We shot on location at their  workshop in West Yorkshire for a full day  and then picked the best bits from over 400 minutes of footage and edited it down to just one minute. The finished piece was online less than one week later!

We have just launched a new range of value added production packages for our clients – with prices starting from just £800!

The three packages – Shoot Silver, Shoot Gold and Shoot Platinum offer a range of set price services, from the production of a 3 minute web video to a 5 minute promotional DVD.

Commenting on the range of packages, Sarah Senior, one of the founders of the company said,

“Our inspiration for these packages was from our clients asking how much a short video costs. It’s all too easy to baffle people with a list of options and costing – so we took the three most commonly asked for types of productions and created Silver, Gold and Platinum packages.”

The prices range from £800 - £1699 and are ideal for web videos, exhibition stands, promotional DVDs and product awareness films.

If you would like more information about our range, please contact our office on 0845 6880188, or alternatively you can e-mail shoot@shootproductions.co.uk
