A customer story, a working process, an event or a campaign that needs to feel real.
We’re a video production company for Reading and Berkshire – Reading, Caversham and Theale, Wokingham, Bracknell and Ascot, Newbury and Thatcham, and Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough – making corporate, training, event, testimonial and promotional films for technology firms, head offices, estates, attractions and venues. We travel from our Suffolk base and plan each shoot around the site, the people on camera and where the film will be seen.
We have filmed in Berkshire: a promotional film and social content for the Wasing Estate’s pumpkin patch and woodland trail near Aldermaston, West Berkshire. Our other projects below were filmed in Winchester, Hampshire and in Caterham, Surrey, and each is labelled with where it was filmed.
An estate attraction in West Berkshire, a golf academy in Winchester and an energy site in Caterham. Only the Wasing film was made in Berkshire; each project is labelled with where it was filmed.
NEAR ALDERMASTON, WEST BERKSHIRE / WASING ESTATE
A day out, seen through the visitors.
For the Wasing Estate, about 12 miles south-west of Reading, one videographer followed families from the wheelbarrows through the decorated woodland trail to the pumpkin field, filming the real day rather than a staged one.
Wasing received a warm promotional film and social content for the season – the approach that suits Berkshire attractions, estates and seasonal events.
For Chrome Telecoms we filmed a lit interview with the director of Winchester Golf Academy, about 37 miles south of Reading, with footage of the reception, café, shop and driving range.
At Root-Power’s Tillingdown battery-storage site we recorded two scripted pieces to camera with a teleprompter in about two hours, plus ground and aerial footage of the site.
Choose the purpose first. We can shape the coverage, crew and final formats around your audience, locations and timetable.
01
Corporate & technology films
Company, recruitment and explainer films for the technology firms, head offices and professional practices on Reading's business parks and along the M4 corridor to Wokingham, Bracknell and Slough, with clean interview sound and permissions agreed in advance.
Films that sell the day out, not just the venue – as for the Wasing Estate near Aldermaston in West Berkshire, where we followed families from the woodland trail to the pumpkin field and delivered a promotional film and social content.
Speakers, exhibitors and interviews recorded in one day and edited into a highlights film and reusable clips – the approach we took as official videographers for the first Hampshire Business Show at the Ageas Bowl near Southampton.
Lit interviews and supporting footage filmed at your customer's premises, as in our case-study film for Chrome Telecoms at Winchester Golf Academy, about 37 miles south of Reading.
Direct-to-camera updates delivered with a teleprompter, plus site footage from the ground and the air – the format we used for Root-Power at its Tillingdown battery-storage site in Caterham, Surrey.
If you need a Reading or Berkshire videographer, we travel from our base near Sudbury. We cover Reading, Caversham, Theale, Wokingham, Bracknell, Ascot, Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough.
Reading is roughly 117 driving miles from our base, about two hours twenty minutes without traffic; Windsor is roughly 98 miles and Newbury roughly 136. Travel beyond 25 miles is charged as driving time, so shoots work best as half or full-day bookings, and we agree access, parking and timings with you before the day.
Head offices, technology firms and professional practices on the town's business parks and in the centre, plus the University of Reading, schools and venues from Caversham to Theale. Filming north of the river in Henley or elsewhere in Oxfordshire? See our Oxford page.
Technology, engineering and service businesses in Wokingham and Bracknell, and events and hospitality around Ascot, Crowthorne and Sandhurst. Filming over the border in Camberley or elsewhere in Surrey? See our Surrey page.
Businesses, estates, attractions and racecourse events in Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford and the villages around Aldermaston, where we filmed at the Wasing Estate. Heading south towards Basingstoke or Winchester? See our Hampshire page.
Offices, trading estates, hotels and visitor attractions along the Thames and the M4, from Maidenhead and Windsor to Slough. Filming closer to the capital? See our London page.
Also covering Twyford, Sandhurst, Crowthorne, Pangbourne, Eton and Burnham. Share the address and preferred date so we can confirm travel and availability. Need photographs too? See our Reading & Berkshire photographer page, or Oxford, Surrey and Hampshire video production.
FROM FIRST IDEA TO FINAL FILE
A clear route. From the start.
