Compelling brand films and promotional videos that tell your story, build personality and drive real results.
A well-crafted brand film is one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal. It communicates who you are, what you stand for and why clients should choose you — in the time it takes to watch a short video.
At Medialook, I blend creative storytelling with commercial focus. Every brand film is built around your goals: whether that's website conversion, social engagement, trade show presence or internal communications.
I can also shoot B-roll footage — the extra material that enriches your narrative and gives far greater flexibility during the edit. Instead of relying solely on interviews, B-roll adds dimension and visual depth to your story.
The difference between a brand film that gets used and one that quietly disappears from a marketing folder usually comes down to the brief, not the budget. Before any camera comes out of the bag, the questions that matter are: who is watching this, where will they see it, and what should they think or feel afterwards? A brand film for a homepage hero has a different job from one cut for a LinkedIn campaign or a trade show loop — and trying to make one film do all three jobs at once is the most common reason a project underdelivers.
A strong brand film blends emotional storytelling with commercial clarity. It should communicate who you are and why you're different, but it also needs a clear call to action and a defined place in your funnel. For most London and Berkshire businesses I work with — from consumer electronics brands in Farnborough to professional services firms in the City — the most effective approach is a single shoot day that produces a hero film plus a set of shorter social cuts, all planned in advance so the economics of one day's filming stretch across multiple channels.
Production values matter, but not for their own sake. Clean audio, considered lighting and a confident edit signal competence to a prospect who has never met you. Conversely, a brand film that looks rushed or sounds muddy actively works against the impression you're trying to create. That's why I shoot on Canon Cinema cameras with Sennheiser audio and Aputure lighting as standard — not as a spec-sheet flex, but because those fundamentals are what separate a film that builds trust from one that undermines it.
For a website hero or homepage, 60–90 seconds tends to perform best — long enough to tell a story, short enough to hold attention. For social media, shorter 15–30 second cuts work better. I usually deliver a main film plus several short cuts from the same shoot so you have the right length for each channel.
A typical brand film starts from £1,200 + VAT for a full day of filming, plus post-production. The final cost depends on shoot length, number of locations, and the complexity of the edit. I provide a clear itemised quote after a free consultation — no surprises.
Most brand films are filmed in a single day, with the edit delivered within two weeks. An express turnaround is available for time-sensitive campaigns and events.

The Appian brand film Lukas produced for our partnership announcement was exactly the right tone — corporate enough for the boardroom, compelling enough for LinkedIn. It’s still one of our most-watched pieces.
