What is video production?
Video production is the process of transforming your ideas into powerful visual stories. Creating engaging, educational, and exciting material involves more than simply cameras and editing.
For marketing managers, business owners, and organisations, video is an essential tool for building brand awareness, connecting with audiences, and achieving key business goals. Whether it’s a brand documentary, promotional content, or event coverage, the right video can make all the difference.
At SW Productions, we take the complexity out of video production, handling everything from concept to delivery. Our team works closely with you to understand your vision and create high-quality, impactful content, without adding extra pressure to your workload. With our expertise, you get a seamless, stress-free process that results in videos that work for your brand, engage your audience, and deliver results.
We recently worked with SW Productions on our maritime educational video, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their expertise and industry knowledge were evident from the start, ensuring they fully understood the message we wanted to convey.
Collaboration was seamless, their team was professional, highly responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They executed the editing swiftly without compromising quality, delivering a polished final product that exceeded our expectations.
If you’re looking for a production team that combines skill, efficiency, and professionalism, I highly recommend SW Productions. A fantastic experience from start to finish!

Our video production process
We turn making videos into a smooth, stress-free process so you can focus on your story while we take care of the rest. Here’s how we bring your story to life:
Ready to Bring your story to life? Contact us
1 / Creative Kickoff
This is a chance to share ideas, brainstorm, and gain inspiration from similar projects. We’ll sit down with you to get to know who you are and what you’re after, whether that’s a promotional video, corporate video, brand documentary, or something else entirely.
2 / Pre-Production Planning
We develop a storyboard and script (if needed), scout the best shooting locations, prepare equipment, and schedule shoot dates.
3 / Production (Filming)
Time to bring your story to life. We head to the filming location to capture high-quality footage while monitoring audio, lighting, and every shot to ensure nothing goes amiss. Our comprehensive checklist ensures we capture all necessary shots, including ample b-roll to provide flexibility in post-production.
4 / Post-production
Now, we work our magic. Our team edits, colour grades, and fine-tunes the visuals, adding sound design and motion graphics to create engaging videos. We’ll share the first cut for your feedback and make sure every frame is on brand before hitting publish.
5 / and that’s a wrap
Once approved, we deliver your video in the best format for your chosen social media platforms or marketing campaign (e.g., MP4, MOV). We’ll package up your final video along with optimised versions for additional channels and any pre-agreed extras, such as raw footage.

Frequently asked questions about our video production services
Do you travel for filming?
We’re born explorers and love to tell the stories of brands and communities both near and far. While we are primarily based in Plymouth and do most of our work across the South West and London, we can (and have) travelled nationally and globally.
Additional travel costs and fees may be factored into our service, depending on location.
What is the cost of video production?
Our video production prices vary due to the bespoke nature of our work. We treat each client’s needs individually and create customised proposals based on the type of service they require and their expectations. Our baseline day for shooting footage starts at £950 (+ VAT), and our day rate for video editing starts at £500 (+ VAT).
Contact us to discuss your video production project and potential prices.
Do you work with businesses of all sizes?
We’ve helped businesses of all sizes, from local companies like South West Surfacing Specialists to international brands like Salesforce. Our ideal clients are established brands, companies, and non-profit organisations in the sustainability industry. We love building lasting relationships with established organisations who share our core values of quality, creativity, and sustainability and are invested in the project.
Do you offer storyboarding?
Some brands come to us with a clear vision, while others need a little help putting ideas on paper. We offer storyboarding services for video projects that need them to explore creative ideas and get everyone on the same page before filming begins.
What type of video should I create for my business?
That really depends on what you want to achieve and the audience you’re targeting. Promo videos are excellent for promoting a new product or service, while brand documentaries can send powerful messages about an important cause. You can also use social media videos to raise brand awareness and engage your target audience.
Our services flex to your specific goals. If you’re unsure what you’re looking for, get in touch and bounce ideas off our video team.
