SC 06 Questions
Questions
How much does it cost?
Every package has a published price. Prices show as "from" because the final figure depends on hours on site, crew size and edits. Send the brief and we come back with a fixed quote.
Bookshops are small. Will you get in the way?
No. One camera operator, compact kit and a small mic on the author, so the event still feels like an event.
Can you record the whole talk?
Yes. We record the reading or conversation in full alongside the highlight film, ready for the author's site or the publisher's channels.
Can you film and photograph at the same time?
Yes. The Film + Photo package puts a camera operator and a photographer on the same booking, with one contact for both.
Do you travel outside London?
Yes. We cover London and the surrounding counties as standard. Further afield, travel is quoted with the job.
