How we make films
Each kind of film follows its own method, you approve each step, and a person watches the finished film before it reaches you.
An advert is your customer’s problem, you, and one way to get in touch. A service film covers the signs someone needs the job, what happens on the day and how to book you. The founder story tells where you started, the moment you went on your own and the promise you make. You approve your cartoon, a script for each film and your voiceover, so the judgement calls stay with the person who knows the business best. A machine checks every line is spoken as written, and then a person watches the whole film. The music is made in-house for each film, so there’s no licence to worry about.
What we never put in your film
We never add facts of our own, anyone who hasn’t agreed to appear, or words drawn by a picture-making computer.
Your film says what you tell us, or what your own website says, and you confirm it before any script is written. So if you work round the clock, or you’ve won an award and can name it, the film can say so. We don’t check qualifications or memberships, so tell us only what’s true. What stays out is anything made up: no invented customers, quotes, reviews or numbers, and no boasting on your behalf.
Anyone else in your photos needs to have said yes, and children can’t appear at all. Your business name, phone number, rating and logo go on screen as exact text and your real logo, because computers that draw pictures still get letters and numbers wrong.
