Quick fit check
The fit table
Eight questions decide most enquiries. If your project lands in the right-hand column, you will get a better result for less money elsewhere, and we would rather say so now.
Bookings from £500 for two hours of filming, £900 for a filmed half day and £1,400 for a half day filmed and edited. Every price is on our prices page.

Where we are strong
No second take. At the Boryviter unveiling in Trafalgar Square the brief came on a Sunday night for a Monday event, and press photos went out within 20 minutes.
Read the caseSeveral stands at once with one crew and same-day photos, as at SBC Summit Lisbon.
Three stands, one crewLit interviews for executives and experts, such as the governance series we filmed for Cytec.
Interview pricesEvery session in full and a highlight film inside seven working days, for Newsweek, Fast Growth Icons and Connected Britain.
Conference videographyA London story for Park Lane. The event was in a small grey room at the Mandarin Oriental, so we pitched a story instead of coverage, wrote it with the client and shot the London part.
Terms that decide the fit
Most mismatches come from terms, not from the work. These are the ones people ask about, taken from our rate card.
The balance is due on delivery, payable within 14 days.
More than 28 days before the shoot, the deposit is kept and nothing more. From 7 to 28 days, 75% of the fee. Under 7 days, the full fee.
The rate card is fixed. If the budget is tight, we change what gets filmed and delivered.
Edited video inside 7 working days, photos inside 5, product and beauty retouch inside 14. Faster delivery is planned before the shoot.
Questions
Not sure where your project lands? Email team@westream.uk and we will tell you honestly, usually the same day.
Businesses, brands and organisations that need events, conferences, trade shows, brand films, interviews or fashion content filmed and photographed in London, the UK or Europe, with a budget from £500 and a clear brief or the time to shape one.
Two hours of filming at £250 an hour, so £500, without an edit. A half day of filming is £900, and a half day filmed and edited with a highlight film is £1,400. VAT will be added where applicable.
No. We do not film weddings, birthdays, christenings or personal shoots. A wedding or family event specialist will do that better, because their whole business is built around it.
No, we do not take music video commissions. We film live music at events and concerts for brands and organisers, but a music video is better made by a director who specialises in them.
For events, as soon as the date is confirmed, because trade show and conference weeks fill early. Fashion, beauty and product work needs at least 14 days from confirmed brief to shoot. Under 14 days adds 25% to the production fee, and under 7 days adds 50%, subject to crew availability.
We quote on clear briefs and are happy to be compared with other suppliers. We do not develop unpaid creative concepts for pitch rounds with several agencies. Paid pre-production, quoted with the brief, is the way to shape a concept with us.
The rate card is fixed, so the same job costs every client the same. If the budget is tight, we change the scope: fewer hours, one operator instead of two, or fewer finished edits.
Yes, for one-off events across the UK and Europe. Travel is calculated by us and included in your quote, so there is nothing to add later. For monthly filming in another city, a local crew is usually the better choice.
