Make it relevant.
Start with the audience, whether that is a prospective student, parent, employer, partner or buyer, and show why the opportunity matters to them.
Education Video Production · UK + London
From student recruitment and scholarships to business engagement, training programmes and EdTech, MHF turns people, programmes and complex opportunities into clear, credible video audiences can understand and act on.
The Communication Challenge
Universities, schools and education brands often need to make different kinds of value clear to very different people.
A university might be recruiting students while also promoting employer training, funded programmes, research partnerships or specialist expertise. A school may need parents to understand its culture and approach. An EdTech company may need buyers to see how the product changes the experience.
MHF helps work out what each audience needs to understand first, then builds the story around it — using brand storytelling, real people and customer proof, product storytelling and motion where it helps make something easier to see.
The job is not to say everything about the institution. It is to make the right value clear to the right audience.
Start with the audience, whether that is a prospective student, parent, employer, partner or buyer, and show why the opportunity matters to them.
Turn programmes, funding, scholarships, training and digital products into stories people can understand without stripping away the substance.
Use real students, academics, businesses, partners and experts to give the audience evidence they can believe.
Selected Education Work
From helping businesses understand funded support to showing families what makes a school distinctive, we build each film around the audience and the decision they need to make.
University of Bedfordshire × West Northamptonshire
A case-study film around the University's UKSPF work, helping turn training, funding and business support into a story an external business audience can quickly understand.
Gray's Inn
Brand storytelling using people and place to communicate the character and role of a long-established legal institution in a more human way.
Aboyne Lodge Primary School

University of Bedfordshire
A film focused on business partnerships, giving an external audience a clearer picture of how the University works with organisations beyond the traditional student experience.
One institution can have several very different stories to tell. The two University of Bedfordshire projects above were created for different business-facing communication needs — which is why we start with the audience and the job, not a predetermined video format.
Education Video Production
We work with universities, schools, professional education organisations and EdTech teams. The format changes depending on whether you need to attract students, engage businesses, explain an opportunity, build trust or give expertise a platform.
Student Recruitment
Help prospective students picture themselves there.
Bring courses, campus, people and student experience to life before someone visits in person. We combine genuine voices with strong visual storytelling to give prospective students a clearer sense of what makes the institution distinctive.

Clear answers about budgets, safeguarding, university filming, EdTech, business engagement and getting more value from one production.
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what kind of film you need. We start with the audience, the message and what you need the content to help them understand or do.
Most full-service MHF education video projects start from around £7,500 + VAT.
Every project is quoted around what you actually need rather than fitted into a fixed package. Cost is usually shaped by the number of filming days and locations, contributors, final deliverables, animation or motion design and the number of versions required.
If one production needs to create several useful assets, we can plan those outputs from the beginning so the filming works harder.
We create video for universities, schools, professional education organisations and EdTech teams.
That can include university recruitment and open-day films, school brand films, student and alumni stories, business engagement campaigns, partnership case studies, funded programme communications, EdTech product videos and expert-led content.
The format follows the communication job rather than starting with a predetermined style of video.
Yes. Universities often need to communicate with employers, businesses, funders and regional partners as well as prospective students.
We can help explain training programmes, funded support, grants, research partnerships, specialist expertise and other opportunities in a way external audiences can quickly understand.
Our work with the University of Bedfordshire has included business-facing content as well as more traditional education communications.
We build the production around the safeguarding, access and consent requirements of the organisation we are filming with.
Before filming, we agree who can appear on camera, where the crew can work, any areas or individuals that must not be filmed and how contributors will be managed on the day.
The school, university or organisation remains responsible for confirming the appropriate permissions and consent under its own safeguarding and data policies. MHF then works within those agreed requirements throughout production.
Yes. Education filming often needs to happen around lessons, lectures, staff availability, busy campuses and spaces that cannot simply be closed for a production.
We plan schedules carefully with your team so we can capture the people and environments the story needs without creating unnecessary disruption.
Where interviews are required, we can build quieter controlled filming windows around the wider activity of the day.
Yes. For EdTech and digital learning products we can combine strategic messaging, product UI, screen content, motion design and live action.
We can work from live platforms, screen recordings, prototypes or Figma designs depending on where the product is in its development.
The aim is not simply to demonstrate features. It is to help the audience understand how the product changes the experience and why that matters.

Yes, and we generally recommend planning this before filming rather than deciding on extra edits afterwards.
One production might create a main campaign or brand film, shorter social edits, contributor clips, vertical versions, course or programme content and material for paid campaigns, websites or internal communications.
Planning the content system early helps us capture the right interviews, scenes and supporting material while everyone is already together.
The schedule depends on the complexity of the project, the number of contributors and locations, stakeholder availability, approvals and whether animation or multiple deliverables are involved.
At the start of the project we agree the key delivery date and work backwards from it, allowing enough time for messaging, pre-production, filming, editing and your review stages.
If the content needs to support a fixed event, enrolment period, campaign launch or funding deadline, tell us early and we will build the production schedule around it.
Yes. MHF is London-based and produces education video projects across the UK.
We can film on university campuses, in schools, workplaces, studios and partner locations depending on the story.
Where a project includes contributors or locations outside the UK, we can also manage international production as part of the wider campaign.
