Frequently Asked Questions

Video production cost depends on the brief, filming days, crew, locations, post-production, review stages and delivery versions. Airframe Media provides an itemised quote that records the agreed scope before work begins. Request the current rate card on our pricing page, or send us your brief for a project quote.

The quote identifies costs that sit outside the core filming or post-production scope. These may include travel, accommodation, location access, specialist equipment, additional crew, music or other third-party licences. Each applicable item is discussed and recorded before work begins.

Payment terms are set out in the proposal for the specific project. If a production needs staged payments or an ongoing arrangement, discuss that with us before approving the quote so the agreed schedule can be recorded in writing.

A full-service project can cover pre-production, filming and post-production. The quote defines the brief, schedule, locations, crew, shot plan, review stages, deliverables, formats and delivery date included for that commission. Use our pricing page to request the current rate card and review the factors that shape a project quote.

Tell us the required delivery date at the brief stage. We will review the filming plan, edit scope, approval stages and delivery versions, then confirm what is achievable in the quote. A deadline is not treated as agreed until it is recorded in the production schedule.

Send the brief through our contact form, email us or use WhatsApp. Include the audience, intended use, filming location, preferred dates and required deliverables where possible. We aim to acknowledge new enquiries within one business day, then confirm what else is needed to prepare an itemised quote.

Yes. We offer free initial consultations to discuss your vision and see if we're a good fit for your project. No obligation.

The schedule depends on the number of locations, filming days, contributors, approval stages and deliverables. We agree the production schedule and delivery date in the quote before work begins. If a project is tied to an event or campaign date, tell us at the brief stage so the plan can be built around it.

We begin by agreeing the brief, audience, schedule and deliverables. We then plan the crew, locations and shot list before filming. Post-production covers the edit, colour, sound and the versions listed in the quote, with review stages agreed before work begins. See our full production process for details.

Lead time depends on crew availability, locations, contributors and the amount of planning required. Contact us as soon as the campaign or event date is known. We will confirm what is achievable and set the schedule out in the quote.

The quote states the included review stages and how feedback should be supplied. Changes within the agreed brief follow that review plan. New sequences, replacement footage or a changed brief are scoped separately before work continues.

On-set monitoring can be included where the crew, equipment and location allow it. Tell us who needs to review the image during filming so the monitoring arrangement can be confirmed in the quote.

A production company can coordinate multiple production stages and contributors under one scoped quote. A freelance brief may focus on a specific role or stage. Compare the proposed crew, responsibilities, review stages, deliverables and handoff rather than assuming one model includes the same work as another.

We produce corporate films, branded content, documentaries, event coverage, testimonial and case-study films, product video, social content and aerial sequences. Airframe also offers standalone cinematography, editing, colour, sound and post-production services where those disciplines are included in the quote.

Scriptwriting and storyboarding can be included where the brief requires them. The quote confirms the pre-production stages, contributors, review points and approvals included before filming.

We prepare the formats and versions agreed for the intended channels. Common outputs include MP4 for web and social use, ProRes for production handoff, vertical or square social versions, and separate audio stems where required. The delivery list and any source-footage handoff are confirmed in the quote.

We can review footage captured by a client or another crew before confirming the edit scope. The assessment covers the supplied files, usage rights, source quality, intended story, review stages and required delivery versions, which are then recorded in the quote.

Music licensing or custom composition can be scoped when the brief requires it. The quote confirms the proposed music route, licensing requirements, contributors, deliverables and cost before work begins.

The camera, lens, lighting and grip package is selected for the brief, budget, locations, crew and delivery requirements. The quote records the included equipment and any hire requirements before filming is confirmed.

Yes. Share your visual references during consultation and we'll analyse the lighting, colour, and camera techniques used. We can create custom LUTs and develop a shooting plan to achieve that specific aesthetic.

Colour correction is the technical process of balancing exposure, contrast, and colour to make shots look natural and consistent. Colour grading is the creative process of developing a specific look or mood. We do both as part of our colour services.

VFX scope depends on the source material, shot design and intended delivery. We review the references and footage before confirming which cleanup, compositing or motion work can be included and whether specialist support is required.

If a project requires HDR delivery, send us the destination specification before production begins. We will confirm whether the required workflow, monitoring and delivery files can be included in the quote.

Audio requirements depend on the destination specification. We review the required channel layout, loudness, file formats, stems and quality-control handoff, then record the included deliverables in the quote.

Ask the supplier to identify the operator documents, location permissions, airspace coordination, insurance and safety controls relevant to the proposed flight. Airframe reviews those requirements for the exact location and intended shots before the filming date is confirmed.

Airframe Media provides its current drone filming rates on request. Location access, travel, additional crew, permissions work and post-production are scoped separately where required. Request the rate card on our pricing page, or send the location and intended shots for an itemised project quote.

Feasibility depends on the exact location, surrounding environment, intended flight and filming date. Send the address and shot requirements before treating an aerial sequence as confirmed. We will explain the practical requirements and lead time for that location.

We cover London and all of South East England: Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hertfordshire. We also travel nationwide for larger aerial videography projects.

Capture and delivery settings are selected for the brief, aircraft, location and intended use. We confirm the required resolution, frame rate and file format in the quote rather than promising one specification for every shoot.

We film at client premises and other locations where the production requirements can be agreed. The quote identifies the location logistics, risk assessment, permissions, transport and crew responsibilities included for the project.

Yes. We're a London-based video production company and regularly film across Greater London, the South East, and nationwide. We have filmed at major venues including ExCeL London, Taylor Wimpey sites, Tower Bridge, and corporate offices across the City and Canary Wharf. Travel costs for locations outside London are quoted transparently upfront.

Weather planning depends on the location, equipment and shots required. For aerial work, the operator confirms whether conditions are safe and lawful for the planned flight. The quote records the agreed weather contingency and what happens if filming cannot proceed.
