What makes a great brand film?
It’s a question we get asked a lot as a video production company in London. The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all — but there are key ingredients that make a brand film powerful: strong storytelling, emotional clarity, and a clear sense of identity. We’ve pulled together a guide with examples of our work across fashion, finance, and the arts to break down exactly what makes a great brand film.

Great team, allowed us a lot of flexibility in planning our video production around a group of international executives with limited available time, incredibly adaptable with us during post production and series of SME based reviews and live edits.

Matt Dunstan
Here Now Films is always my first call when filming internationally in the UK. This was my second time working with them, and once again, they delivered above and beyond. On our most recent trip, they supported us a phenomenal key production assistant throughout the UK and a great DP in Manchester (a new city for us). They matched the exact camera and lighting kit I use back in the States keeping things consistent for our brand.
What really stood out this time was the support from our key PA. He personally ushered me and my U.S.-based DP to every single shoot location throughout the week, and even drove me from London to Manchester. Always on time, if not early, and an excellent driver. I’ve always been uncomfortable driving on the opposite side of the road when traveling internationally, so that accommodation made a huge difference.
The first time we worked together in London, they provided a full crew and both shoots ran flawlessly. Communication is always smooth, the team is kind, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. Most importantly, our clients are always happy when they’re involved. Looking forward to many more future projects together. Here Now is truly a go-to partner in the UK!
Response from the owner:Hey Matt,
Thanks so much for the kind words. Honestly blown away by the above. If you ever need film crew support or video production assistance across London or the rest of the UK, we're here to help.
Hope you and the team have a great end to the year in the USA!
Best,
Ed
Will Harris
These guys are fab and we will keep working with them in the future
Response from the owner:Thanks a lot Will, next time you need a TV Commercial we’ve got you covered.
Joe Devine
I worked with a crew of four people from Here Now Films for a pilot project. Morgan, the organiser, was very proficient and quick to respond to communications. We met for the first time on the day with a bit of a hazy plan for a tricky shoot, but the crew took it all in their step and the final product was great. Would recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the kind words Joe, it was a pleasure working on this with you. If you need us again, we’d be stoked to jump in and help.
Miranda Spiro
I have worked with Here Now for two projects now and both have been hugely successful. The team are collaborative, creative and reliable. They have executed both projects to a supremely high standard and we are all delighted with the results. Will definitely be using them for future projects.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words Miranda! You guys have been brilliant to work with. Looking forward to the next video project, in London or where ever you need to send us, soon!

Mopani Mkandawire
We had the pleasure of working with Here Now Films on a recent project that required sourcing film crews in multiple locations on short notice. Despite the tight deadlines and logistical challenges, they exceeded our expectations in every way.
Their ability to quickly assemble professional and talented crews was impressive, and their dedication to meeting our deadlines was commendable. The quality of the content produced was outstanding and played a crucial role in the success of our project.
We highly recommend Here Now Films for any production needs. Their professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to excellence make them an invaluable partner.
Response from the owner:Hey Mo,
Thanks so much for such a lovely review. You guys were a pleasure to work with, loved the project and can’t wait for the next! If you ever need video production in London just give us a shout.

From AirBnB, to FatFace, we bring our passion for creativity and mix it with our foundations in documentary to create hard hitting brand films that connect with your audience.
What brand video production services do you offer?
No two brand productions are the same but they all have a similar process in getting from idea to finished creation. We can help with as little or as much of the process as possible.
We’ve deliver all types of brand films for London’s best loved brands. No two films are the same and often a film doesn’t fit into an exact category but to give you a bit of a flavor of the types of productions we’ve deliver:
Making great brand films isn’t about a resume, it’s about understanding the story, having a finger on the pulse and being bold in the process! Sure, we went to one of the UK’s best film schools and yes we’ve got a portfolio of some of London’s best loved brands. For every brand we approach the process anew and think “how can this film connect with their audience”. Our approach has led us to deliver standout productions for the likes of Dominos Pizzas, airbnb, and some of the UK’s best loved brands.
How much does a brand video cost?
As a rule of thumb, the cost of a brand film starts at around £5,000 for simple shoots. On average, a brand film in London cost about £7,000-£12,000. Brand films can cost over £100,000 for complex high end shoots.
How long does it take to make a brand video?
A brand film can be planned, filmed and edited in a week if needed! However, most brand films need a bit of time to go back and forth on the idea and creative then they need a bit of time to plan and lock in the logistics for the filming plus the editing time. On average a brand film takes between 2 weeks to 2 months to go from initial chat to finished film.
What equipment do you use?
Here Now Films owns and shoots on Netflix approved, full frame, cinema cameras. We own all our own lights and sound equipment too. What is this important? It means our costs are as low as they can be, with no extra additions later down the line, whilst never compromising on quality.
Do you have the correct insurance to shoot brand films?
We’ve made brand films for some of the London’s leading brands. Whether it’s an alpine shoot in sub zero water, or a flying a drone over a busy crowded area, we’re always over ensured to make sure the team, public and client are protected above and beyond.
