is what people watch.
Questions
About video podcasts
Anything else, email team@westream.uk and you will have an answer within 24 hours.
How much does video podcast production cost in London?
With We Stream, one filmed and edited episode from a two-hour session at your premises is £1,200. Four episodes filmed in one day are £800 each, and eight short episodes are £500 each. In a hired studio, add a £500 producer fee and the studio at cost. VAT will be added where applicable.
Can you film a podcast at our office?
Yes, most of our podcasts are filmed at the client's office, a hotel or a co-working space. We bring the cameras, lights and microphones, and a few photographs of the room in advance help us plan the angles and the sound.
How many cameras do you use?
Two to three, run by one operator: usually a wide shot of the table and a close shot of each speaker. That gives the editor a reaction shot for every answer and framing for vertical clips.
What do we get after the recording?
Each full episode, edited from all the angles, inside 7 working days, with two rounds of revisions. Clips and vertical cutdowns for social are £150 each, and an edit pack of one highlight, six clips and six verticals is £1,400.
Do you have a podcast studio?
We book a hired studio for you, charged at cost plus a £500 producer fee, or bring the full kit to your office, a hotel room or any space that works for the show.
Which podcasts have you worked on?
Vitalii Vakulchuk operated one of the cameras on Off The Agenda, the conversation podcast hosted by Sir Charles Bowman, former Lord Mayor of London. For Alea, one of our producers supervised a podcast recording on set, checking angles, lighting and framing against their brand guidelines.
Can you film only and hand over the raw files?
Yes. Filming only with one operator is from £250 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and your own editor gets all the angles and the separate sound.
How should guests prepare for a video podcast?
Share the topic and rough questions in advance, wear plain colours rather than tight patterns or shiny fabrics, keep phones on silent and away from the microphones, and talk to each other rather than to the camera.
