Corporate video production pricing · London
Corporate video production costs in London.
Clear guidance before we talk.
Every project is different, but pricing should not feel mysterious. Here is what MHF projects typically cost, what changes the investment and what you can expect for your budget.
Project investment
Most full-service MHF projects start from
£7,500 + VAT
The final investment depends on the creative approach, production requirements and finished assets your project needs.
Filming + locations
Edit + animation
Deliverables + versions
Scoped around the brief. Not forced into a package.
Senior-led from first conversation to delivery
London-based · UK + international production
Typical project investment
What changes the cost of a video project?
Most full-service MHF projects start from £7,500 + VAT.
As the creative ambition, production scale and amount of finished content increase, so does the investment. These examples show typical levels of production rather than fixed packages.
Starting from
£7,500 +
+ VAT
Focused production
One story. One main contributor. One location.
A typical starting point for a customer story, case study, thought-leadership film or leadership interview filmed at your office or another existing location.
Typically includes
Pre-production + interview planning
One main contributor
One filming location
Senior-led production
Edit, colour, sound + captions
One core finished film
Often from
£12,000 +
+ VAT
More involved storytelling
More voices. More production. More ways to tell the story.
Investment increases when a project involves several contributors, multiple locations, studio hire, additional filming or a broader set of finished content.
Animation can change the scope too. When motion, product UI or animation helps make something clearer or more engaging, it adds creative development, design and specialist production time.
This might involve
Several contributors
Multiple locations
Studio hire
Additional filming time
Animation or product UI
Social edits + multiple outputs
Larger productions
£25,000 +
+ VAT
Larger creative production
When the idea needs more ambition behind it.
Larger brand films, launches and campaign work often need more ideation before production begins, alongside more sophisticated filming, creative treatments, animation or specialist craft.
At this level, you are not simply paying for more filming. More of the investment sits in the idea, creative development and the craft required to execute it.
This might involve
Creative concepts + treatments
Brand or campaign filmmaking
Larger crews + multiple shoot days
Casting or specialist locations
Complex animation + motion
Multiple campaign assets
The simple version
Four things usually move the investment.
01
People + places More contributors, locations, filming days or studio requirements.
02
Creative development How much ideation, scripting, story development or treatment work is required.
03
Animation + specialist craft Product UI, motion graphics, animation and more involved post-production.
04
How much you need Hero films, cutdowns, social versions, formats, languages and campaign assets.
These aren't packages.
Every project is scoped around the brief, the creative approach and what actually needs to be delivered.

Real projects · Real scope
What different levels of investment look like.
The best way to understand the difference is to see the work.
These are three real MHF projects at different investment levels. They are not packages — they simply show how creative development, production and post-production affect scope.
Aon Thought leadership
01
Focused production
Project investment
£7,500
+ VAT
A focused shoot. More than one useful film.
Aon needed expert-led thought leadership around cyber security and AI. The production itself was focused, but the shoot was designed to create several finished assets rather than a single interview film.
Delivered
Long-form film
Trailer
Social cutdowns
Full post-production
Why this sat around £7.5k
A contained filming setup and focused creative approach, with the investment going into preparation, senior production and turning one shoot into several useful pieces of content.
Unily Glass AI product launch
02
More involved storytelling
Approx. investment
c. £13,000
+ VAT
When the product needs to become visible.
Unily Glass needed more than a straightforward filmed story. The value of the AI product had to be explained visually, combining proposition, product UI and animation into one launch film.
The scope involved
Creative development
Product storytelling
UI animation
Motion design
Why the investment increased
More of the project sat in creative development and post-production: working out how to communicate the proposition visually, then designing and animating the product experience.
Awin SaaS brand film
03
Larger creative production
Approx. investment
c. £25,000
+ VAT
A bigger idea. More ambition behind the execution.
The Awin film sat at a different level of creative ambition. More of the project was invested in developing the idea and creating a distinctive piece of brand and product storytelling.
Investment at this level can include
Creative ideation
Creative treatments
More involved production
Specialist craft + post
Where the investment goes
At this level, you are not simply paying for more filming. More of the investment sits in the idea, creative development and the craft required to execute it.
The important bit
The budget doesn't decide the idea. The brief does.
We start with what needs to be communicated, then build the right level of creative and production around it.

What full-service means
More than the filming day.
A full-service MHF project covers the thinking, preparation, production and post-production needed to turn a brief into finished work.
The exact scope changes from project to project, but our role is to connect the original objective to what finally gets delivered — not simply turn up and film it.
01
Shape
Get the thinking right.
Messaging, creative direction, scripting, interview development and deciding how the story should work.
02
Prepare
Make production run properly.
Contributors, locations, schedules, logistics, production planning and everything needed before cameras roll.
03
Produce
Put the right team around it.
Senior-led filming with the crew, equipment and specialists the brief actually needs.
04
Finish
Turn the idea into finished work.
Editing, animation where needed, colour, sound, captions, feedback, versioning and final delivery.
Senior continuity
The people shaping the thinking stay close to the work. From the first conversation through production, feedback and final delivery.
Production-only support
Already have everything planned?
If the strategy, message, contributors and production plan are already in place, MHF can also provide experienced production support without the wider full-service scope.
Production-only filming from
£1,900 + VAT
For contained filming requirements where the wider project planning and creative direction are already covered.
How we quote
Clear scope. Clear costs. No surprises.
You should know what you are commissioning, what is included and what it will cost before the project starts.
Once the scope is agreed, that is the project fee we work to. If something changes, we discuss the impact with you before additional costs are incurred.
01
Scope agreed upfront.
We set out what we are making, the agreed deliverables, what MHF is responsible for and what is included in the project fee before work begins.
02
External costs made visible.
If a project needs studio hire, actors, specialist locations, travel or other third-party costs, we make those requirements clear rather than hiding them inside vague production fees.
03
Feedback is built in.
Your proposal makes clear what feedback and amendment rounds are included, so there is a defined route from first cut to final delivery.
04
Scope changes before cost changes.
Projects sometimes evolve. If the brief grows, we explain what has changed and agree any additional investment with you before proceeding.
The principle If the scope stays the same, the agreed project fee stays the same.
Payment
Simple terms for full-service projects.
50%
To commission Confirms the project and allows production to begin.
50%
On completion The remaining balance is invoiced when the project is complete.
Applies to most full-service projects over £5,000 + VAT. Any different payment terms will be made clear in your proposal.
Have a budget already? Tell us. We would rather shape the right scope around a real budget than make you guess what is possible.
Discuss your project
Before we talk
A few things you might be wondering.
You do not need to arrive with a perfectly scoped brief.
If you know the objective, audience, timing or budget, that is usually enough for us to start a useful conversation.
01
Can you work to a specific budget?
Yes. If you have a budget range, tell us. We can work backwards from it and be clear about the strongest scope we think is achievable. We would rather have that conversation upfront than design something you cannot commission.
02
What if we do not know exactly what we need yet?
That is completely fine. Some clients come to us with a detailed brief. Others come with a product launch, business problem, message or audience they need help communicating. We can help shape the right approach.
03
How quickly can you give us a cost?
For a straightforward brief, we can usually give you an initial indication quickly. More complex projects may need a short conversation first so we can understand the creative and production requirements properly.
Not sure where your project sits?
Tell us what you're trying to communicate.
Send us a finished brief, a rough idea or simply the problem you are trying to solve. We will help you work out the right approach, scope and level of investment.
