FAQ's

What types of videos do local councils typically commission?

Local councils commonly commission community engagement and consultation films, public health and safety campaigns, annual report and civic communications videos, regeneration and investment promotion content, internal staff training films, housing and planning consultation videos, and equality, diversity and inclusion content. We produce content for marketing teams, communications departments, regeneration teams and internal HR functions across local authorities.

Do you have experience working with local authority procurement processes?

Yes. We have delivered video production for Stoke-on-Trent City Council and other public bodies, and understand how local authority commissioning works from framework agreements and fixed-fee proposals to multi-stage approval processes involving communications, legal and senior leadership teams. We provide clear, itemised quotes that align with public sector procurement and budget sign-off requirements.

Can you produce videos that meet public sector accessibility requirements?

Yes. All our video content can be delivered with subtitles, closed captions and accessible formats as standard, supporting compliance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018. We build accessibility into production from the outset rather than treating it as an add-on, which is particularly important for councils publishing public-facing communications and consultation content.

Do you work with councils outside the Midlands?

Yes. While we are based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, we deliver public sector video production for local authorities and government organisations across England and Wales. Our Midlands base gives us efficient, cost-effective access to councils across the Midlands, North West and beyond, and we regularly travel further afield for filming, with all travel costs set out transparently at the proposal stage.

What is the typical turnaround time for a public consultation video?

Turnaround depends on scope, but a straightforward community consultation film typically takes 2–4 weeks from filming to final delivery, including a review and approval round. Larger, multi-stakeholder projects such as regeneration or investment films requiring several sign-off stages usually take longer. We agree clear timelines and delivery dates as part of every fixed-fee proposal.

Can you produce videos in multiple formats for different channels?

Yes. From a single shoot, we deliver content formatted for your website, social media platforms, internal communications channels and digital advertising including vertical cuts for Instagram and TikTok alongside longer-form website and YouTube edits. This maximises the value of every production day and gives your communications team a ready-to-use content library rather than a single output.

What budget should a council expect to allocate for a community engagement film?

Public sector video projects typically range from around £2,000 for a short community communications or consultation film, up to £15,000 or more for multi-output campaign productions involving several locations, animation or extended post-production. We provide clear, fixed-fee proposals scoped to your brief and are experienced in working within public sector budget frameworks.

Have you worked on any regeneration or Levelling Up-related projects?

Yes. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, one of England's most actively regenerating cities, we have experience producing content connected to regeneration, investment and civic pride, including work with Stoke-on-Trent City Council and East Staffordshire Borough Council. We understand how to communicate the value of place-based investment and regeneration projects to residents, investors and funding bodies alike.
