Work With Beast Films — Production Company London
Looking for an award-winning video production company in London?
Beast Films creates cinematic commercials, branded content and films for global brands, creative agencies and businesses across the UK and internationally.
Get in touch to discuss your next production.
How much does video production cost?
Video production costs can vary significantly depending on the scale, complexity, and ambition of the project. A simple shoot may start from a few thousand pounds, while larger commercial productions can range from £20,000 to £100,000+.
At Beast Films, we tailor every production to the brief — balancing creative ambition with budget to achieve the strongest possible result on screen.
What cameras do you use?
We keep some equipment in-house, but for most productions we source the right kit for each specific project. This allows us to stay flexible and match the camera and lenses to the creative requirements rather than being limited by a fixed package.
We typically shoot on high-end cinema cameras such as Alexa or RED systems paired with cine prime lenses, but we also regularly use more compact cameras like the Sony FX3 for interviews, documentary work, or run-and-gun setups where a lighter footprint is beneficial.
How long does video production take?
As a rough guide, most productions follow a structured timeline across three key stages.
Pre-production typically takes 2–3 weeks, allowing time for concept development, planning, casting, and logistics. Filming can range from a single day to a full week, depending on the scale of the project. Post-production usually takes a minimum of 2 weeks, often extending to 3–4 weeks or more for more complex edits, grading, sound design, and VFX-heavy work.
Each project is different, but this framework ensures the right balance between efficiency and delivering high-quality, cinematic results.
Can you work to tighter timelines or fast turnarounds?
Yes, we regularly deliver projects on accelerated timelines when required.
For smaller or more agile productions, we can reduce pre-production and post-production schedules and deliver high-quality work quickly. That said, timelines will always depend on the complexity of the brief, and we’ll advise on the best approach to maintain quality while meeting deadlines.
What does a video production company actually do?
A video production company manages the entire process of creating content — from concept development and scripting through to filming, post-production, and delivery.
As a London video production company, we work closely with brands and agencies to develop ideas, build the right team, and execute productions efficiently at any scale.
Do you work internationally or only in London?
While we are based in London, we regularly produce work across the UK and internationally.
Having filmed in over 30 countries, we manage global productions through a trusted network of crews, fixers, and local partners.
Can you work with agencies or in-house teams?
Yes, we regularly collaborate with creative agencies, marketing teams, and brand-side stakeholders.
Our role is to support and elevate the idea through production, ensuring it translates effectively on screen.
What types of video do you produce?
We produce a wide range of content, including commercials, branded content, corporate films, social content, and long-form storytelling.
Every project is approached with a focus on cinematic craft, clarity, and emotional impact.
Are you really the best video production company in London?
That’s a big claim, and there are a lot of excellent video production companies in London.
What we can say is that Beast Films is an award-winning London video production company, recognised at festivals including Cannes Lions and the London Brand Film Festival, and trusted by global brands, agencies, and broadcasters to deliver high-end work.
Ultimately, the best way to decide is to look at the work. If our approach, craft, and storytelling resonate, then we’re probably the right fit
