Interviews | Turning an hour of conversation into three minutes that matter

These situations are a good fit

  • Company profiles: interviews with founders, managers or staff
  • Customer testimonials: real users speaking for themselves (no ghostwriting, no scripted lines)
  • Video versions of press interviews
  • Introductory films about craftspeople or creators
  • Recorded interviews with alumni or graduates
  • Organising oral history and family-record interviews

Common formats and lengths

  • 2–3 minutes: a highlights version for social media and the website
  • 5–8 minutes: a full portrait
  • 10 minutes and over: in-depth interviews or a series
  • Landscape 1920×1080; a vertical version is exported separately for social media
  • Subtitles are essential, particularly for interviews with technical terms or a strong accent

Please have these ready

The rules for materials are simple. Just follow whichever one of the options below matches what you have:

1. You already have footage

  • Upload the original files to Google Drive, then share the folder link with us
  • Please put the files in order first — name them in the order you want them to appear (01, 02, 03…). This step saves a great deal of back-and-forth and makes the quote more accurate
  • Please send the original files rather than sending them through a messaging app, which compresses them and costs you quality

2. You do not have footage yet

A simple script is enough. You only need to write down three things:

  • From which second to which second
  • What is on screen
  • What text appears

For example:

0–5 sec | Opening shot (for example an aerial of the setting, the entrance, the product itself) | Text: the brand or topic name
5–12 sec | Main content, camera pushing in slowly | Text: the one line you most want people to remember
12–20 sec | Closing shot | Text: contact details or a call to action

It does not need to be beautifully written, just clear. We will use that script to assess how feasible it is and what the scope of work would be.

For anything else, just ask on our official LINE.

How we work together

Every project is bespoke, so the process starts with “taking a look first”, not with a price.

Fill in the enquiry form

Tell us the video type, length, format and delivery date. It takes about a minute.

Send the material or a script

If you have footage, upload it to Google Drive and put it in order; if you do not, send a simple three-point script (from which second to which second / what is on screen / what text appears).

Assessment and quotation

We tell you what we found and how much improvement you can expect, and send a quote for you to decide on. If we judge that it cannot be handled, we will say so and explain why.

Production and delivery

We deliver a first cut on the agreed schedule, and export the finished film once the revisions are confirmed. Working days are counted from confirmation of payment.

Frequently asked questions

The sound is noisy — is it still usable?

In most cases it can be improved. Air conditioning, computer fans, background noise and room echo can all be treated; how much can actually be improved depends on hearing the file first. See audio noise repair.

We only filmed with one camera — will the cuts be obvious?

Jump cuts on a single camera are genuinely harder to handle. We soften them with B-roll, a slight scale-up or a measured transition, but it does not come out as natural as multi-camera. If you can add a second camera next time, the result will be much better.

Can it be made into a series?

Yes. For a series of interviews we suggest keeping the title sequence, typeface and grade consistent — it makes the series more recognisable to viewers and saves going over the same ground each time.

Do we need to supply a transcript?

Not necessarily, but one speeds things up and helps us pick out the points you want kept more accurately.

How long does it take?

A typical interview film takes about 7–12 working days, depending on the amount of footage and whether subtitles in more than one language are needed.
