Good video starts with clear expectations. These questions cover the practical things clients often want to know before starting a project, from cost and timelines to planning, filming, editing and final delivery.
1. What video production services do you offer?
Reverie Films creates story-led video content for businesses, charities, schools, agencies and organisations. Our services include corporate video production, promotional videos, event videography, social media content, documentary-style films and branded content. We can help shape the idea, plan the shoot, film the project, edit the final piece and prepare the video for the places it needs to be seen.
2. How much does a video project cost?
The cost of a video project depends on the scope of the work, the number of filming days, the size of the crew, the amount of editing required and how many final assets you need. A short promotional video will usually have a different budget from a multi-day corporate film, event video or documentary-style project. Once we understand what you need, we can provide a clear quote based on your goals, timeline and budget.
3. How do I get a quote?
The easiest way to get a quote is to fill out our contact form and tell us a little about your project. You do not need to have everything figured out. We will usually start with a quick conversation to understand what you want the video to achieve, where it will be used, who it needs to reach and what kind of support you need. From there, we can create a tailored proposal.
4. How long does a video project take?
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A straightforward corporate video or promotional film may take a few weeks from planning to delivery, while larger campaigns, documentary-style films or projects with multiple filming days can take longer. We will agree a realistic timeline before the project begins, so you know what to expect at every stage.
5. Do I need to have a finished idea before getting in touch?
No. Many clients come to us with a rough idea, a problem to solve or a goal they want to achieve. We can help shape that into the right video format. Whether you know exactly what you need or are still working it out, we will guide you through the options and help you choose the approach that makes the most sense.
6. Can you help with scripting and planning?
Yes. We can help with creative development, scripting, interview questions, shot lists, story structure and planning before filming begins. Pre-production is an important part of the process because it gives the shoot a clear direction and helps make sure the finished video has the right message, tone and purpose.
7. What is the process for working with you?
Our process usually starts with a conversation about your goals, audience, message and timeline. From there, we shape the idea, plan the production, film the project, edit the footage and deliver the final video assets. You can learn more about each stage on our video production process page.
8. Who do you work with?
We work with businesses, charities, schools, agencies, artists, organisations and individuals. Some projects are small and focused, while others involve larger campaigns or multiple video assets. The approach is always shaped around the needs of the project, the people involved and the audience the video needs to reach.
9. Do you film outside Glasgow?
Yes. Reverie Films is based in Glasgow, but we work with clients across Scotland and the wider UK. We regularly travel for filming, whether the project is based in Glasgow, Edinburgh, elsewhere in Scotland or further afield. If your project involves multiple locations, we can plan the filming schedule around that.
10. Can you create social media videos or shorter edits?
Yes. We can create short-form video content for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, websites, email campaigns and paid ads. This can include social media cut-downs from a larger shoot, campaign clips, talking-head videos, behind-the-scenes content or platform-specific edits designed to get attention quickly.
11. Can you help with interviews?
Yes. Interviews are a key part of many corporate videos, documentaries, case studies, testimonials and branded films. We can help shape the questions, make contributors feel comfortable on camera and film interviews in a way that feels natural, clear and human. The aim is always to capture honest, useful material that supports the story.
12. Can I request revisions?
Yes. Feedback is part of the editing process. Once the first edit is ready, you will have the opportunity to review the video and request changes. We will make sure the final film feels aligned with your message, tone and goals before it is delivered.
13. Can you help with video distribution?
Yes. While our main role is video production, we can prepare your video for the places it needs to be used. That might include your website, social media, YouTube, presentations, events, email campaigns or paid advertising. We can also create different versions, formats and lengths so the final content works across multiple platforms.
14. What happens if I need a video quickly?
If you have a tight deadline, let us know as early as possible. We will be honest about what is achievable within the timeframe and whether the project can be planned, filmed and edited in time. For urgent projects, we can sometimes adjust the scope or create a more focused version first, with additional edits delivered later.
15. How do I start a project with Reverie Films?
Start by getting in touch and telling us what you are planning. You can share as much or as little detail as you have. We will help you clarify the idea, choose the right format and work out the next steps.
