All inclusive Video Production
An idea
Every great film starts with a spark, whether it’s your idea or one we help you create. At Tidal Film, pre-production is where your story begins to take shape. Whether it’s a brand film, documentary, or social campaign, that initial spark becomes the foundation of something powerful. We take the time to understand your organisation, your goals, and the audience you want to reach. Collaboration sits at the heart of our video production process, from concept development and scripting to storyboarding, casting, and scheduling. We’re here to guide, listen, and create with you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth and inspired start to your production journey.
Production
This is where your story comes to life. During production, our experienced crew captures the energy, emotion, and authenticity that define your story. Whether you’re creating a brand film, documentary, or social media video, we handle every detail, from camera operation and lighting to sound recording and directing. We believe great filmmaking should feel effortless. Our shoots are relaxed and collaborative, helping you and your team feel at ease while we bring your ideas to life with creativity, precision, and purpose. Every shot is crafted to make your video production as engaging as it is beautiful.
Post-Production
Where everything comes together and the story truly comes alive. Post-production is where tone, rhythm and emotion take shape, turning raw footage into something powerful. Our in-house team handles every detail, from editing and sound design to colour grading, motion graphics, and audio mixing. We keep collaboration at the heart of the process, sharing progress and shaping each cut with care. The result is a polished, professional video production that’s ready for broadcast, online, or social platforms. A film that feels authentic, refined, and true to your story.

The team are brilliant. They are creative and so easy to work with. They find solutions to problems and ill thought out filming areas (Science Museum flashback!). They turn things around really quickly, are very high quality, provide creative input and are really cost competitive. They are also adept at working with people at all levels and making even the most nervous interviewee feel comfortable
