Professional services

Made for how professional services teams work.

For firms where the brand is the people and the standard is high. We make executive and leadership pieces, staff interviews and internal comms that hold up inside the business and out in the market. Calm on set, clear from the first brief.

We film for PwC, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, and Hill Consulting. Firms where the work is the people, and the video has to sound like them.

Filming inside a working firm.

The hard part is rarely the camera. It is getting a partner in a chair for long enough, on a day that already has clients in it.

So we plan around the person, not the shoot. We set up before they arrive, keep the crew small and the footprint low, and have everything lit and tested so they sit down and start talking. Most leadership pieces need under an hour of their time.

Confidentiality gets handled up front. We agree what can appear on screen, clear desks and monitors before we roll, and sign whatever your firm needs us to sign. Nothing goes anywhere without your sign-off.

One session, a year of content.

A partner in the chair for an hour is worth more than one video. We shoot it so the same session cuts several ways.

That usually means a main piece for the website, shorter answers for LinkedIn, and vertical cuts for social. We film the room and the people around it at the same time. That gives the edit something to cut to, and the firm looks like a real place rather than a stock photo.

The result is a set of pieces you can release over months, from one morning that cost your partners one meeting slot.

The pieces that actually win work.

Firms tend to ask for a brand film first. It is rarely the piece that brings in the next client.

A partner profile does more, because a buyer wants to know who they will be sitting across from. A client telling the story of a result does more again, because it is the only proof a prospect fully believes. Both are cheaper to make than a brand film and both get watched further through.

Thought leadership sits underneath them. One partner, one point of view, cut into short pieces for LinkedIn. It is the cheapest way to stay in front of a market between pitches, and it comes out of a session you were already paying for.

We will tell you which of these fits the goal you have, and say so if the answer is that you do not need a film at all.

What we make

How it runs

How a professional services job runs.

Four steps, and only one of them needs much of your people.

  1. 01

    The brief

    One call. What the video is for, who has to appear in it, who signs it off and when you need it. We come back with a scope and a fixed price, usually inside a business day.

  2. 02

    The plan

    We agree the questions, the rooms, the running order and the confidentiality rules. Your people get a short brief so nobody is handed a script the morning of.

  3. 03

    The day

    We set up and light before anyone arrives. Partners are staggered so nobody waits. Most sit down, talk, and go back to their desk inside the hour.

  4. 04

    The edit

    First cut on the date we said, reviewed in Frame.io so comments sit against the frame. Two rounds of changes are included. Final files are yours to use anywhere.

Where we film

Professional services video across Sydney.

Most of this work happens in the CBD, so that is where we are most weeks. We film in firm offices across Sydney and travel anywhere in Australia for a job.

The honest comparison

Why not just any crew.

Anyone can point a camera. Getting a polished result out of a time-poor partner, inside a firm with confidentiality rules, is the part that is hard.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How much of our partners' time do you need?

Usually under an hour each. We set up and light the room before they walk in, so their time is spent talking, not waiting. If we are filming several people we stagger them so nobody sits around.

Can you film without disrupting the office?

Yes. We work with a small crew and quiet kit, and we can shoot early or between meetings. Tell us the rooms we can use and the times that are off limits, and we will build the day around them.

How do you handle client confidentiality?

We agree before the shoot what can appear on screen, and we clear desks, monitors and whiteboards before we roll. We are happy to sign your NDA. Nothing is published until you have approved the cut.

Who owns the finished video?

You do. The final files are yours to use wherever you like, with no licence period and no usage fees. If you also want the raw footage we can supply it, and we will quote that separately.

Do you film in our office or a studio?

Usually your office. Your own space looks like you, and it saves your people leaving the building. We bring lighting and sound, so a plain meeting room with a door that closes is enough. If you would rather shoot on a set we can arrange that too.

Our partners hate being on camera. Can you work with that?

That is most people, and it is the part we are best at. We shoot conversationally rather than to a script, ask questions instead of pointing a camera at a monologue, and keep the crew small so it feels like a chat. The first two minutes are always the worst and we plan for that.

Can you film several partners in one day?

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to do it. We stagger them through the day so nobody sits waiting, and light once for all of them. Five or six people in a day is comfortable.

How long does it take to get the finished video?

Ten business days from shoot to final cut is standard, with two rounds of changes inside that. If you are working to a pitch or a conference date, tell us and we will work back from it.

How much does video for a professional services firm cost in Sydney?

It depends on the scope. The number of videos, filming days, locations, how many people we interview and the edit all move the price. You get one fixed quote up front, so there are no surprises later. Tell us what you have in mind and we will scope it and send a clear quote, usually inside a business day.

Can one shoot give us LinkedIn, website and internal comms pieces?

Yes, and we would recommend it. We plan the day so one shoot feeds several pieces. You get the main video plus short cutdowns for LinkedIn, the site and internal comms, all from the same footage and at a fraction of what three shoots would cost.
