Inspired Film and Video is a UK video production company with over 20 years' experience working with universities and higher education institutions. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, we produce promotional films, student recruitment videos, e-learning content, graduation live streaming and open day coverage for universities across England and Wales. We work with marketing, communications and registry teams to deliver content that supports student recruitment, brand positioning and institutional communications — on time, on budget and built for multichannel use.
We work across the full range of higher education video needs, from major recruitment campaigns to day-to-day communications content.
We understand HE procurement and timelines. University marketing and communications projects move to academic calendars — clearing, enrolment, open day season, graduation — and we plan and deliver around your institutional deadlines, not ours.
We've worked on both sides of the camera in higher education. From student recruitment films to graduation live streams to research impact content, we understand the range of audiences, approval processes and brand standards that university video production involves.
Accessibility is built in. All our video content can be delivered with subtitling, closed captions and accessible formats as standard, meeting your obligations under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations.
Midlands-based, nationally delivered. Our studio and production base is in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire — well placed for universities across the Midlands, North West and beyond. We regularly travel for shoots across England and Wales.
One production partner, multiple outputs. We produce content that works across your website, social media, digital advertising, internal channels and UCAS-facing platforms — maximising the value of every production day.
We have produced video content for universities and higher education institutions, including the University of Oxford, University of Staffordshire, Keele University, Bangor University in North Wales, and institutions across London and the wider UK. Our clients include marketing and communications teams, registry offices, research departments and student unions.
University video projects vary significantly in scope and scale. As a general guide:
A student testimonial or short-course promotional film typically ranges from £1,500 to £4,000, depending on the number of filming days, locations, and edit complexity. A full institutional promotional film with multiple locations, student talent and full post-production typically ranges from £5,000 to £15,000+. Graduation live streaming packages typically start from £2,000 for a single ceremony, with multi-ceremony and multi-camera packages available.
We provide clear, fixed-fee proposals and are experienced in working within university procurement and budget approval processes. We are happy to discuss framework agreements for institutions commissioning video regularly throughout the academic year.
Whether you're planning your next student recruitment campaign, need live streaming for graduation, or want to explore a longer-term video production partnership, we'd welcome the conversation.
