Let’s start with the question we get asked the most! For video, the answer depends on several things, for example:
Whether we’re filming in one location or several
How long we need to allow for filming and how large a crew we need
How complex the edited video is – especially if it involves animated elements
Whether we’re producing a single video or several related videos
For animation, the costs will depend on:
The style and complexity of animation (for example 2D versus 3D)
Whether we are working with existing assets such as characters or whether these need to be created from scratch
The duration of the final animation
Most importantly, we work with clients who have a range of budgets, so whatever your requirements we can find a solution.

Every project is different, but broadly speaking the production process can be broken down into three phases:
Pre-production: This is when we work with you to learn all about your business and together define what it is you need from video. Some of the questions we might explore are: Who is your target audience? What platforms do you want to publish on? What are the key messages you want to communicate?
From there we’ll create a video outline and/or detailed script, confirm budgets and arrange any filming dates with you.
Production: ZAPPL ‘filming’. This is bit most people think of when they talk about creating videos. Our crew will capture all the required footage – such as interviews, event footage or product demonstrations. We might film at your premises, at our studio or at some other locations relevant to the video messages.
Post-production: Once we’ve captured all the footage we’ll get to work on the edit, crafting the footage into a coherent narrative and adding graphics, titles and music as appropriate. You’ll have chance to review one or more drafts and give feedback before everything is finalized.
The size of our crew depends on the project. For simple interviews or case studies, a single videographer can handle it. For more comprehensive shoots, we prefer a two- or three-person crew, including a producer/director and one or two camera operators. For complex projects, we might add extra crew like sound recordists or drone operators. All additional costs will be included in our quote.
As a starting point we’ll arrange a face-to-face meeting or ask you to fill out a short questionnaire to help us understand the project requirements. From there you can have as much or as little input into the scripting, filming and editing as you’d like. In any case we’ll keep you informed at every step of the process.
For animation, we generally agree the key messages with you and then we work on a draft script and a suggested visual style for review. However we’re also happy to work from a full script or storyboard provided to us.
Alongside the filming we’ll create any motion graphics required for the video. These could range from a simple animated logo to a series of stylish infographics. We always use graphics in a way that complements rather than complicates the message of the video.
Yes, we can add voiceovers and music to your video. We offer a variety of voiceover samples for you to choose from and handle the rest. For background music, we source tracks from royalty-free libraries and provide the necessary licenses.
We film everything on professional broadcast-quality 6K video cameras and use additional kit – such as radio mics, lighting kit. Where appropriate. We continually invest in new kit and software to keep up-to-date with the rapidly changing standards of the industry.
We usually supply our finished videos in the most commonly used formats, typically .mp4 or .mov. However we’re happy to convert these into pretty much any other format free of charge.
We generally keep backup copies of any footage and project files for a minimum of two years. We’re happy to revisit and update older projects – for example if you have changed your branding or want to update facts and figures about your business. If there are concerns about data sensitivity we’re happy to delete all our copies of the media on completion of the project.
We can't promise your video will go viral—no one can! But we can definitely help you reach a wide audience. We offer advice on distribution and can connect you with our trusted SEO and social media experts.
Absolutely, you own all the rights to your video! We do keep the right to showcase it in our portfolio unless you prefer otherwise. Spread the word!

You should allocate 4 weeks to your video project. This includes the first week for pre-production planning: concept development, script writing, scheduling and shot list. Week 2 for filming. And 2 weeks for editing, feedback, changes, and final touches.
Yes. We’re satisfied only once you’re completely happy. When it comes to the post-production stage, we’re happy to continue editing your video until you are 100% satisfied with it.
