How much does a brand film cost in London? (2026)

Most production companies won't put a price on their website. We do, because it saves everyone a week of emails and lets you walk into the first call knowing roughly where you'll land.

The short answer

Every London production we make starts at £5,500. Most land between £5,500 and £15,000. TV commercials start at £15,000, because broadcast brings bigger crews, more shoot days and more versions to deliver.

What each budget buys

• Creative workshop: free. A first call and a workshop on your brief, then a creative deck and an estimate. You see the idea and the number before you commit to anything.
• Shoot only: £1,690 a day. A producer and a cinematographer for a London day, with two cameras, lenses, sound and lighting. Expenses within London are included and you get the rushes. Right for teams with their own editor.
• Full production: from £5,500. The idea, the script, the London shoot, the edit, grade and sound design: one hero film of two to four minutes and two social cuts.
• Campaigns and TV commercials: scoped from the brief. Bigger crews, more shoot days, locations, motion graphics and every format.

What moves the number

Five things decide where a film lands in that range:

• Shoot days. The biggest single cost. One well-planned day beats two loose ones.
• Crew size. A lean crew suits interviews and products; drama, stunts and big sets need more hands.
• Locations. A studio or your own premises is cheaper than a hired location with travel between set-ups.
• Permits. Filming in public spaces in London often needs a permit, and some locations need more than one.
• How much the edit has to produce. One hero film costs less than a hero film plus six cutdowns, subtitles and paid-social versions.

How to get more film for the same money

Plan every version at the start. Cutdowns, vertical edits and stills shot on the same day cost a fraction of what a second shoot would. Ask for the usage rights in writing up front, too: with us you own the film, with no annual re-licensing, so the budget you approve is the whole cost.
