Video Production in Mansfield
Most business videos are ninety seconds of drone shots and music before anyone says anything useful. The good ones answer a question in thirty seconds.
Video works hardest when it does something text cannot: showing a process, showing a person, or showing a result. It works worst as a glossy brand film that nobody watches past six seconds.
The most effective business videos we produce are unglamorous. A tradesperson explaining the three things that go wrong with a job. A walkthrough of premises. A customer saying what happened, in their own words.
We film it, edit it, subtitle it and give you versions cut for the website, for social and for advertising.
What you get
A point, decided before filming
What question does this video answer, and who is asking it? Video without that becomes an expensive showreel.
Filming on location
At your premises, on a job, wherever the real thing happens. With proper sound, which matters more than picture quality and is what most phone video gets wrong.
Edited tight
The useful bit starts within the first three seconds. No logo animation, no drone establishing shot, no thirty-second warm-up.
Subtitles as standard
Most social video is watched with the sound off. A video without subtitles is a video most people will not understand.
Multiple cuts from one shoot
A two-minute version for the website, thirty seconds for social, fifteen for ads, vertical crops for stories and reels.
Hosted properly
Embedded so it does not slow your site down, with the right schema so it can appear in search results.
Video that actually earns its cost
In rough order of return for a local business:
- A one-minute explainer per main service — answers the question and works as an ad
- Customer testimonials, filmed properly rather than on a phone in a car park
- Process walkthroughs, which remove the fear of the unknown before a big purchase
- Before and after, particularly for trades where the change is dramatic
- A short team introduction, which converts unusually well on service pages
When not to bother
If your website is slow, your Google Business Profile is empty and you have six reviews, a video is not your priority. Fix those first — they are cheaper and they will do more.
We would rather tell you that than sell you a film that sits on a page nobody reaches.
What affects the price
From £250 is a genuine starting point, not a teaser. Here is what moves it, so you can work out roughly where you would land before you ring us.
- Length and how many separate videos come out of the shoot
- Whether it needs scripting, or you know what you want to say
- Filming days and locations
- Whether animation, graphics or subtitles are included
Why local matters here
Video Production — the Mansfield picture
Being local makes video considerably cheaper, because half the cost of video is usually travel and setup time. We can film a short piece in a morning without it becoming a production.
It also means we can film seasonally or as things change, rather than committing to one big shoot that dates within a year.

Video Production — your questions
How much does a business video cost?
From £250 for a single short video filmed in a half day. £495 for a filming day producing several videos, which is much better value if you need more than one.
Do I need to be on camera?
It helps enormously — people buy from people — but no. We can film process, product and premises with a voiceover instead.
Will video slow my website down?
Not if it is embedded properly rather than uploaded directly to the site. We host it externally and embed it so it loads only when someone plays it.
What about YouTube?
Worth doing — it is the second largest search engine and the videos can rank in Google too. We set the channel up and optimise titles and descriptions if you want that.
