- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -

Spending money on visual content can be a big decision. With so many production companies out there all promising different things, choosing one that’s right for you can be a difficult decision. Here at BRC we aim to make your experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible. If this is your first time visiting us, you undoubtedly have a lot of questions - here's some we get asked on a regular basis that might help clear things up for you...

WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT VIDEO?

2017 was the year online video consumption rose to a whole new level. If your business isn't yet taking advantage of online video content then I'm afraid to say your competitors most certainly are. If you're not yet convinced, lets look at a few facts...

  • Over half a billion people watch video content on Facebook everyday

  • A third of ALL online activity is spent watching video

  • 40% of ALL consumers state that video increases the chance they'll purchase a product on their mobile device

  • The average consumer spends almost twice as much time on a website that contains video content

  • Having a video on your website's homepage makes it twice as likely to show up on page one of a search engine

What services do you provide?

We specialise in videography and photography and handle everything from the pre-production stage through to the post-production stage. In simple terms that means we can come up with the ideas, shoot the ideas and edit the content before delivering it to you in its final form.

How much does it cost?

This is similar to asking 'how long is a piece of string?' Every project is different so it really depends on your requirements and the duration / turnaround of the project. We cover all cost related issues in our terms and conditions - just drop us an email and we'll send them across to you. 

What's the average turnaround time for a project?

Again there's no definitive answer to this question. It really just depends on the nature of the project. We always strive to turn projects around in a timely manner without sacrificing quality - for example if we film an event video and you want to put it out within a few days while it's still fresh in people's minds, then we'll go the extra mile to make that happen for you. 

Why should we choose black rock creative?

As our name would suggest, we’re big advocates of creativity. We approach every single one of our projects from a creative standpoint to ensure the final product represents you, your business and your target audience in an engaging manner. Here at BRC we pride ourselves not only on the quality of our work but the level and reliability of the service we provide. Because we’re a small company, you’ll be dealing directly with us every step of the way. 

WHAT SIZE PROJECTS CAN YOU HANDLE?

It may sound like a cliche but no project is too large or too small for us to handle. We can cover everything from single camera jobs through to large scale multi-camera projects. For larger projects we often call on a team of trusted freelance camera men or sound engineers. We’ve worked alongside some of the UK’s most talented professionals on multi-camera shoots for several years and can count on their skill, creativity and experience whenever it’s called for.

We're from a creative agency, can we subcontract you to work on our projects? 

Absolutely! We're always eager to build new relationships and are more than happy to work in conjunction with agencies across the UK. If you're looking to recruit a reliable freelance photographer or videographer to produce top-notch results that reflect the professionalism of your agency, then look no further and get in touch now.

CAN WE HAVE THE RAW PHOTOS/ VIDEO FILES FROM A PROJECT YOU SHOOT FOR US?

Unfortunately we’re not in the habit of sharing raw videos or photos with our clients. Raw files are unedited and not an accurate representation of the standard we like to set here at Black Rock Creative. We also like to know where and how our work is being used - if we start sharing raw files then we lose the ability to control the presence of our brand out in the world.

DO YOU SHOOT WEDDINGS?

Yes we do! We have been shooting wedding videos and photos ever since we started our business. We now have a separate website dedicated to our wedding videography and photography which you can find here - www.acaciaweddings.com
