Questions, answered.
How much does a videographer cost in Manchester?
Every job is quoted bespoke against the brief. Day rates start from £350, with the final figure depending on crew size, shoot length, kit and edit complexity. We always quote fixed before any work begins.
Do you travel outside Manchester?
Yes. We work across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool and Leeds as standard, and travel UK-wide and internationally, we've recently shot in Abu Dhabi for an F1 client.
Can you turn around an event film the same day?
Yes. For conferences, launches and sports events we can deliver a 60–90 second highlight reel within two hours of the last shot. Just flag it at the briefing stage so we can plan the edit suite.
Are you insured?
Fully. £5m public liability, £2m professional indemnity, and all kit individually insured. Certificates available on request for venue or client procurement.
Do you offer drone footage?
Yes. We hold an A2 CofC drone qualification and £5m drone-specific public liability cover, suitable for most commercial shoots in the Manchester area (subject to airspace permissions).
Can I see examples before I book?
Of course. The /media page on this site holds selected work, and we're happy to share private edits relevant to your sector on request, particularly for fashion, FMCG, tech and events.
