Batch the episodes

4 episodes in a day, your premises£840 per episode
8 short episodes in a day, your premises£500 per episode
Any of the above in a hired studio+£500 producer fee, studio at cost

Interviews, talk shows, podcasts filmed for YouTube and expert explainers are all sit-down formats. They're priced per episode: one operator, two to three cameras, with the episodes batched in one session.

The more episodes you film in one day, the less each one costs, because the setup happens once. Eight short episodes cost about a third of a single one.

If you don't have a space that works on camera, we can film in a hired studio. The studio is charged at cost, plus a £500 producer fee.

Blooming Haus, In Bloom. Violeta Sofia on her Hand Masters series.

In Bloom is Blooming Haus' original YouTube show spotlighting trailblazers across art, design and fashion. This episode features award-winning artist, photographer and activist Violeta Sofia.

She talks through her intimate Hand Masters self-portrait series, a body of work documenting her vitiligo and her journey towards self-acceptance. The episode was filmed near Covent Garden, at the hotel hosting her exhibition.

Andrei Movchan. Our half of a conversation filmed in two countries.

A long-form interview with economist Andrei Movchan in London, on whether the era of growth is ending. The interviewer was filmed by a production team in another country, and we coordinated with them remotely.

Our job was to match the visual tone and lighting of the interviewer's footage, so both sides of the conversation would cut together as one. Using reference stills from the client, we recreated the same atmosphere and balance on set in London.

Blooming Haus, In Bloom. Yasmin Naghdi of The Royal Ballet on flowers and the stage.

Another episode of the same series, with Yasmin Naghdi, Principal Ballet Dancer of The Royal Ballet. It explores ballet's long-standing flower culture: her most significant floral moments on stage, receiving bouquets, and the occasional flower faux pas.

The episode is structured for YouTube, with chapters from her ballet journey to creative projects, and closes on the series' recurring segment, Bloom or Prune, where she talks about what she's choosing to nurture and what she's ready to let go.