01
Set the goal
Tell us who will watch the film and what it should change; we write a short brief with the length, formats and any social, event-screen or internal versions.
02
Plan the day around the site
We agree security passes, inductions and restricted areas, and time the shoot around meetings, the event programme or opening hours – and, for a long trip, the M4 and M25 traffic.
03
Film with a small crew
A compact team records interviews and the activity around them without taking over the office, the venue or the visitor experience.
04
Edit, review and deliver
We edit with agreed music, captions and grading, make changes from two review rounds and deliver files for your website, presentations and social channels.
CLEAR RATES. A PROPER SCOPE.
Know the scope. Know the cost.
Build the production around what you actually need.
A single interview and a production across several locations call for different plans. A good Reading & Berkshire video production company should explain the filming, crew, editing, travel and specialist requirements before you book.
These are our current production rates. We explain how they apply to your brief, including the final versions and review stages included.
Do you offer video production in Reading and Berkshire?+
Yes. We film across Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, Ascot, Newbury, Thatcham, Maidenhead, Windsor, Slough and the surrounding villages. We travel from Great Cornard, Sudbury, and do not have a Berkshire office; send us the location and date and we will check availability and travel.
Have you filmed in Berkshire before?+
Yes. We made a promotional film and social content for the Wasing Estate's pumpkin patch and woodland trail near Aldermaston, West Berkshire, about 12 miles south-west of Reading and 10 miles east of Newbury. Our other nearby work is labelled: a customer film for Chrome Telecoms in Winchester, project updates for Root-Power in Caterham, Surrey, the Hampshire Business Show at the Ageas Bowl near Southampton and a music video for RIDI in a London studio.
How much does video production in Reading or Berkshire cost?+
Filming starts at £249 for the first on-location hour per operator and £99 for each additional hour per operator, and editing is £49 per hour. Your quote covers crew time, editing, travel and any specialist kit, and no VAT is currently added to our prices. As an example on our pricing page, Sentry's two 30-second promotional films were £1,800.
How is travel to Berkshire charged?+
We work out travel from CO10 0JA using driving routes. Reading is roughly 117 driving miles away, about two hours twenty minutes without traffic; Windsor is roughly 98 miles and Newbury roughly 136. All are beyond 25 miles, so there is no mileage charge; the estimated return driving time is charged at £49 per hour, rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. Parking and other location costs are agreed separately.
SHOW MORE QUESTIONSSHOW FEWER QUESTIONS
Can you film a visitor attraction or seasonal event?+
Yes. At the Wasing Estate near Aldermaston one videographer followed the visitor route from the wheelbarrows through the decorated woodland to the pumpkin field, filming real families without staging the day. We plan the route, the light and visitor numbers in advance so the film shows the whole experience.
Can you film a customer case study or testimonial?+
Yes. For Chrome Telecoms we filmed a lit interview with Gary Booth, director of Winchester Golf Academy, and footage of the reception, café, shop and driving range, then edited a case-study film for the website and social media. We can do the same at your customer's office, site or venue in Berkshire.
Can you film scripted updates or messages from our leadership team?+
Yes. For Root-Power at Tillingdown in Caterham we recorded two scripted pieces to camera with a teleprompter in a shoot of about two hours, with ground and aerial site footage. A teleprompter is a £99 add-on for standard equipment and setup.
Can you film our conference, exhibition or awards evening?+
Yes. We record the key moments – speeches, presentations, interviews and the room – and edit them into a highlights film and short clips. In 2019 we were the official videographers for the first Hampshire Business Show at the Ageas Bowl, filming speakers, exhibitors and interviews in one day.
Can you add drone footage?+
Yes, where the location, airspace and weather allow. In Berkshire, Heathrow's controlled airspace around Slough and Windsor and the restricted airspace over the Aldermaston and Burghfield sites affect what is possible, so we check restrictions and permissions before confirming aerial shots. Drone filming added to a production is £199 for the first allocated drone hour, then £49 per hour.
Do you also photograph in Reading and Berkshire?+
Yes – see our Reading & Berkshire photographer page. Photographs and video at the same time normally needs a photographer and a videographer, each at the standard operator rate.
