A customer story, a working process, an event or a campaign that needs to feel real.
We’re a video production company for Thetford and Diss – Thetford’s industrial estates and town centre, Brandon and the forest, East Harling, Attleborough and Watton, and Diss, Harleston, Scole and Eye along the Waveney valley – making business, training, agricultural, community and event films for manufacturers, food producers, farms, estates, schools and charities. We travel from our Suffolk base and plan each shoot around the site, the season and where the film will be seen.
We haven’t yet published a project filmed in Thetford or Diss. The work below was filmed nearby – at Barton Bendish in west Norfolk, in Brockley near Bury St Edmunds, in Stowmarket and on working Norfolk farms – and each project is labelled with where it was filmed.
A village hall in west Norfolk, a property near Bury St Edmunds and a summer camp in Stowmarket, each about 20 miles from Thetford or Diss. None of these was filmed in Thetford or Diss; each is labelled with where it was made.
BARTON BENDISH, WEST NORFOLK / THE PRINCE’S COUNTRYSIDE FUND
A village hall, told through its people.
About 20 miles north-west of Thetford, The Prince’s Countryside Fund (now The Royal Countryside Fund) asked us to show why a modest rural building matters. We filmed the hall’s pop-up café – lunch, tea, cake and conversation – and the work in the kitchen behind it.
The charity received a three-minute main film, five short supporting edits and a gallery of stills taken from the footage – the kind of film a Breckland or Waveney valley community group, charity or estate can use for years.
For Edd Callegari we made a presenter-led film, photographs and drone views of Vancouver in Brockley, about 20 miles south of Thetford – the format that suits estates, venues and rural properties.
At the Hive Kids summer camp in Stowmarket, about 18 miles south of Diss, we filmed activities and took staff headshots and activity photographs while the camp carried on around us.
Choose the purpose first. We can shape the coverage, crew and final formats around your audience, locations and timetable.
01
Business & manufacturing films
Company, recruitment and product films for manufacturers, food producers and distribution firms on Thetford's industrial estates and along the A11, filmed within your site and hygiene rules and with clean interview sound on noisy shop floors.
Farms, growers and estates across Breckland and the Waveney valley, filmed on the ground and from the air – the approach we used across several working Norfolk farms for Sentry.
Village halls, community groups and charities told through the people involved – as at Barton Bendish Village Hall in west Norfolk, about 20 miles north-west of Thetford, for The Prince's Countryside Fund.
Presenter-led property tours, venue films and aerial views that show a place in its setting – the format we used for Edd Callegari at Vancouver in Brockley, near Bury St Edmunds, about 20 miles south of Thetford.
Conferences, launches, agricultural shows and community events recorded with speeches, interviews and atmosphere, edited into a highlights film and short clips for social media.
If you need a Thetford or Diss videographer, we travel from our base near Sudbury. We cover Thetford, Brandon, East Harling, Attleborough, Watton, Diss, Harleston, Scole, Eye and Wymondham, and the Breckland and Waveney valley villages in between.
Thetford is roughly 31 driving miles from our base, about 50 minutes, and Diss roughly 39 miles, a little over an hour. Travel beyond 25 miles is charged as driving time, and we agree access, inductions, PPE, parking and timings with you before the day – especially on factory floors, farms and near restricted airspace.
Manufacturers and distribution firms on Thetford's industrial estates, town-centre businesses, schools and attractions around the Thetford Forest and Brandon. Filming further south in west Suffolk? See our Bury St Edmunds page.
Offices, shops, care providers, farms and venues on both sides of the Norfolk–Suffolk border, from Diss and Scole to Harleston and Eye. Filming further into mid Suffolk? See our Stowmarket page.

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 or exhibition versions.
02
Fit the shoot to the site and season
We agree inductions, PPE and restricted areas, and time the day around shifts, harvest, opening hours or the event programme.
03
Film with a small crew
A compact team records interviews and the work around them, keeping clear of machinery, livestock, visitors and customers.
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 Thetford & Diss 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 Thetford and Diss?+
Yes. We film across Thetford, Brandon, East Harling, Attleborough, Watton, Diss, Harleston, Eye, Scole and Wymondham. We travel from Great Cornard, Sudbury, under an hour from Thetford; send us the location and date and we will check availability.
Have you filmed near Thetford or Diss before?+
We have not published a Thetford or Diss project yet, so we label our nearest work honestly: Barton Bendish Village Hall in west Norfolk, about 20 miles north-west of Thetford; a property film at Vancouver in Brockley, near Bury St Edmunds, about 20 miles south; the Hive Kids summer camp in Stowmarket, about 18 miles south of Diss; films across several working Norfolk farms for Sentry; and a one-day Sustainable Agriculture Bursary film in Norfolk.
How much does video production in Thetford or Diss 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.

How is travel to Thetford and Diss charged?+
We work out travel from CO10 0JA using driving routes. Thetford is roughly 31 driving miles away, about 50 minutes, and Diss roughly 39 miles, a little over an hour.

Parking and other location costs are agreed separately.
SHOW MORE QUESTIONSSHOW FEWER QUESTIONS
Can you film on farms and rural estates?+
Yes. For Sentry we filmed machinery, crops and people across several working Norfolk farms, on the ground and with a drone, and edited two exhibition films with one consistent look. We plan the route between sites in advance and time the day around the work and the weather.
Can you film in factories and food production sites?+
Yes. We complete inductions, follow your PPE and hygiene rules and agree what must stay out of shot, such as confidential processes or customer branding. We use microphones that keep interviews clear on a noisy shop floor and plan shots so production keeps running.
Can you make a film about a village hall, charity or community project?+
Yes. At Barton Bendish Village Hall in west Norfolk we filmed the pop-up café for The Prince's Countryside Fund, now The Royal Countryside Fund, and delivered a three-minute main film, five short edits and a gallery of 152 stills taken from the videos.
Can you add drone footage?+
Yes, where the location, airspace and weather allow. Around Thetford, the restricted airspace of RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall and the Stanford Training Area all 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.
Can you film our event, show or conference?+
Yes. We record the key moments – speeches, presentations, interviews and the crowd – and edit them into a highlights film and short clips. For the Sustainable Agriculture Bursary in Norfolk we spent one day filming guest speakers, interviews and an agricultural visit for The Prince's Countryside Fund and Jordans Cereals.
Do you also photograph in Thetford and Diss?+
Yes – see our Thetford & Diss photographer page. Photographs and video at the same time normally needs a photographer and a videographer, each at the standard operator rate.
