VIDEO PRODUCTION RICHMOND UPON THAMES
Business video production across Richmond.
Interviews, case studies, company films, training, events and social content across Richmond upon Thames.
Most shoots take place at the client’s office, school, hotel, venue or site, with the crew and equipment built around the job rather than a fixed production package.
FILMING IN RICHMOND
PLAN THE SHOOT PROPERLY
CORPORATE VIDEO, INTERVIEWS & EVENTS
Start with what the film needs to do, then build the shoot around that
The useful question is not how much kit can be brought. It is what viewers need to understand, who needs to be interviewed and what footage makes the story believable. The cameras, lighting and crew follow from that.
Public locations need more notice. If filming moves onto streets, Richmond Green or other borough-controlled locations, commercial filming may need an application through FilmRichmond. The source page notes current guidance of at least two weeks, with longer lead times where parking or traffic restrictions are involved.
Keep contributors filming, not waiting around. Prepare the room, cameras, lighting and sound first, then bring senior staff and customers in at agreed times.
The prettiest room is not always the best room. Windows, hard walls, air conditioning, traffic, depth and controllable light all affect interview quality.
Use Richmond as context, not decoration. Richmond Green, the riverside and recognisable streets are useful when the place is genuinely part of the story, not simply to prove where the film was made.
ONE BOROUGH, VERY DIFFERENT FILMING LOCATIONS
A boardroom, school, hotel and event venue are four different production jobs
The room, people and available time shape the setup. The production effort goes into what viewers actually notice: the interview, sound, lighting and footage that supports what is being said.
01
Interviews without losing half the day
Prepare the room first, then bring contributors in when the cameras are ready. One good setup can cover several people without rebuilding the shoot repeatedly.
02
B-roll that actually adds information
Look for the work, people, products, property or processes that make the interview more useful to watch, rather than collecting random office shots.
03
Full talks and shorter event films
A conference can produce complete presentations, highlights and social clips from the same coverage when those outputs are agreed before the event.
04
Filming support for agencies
If the creative and edit are already covered, book camera, lighting and sound and take away clearly organised raw footage afterwards.
One filming day can produce more than one useful film
If the outputs are agreed beforehand, an interview-led day can also provide shorter edits, social clips, clean B-roll, still frames and footage for future use.
That works best when the intended formats are known before filming rather than trying to rescue alternative crops afterwards.

VIDEO PRODUCTION RICHMOND FAQ
Questions about filming in Richmond upon Thames
Costs, offices, public-location permissions, multiple interviews, conferences, raw footage and wider London coverage.
How much does video production in Richmond cost?
There is no separate Richmond price list. Cost comes down to filming time, crew, equipment, editing and the number of finished versions you need. A focused interview or case-study day can stay relatively compact; an event, several locations or a larger content package may need more people and more post-production.
Can you film in our Richmond office?
Yes. Most corporate interviews are filmed at the client’s own premises. We can work in boardrooms, offices, meeting rooms and other occupied spaces, and we will tell you what sort of room is likely to work before the shoot if you send photographs or a quick phone video.
Do I need permission to film in Richmond?
Usually not if the entire shoot is taking place inside private premises with the owner’s permission. Commercial filming on streets or other borough-controlled locations can be different, so we check the current FilmRichmond requirements when public space forms part of the brief.
Can we film several interviews in one day?
Yes, and it is often the most efficient way to work. Once the interview setup is ready, contributors can come in one after another while separate blocks of time are kept for workplace footage, demonstrations and other supporting shots.
Can you film conferences and presentations?
Yes. We can record individual talks, panels and complete sessions with one or several cameras, and provide anything from full-length recordings to a short event film, social clips or a live stream.
Can you supply the raw footage?
Yes. If your agency or internal team is editing, we can supply the camera originals and separately recorded audio in an agreed folder structure rather than building an unnecessary edit into the quote.
Do you cover the rest of South West London?
Yes. We also film in Kingston upon Thames, Wimbledon, Putney, Wandsworth, Sutton and surrounding areas. See video production across South West London.
Do you work elsewhere in London?
Yes. For shoots elsewhere in the capital, see our main London video production page.
SOCIAL VIDEO IN 2026
Need vertical clips? Plan for them before filming
A landscape corporate film can be cropped for a phone afterwards, but that is not the same as shooting with vertical delivery in mind. If Reels, TikTok, Shorts or mobile ads are part of the brief, extra room around faces, graphics and action makes the alternative crops work properly.
One filming day can then produce a 16:9 master for websites and YouTube, 9:16 vertical versions for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and 4:5 portrait edits where a taller feed format is useful.

Tell us where, who is on camera and what you need delivered
Send the Richmond postcode, preferred date, who needs to appear and where the finished video will be used. From that we can usually judge the sensible crew size, how long filming is likely to take and whether public-location permission needs dealing with beforehand.
