Video Production in Durham
Video for Durham businesses, made for a defined purpose rather than as a general asset. The video that fails is usually the one commissioned without a decision about where it will play — a film built for a website behaves badly as an advert, and a paid-social cut is wrong on a homepage.
Why this comes up
The problem
A video is wanted and the brief is that the business needs one. Where it will run, what it should make someone do, and how long anyone will actually watch have not been settled.
What you get
What we deliver
- Purpose and placement agreed before anything is planned or shot
- A script written for the format, since a two-minute film is a different craft
- Production scaled to the use, because a social ad does not need a cinema crew
- Multiple cuts from one shoot, so the material serves several placements
- Subtitles and captions, since much of the audience watches without sound
- Delivery in the specifications each platform needs rather than one master file

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Video Production in Durham — common questions
- What makes a video fail?
- Being made without a placement in mind. Length, pacing and opening are entirely different for a website, a paid social feed and a conference screen. A single film asked to serve all three does none of them well, and it is the most common brief we receive.
- How long should it be?
- As long as it holds attention, which is far shorter than most briefs assume. Retention data shows steep drop-off in the first fifteen seconds on social. For a website explainer, ninety seconds is generous. Length should follow the format rather than the amount you want to say.
- Can one shoot produce several videos?
- Yes, and it should — planning for multiple cuts at the outset costs little extra and produces far more usable material. Deciding afterwards that you also need a short version usually means reshooting, because the coverage was not captured.
- Do we need subtitles?
- Yes. A large share of social video is watched with sound off, and captions also make content accessible to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing. This is one of the cheapest things you can do and one of the most frequently skipped.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
