FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• Corporate Video Production - How much does it cost?

  If you're wondering how much it will cost to produce a video, we can certainly give you some indication on prices:

  Our prices for a 1 minute online video for starts at £399.99 for London based businesses*. Included within this charge is visiting your premises for half a day, capturing the necessary footage and then editing and post production.  If you are new to the world of online video and have never had a video produced for your company professionally, this option may be suitable for you to get started.
  
  In over 70% of the cases, we have had feedback from clients that the video pays for itself in approx. 8 weeks and very often clients choose to reinvest some of the return into a series of further videos which is something you can consider.

  For more complex productions where a few days of an on-site video shoot or animation/Special Effects are required, the costs increase accordingly.

  *If you are based outside of London, prices increase to cover travel expenses.

• How long does the video production process take?

  This almost entirely depends on the nature and complexity of your project.  As a guide, corporate showreels which is the most popular type of video we create, from the day we begin the shoot until we can show you the first draft of the edited video, it can take up to a week.

  Creation of online ads or Explainer Videos where a presenter is required, it usually takes longer.

  We also offer an express service where we are able to reduce the turnaround times by up to 30%. 

   

• What is the process once I have commissioned my video project?

  Once we have understood the brief of the project and the video's goals and objectives, we would liaise a date and time with you for us to visit and carry out the on-site shoot. At the very least, this takes about half a day and usually longer, depending on the project specifications.

  Once the footage has been captured,  we would begin the editing process which can take anywhere from 4 days up to 2 weeks, again specification dependant.

  Once this is done, the feedback phase begins, wherein we present the first draft of the video to you and based on your feedback, we make requested changes. Whilst each revision cycle takes approx. 2 working days at our end, the actual duration of the feedback phase very much depends on how quickly we receive feedback from you.

  Once you are happy with the end results, we then carry out the necessary post-production and video formatting to upload to the necessary online channels.

  A copy of the video(s) can also be provided in DVD or Blu Ray format, upon request.

• We want to include some existing footage we have on our Corporate Showreel. Is this possible?

  Absolutely.  If you already have some material you would like included such as a news feature or clips form a tradeshow, you can simply send it to us and we'll find the right/time place within the video to include it.

  Don't worry too much if you feel that the quality of your existing material isn't good enough. In most cases, we are able to improve the resolution and include it in such a way within our production that the differences are very hard to see

   

• Can you accompany me to a tradeshow to capture footage we would like included?

  This is actually quite a common requirement and very often we visit tradeshows and conferences for a video shoot which is later edited into a showreel. If your company has participated in the event in a major way, such as sponsorship, you may wish to consider a showreel just of the event to highlight your contribution and impact.

   

• What is a Welcome Video and what are the costs?

  A Welcome Video is placed on the main entry page (usually the home page) of a website for a variety of purposes such as informing them of what they can expect to find within your website, how your website works or to explain any unique features and benefits of your product/service, to name a few.

  At VAP, Welcome Videos and Corporate Showreels are the most popular type of projects we carry out on daily basis.

  Prices for a Welcome Video starts from £399.99.
