Video Production for Financial Services London

A CEO or thought leadership piece — one spokesperson, one location, polished corporate grade — typically costs £2,000–£3,500 for a half-day production with a finished 3–5 minute cut and a short social version. A full corporate film covering investor relations, company overview, or annual report narrative runs £5,000–£10,000 depending on locations, talent, and edit complexity. An annual content retainer covering quarterly investor updates, internal communications, and compliance training across the year is scoped individually — typically £15,000–£25,000 annually for four to eight productions. All costs are agreed in a fixed quote before any work begins.

Yes, subject to the relevant permissions and security clearances being arranged by the client in advance. We are experienced in operating within restricted-access environments: we carry compact, unobtrusive kit, provide full crew details for security vetting, and follow all site protocols without exception. For trading floor filming, we understand the sensitivities around screen content and data — we brief our crew accordingly and can provide written confirmation of these protocols to your compliance or security team before the shoot date.

We accommodate client compliance review as a standard part of the post-production workflow. At rough cut stage, we provide a version specifically for your compliance and legal team to review prior to final edit — this is structured into the project timeline from the outset, not added as an afterthought. We do not release final files until written sign-off has been received from the approved reviewer. The number of compliance review rounds and the expected turnaround is agreed at briefing so it does not create timeline risk.

We are aware of the FCA's financial promotion requirements and the relevant standards under COBS 4 for fair, clear, and not misleading communications. We do not provide legal or compliance advice — your compliance team is responsible for the substance of any financial promotion. What we do provide is a production process that can accommodate required disclaimer text, mandated voice-over disclosures, and prescribed on-screen elements, integrated cleanly into the finished video without compromising production quality. We are used to working within tight copy constraints.

We operate under NDA as standard for financial services clients. A mutual NDA can be executed before any briefing documents, scripts, or materials are shared. All crew members are bound by the same confidentiality obligations. Raw footage, project files, and client materials are stored on encrypted drives and not shared beyond the production team. We do not use client footage for our own promotional purposes without explicit written permission — and for financial services clients, this permission is never assumed.

Yes. Results season creates predictable but non-negotiable deadlines and we plan around them explicitly. If you are producing an annual results video, half-year update, or earnings webcast support content, brief us six weeks in advance and we will hold the relevant crew and post-production capacity. Rush delivery within 48 hours of a shoot day is available for time-critical results releases — agreed upfront, at a premium rate. We do not take on results season work without confirming delivery capability at the briefing stage.

Yes. We produce master English-language versions with clean audio stems, then facilitate dubbing or on-screen subtitle packages for additional languages. We work with specialist translation and dubbing studios for accuracy in regulated financial content — this is not an area where machine translation is appropriate. Multi-language versions are scoped as a separate deliverable from the primary production and are quoted individually based on language count and content volume.

Yes. Canary Wharf and City of London office buildings typically require advance booking with the building management company and, in some cases, proof of insurance and crew accreditation. We are experienced in this process — we manage building logistics as part of pre-production rather than arriving and resolving them on the day. For landmark or high-profile addresses, we recommend confirming access four weeks in advance. We carry the required public liability and equipment insurance documentation as standard.
