Documentary Production

We produce short and long-form documentaries: brand and heritage stories, charity films and episodic series. The studio handles research, scripting, narration and the complete edit in-house.

What's included

• Research and story development.
• Scripting and narration.
• Archive-style and AI-assisted visuals where filming isn't possible.
• Interviews and filmed footage where real people tell the story.
• Full edit, grade and sound mix.
• Single films, series and episodic formats.

How a documentary project runs

1. Story call — the subject, audience and where it will be shown.
2. Research and treatment — the structure and the key moments.
3. Script — narration and interview plan.
4. Production — interviews, filming and visual reconstruction.
5. Edit — rough cut, review, fine cut.
6. Delivery — masters for web, broadcast or festival use, plus social trailers.

AI, filmed or hybrid: how we choose

• AI-generated suits concepts, product visuals, locations you can't film and fast variations for testing.
• Filmed suits real people, real places and anything where authenticity is the point.
• Hybrid mixes both scene by scene, and is the right answer for most commercial briefs.

We recommend a route on the first call and explain the trade-offs in plain English, so you are never pushed into AI when filming would serve you better.

Pricing

Documentaries are quoted per project, because length, research and filming vary widely. Book a free call for a written quote, or see pricing for our standard packages.
