Frequently Asked Questions

What video production services do you offer?

We can help with all aspects of your video or campaign production, from generating ideas and writing scripts to mixing audio and formatting your final delivery files. We can provide cost effective edit, design and animation services in-house and have a network of trusted freelancers we can call upon for larger projects which require video or photography shoots.

What kind of videos do you make?

We specialise in producing short form promotional campaigns, ‘sizzle’ reels, explainer and internal comms videos. Many of our projects involve editing pre-shot material or creating motion graphics and animation. We also have experience with many other forms of content creation, including organising and directing full scale TV ad campaigns and would be happy to discuss whatever it is you require.

How long will my video take to create?

Individual videos can take as little as a week to turn-around depending on the complexity and how busy we are. Projects that require us to carry out any filming usually take longer than those needing purely edit, design and/or animation. Campaigns can take several weeks or even months to complete. We can work quickly if needed, but for best results please aim to contact us at least a month before your video is required. Additional costs may apply for rush jobs.

How much will my video cost?

This will depend on the type and quantity of videos you require. We can tailor individual videos to suit most budgets, with prices starting from £995+VAT. Music, voice-over and stock footage fees can vary greatly depending on a number of factors so these may be at an additional cost. No two videos are the same though, so please get in touch to discuss your exact requirements so we can quote for your specific project.

How do you keep your prices so competitive?

We avoid some typical agency costs like renting office space and hiring a large team of permanent staff. Instead we work from home and draw on our network of trusted freelancers as and when projects require. We then pass the savings on to you. This way of working helps to make us highly competitive compared to more traditional agencies.

Are revisions included in the price?

We include up to three rounds of revisions in the price we quote. If additional changes are required after that, then reasonable additional fees will apply. This helps to keep our work-flow efficient and therefore our prices low.

What are design and animation templates?

We love bespoke design and animation and can certainly provide both if required, but starting from scratch takes time and can get expensive – putting it out of the reach of most smaller businesses. At Buska Video we can help you create that big budget look without breaking the bank. We sift through the thousands of design and animation templates released each year to find the absolute gems. We are then able to customise and edit these templates to suit your specific needs and brand style. Apart from the cost saving, we find this approach allows everyone involved to get a very clear idea of the end result at the very start of the process. It also allows clients to choose from a number of pre-existing options rather than having the pressure of starting from a blank page. Unlike some agencies, we are very honest and up front about our use of templates and you can be sure we’ll pass the savings they allow on to you.

Can we provide some elements of the creative ourselves?

Yes you can! We have a lot of experience with integrating pre-existing elements into our videos. Whether its footage or a voice-over you’ve already recorded, stills from a product shoot or even images from a Power Point presentation, we’ll be happy to use them. We’ll also advise on the quality of what you provide and let you know if any of it needs to be reworked or replaced.

Will we be able to discuss our project face to face?

Yes. We can arrange a Zoom call for you to discuss your project with our Creative Director, Martin Gent.

Will we fully own whatever materials you create?

We are careful to ensure that every element of your video is properly licensed for its intended use, whether it’s music, voice-over, stock footage or design and animation elements. Buska Video will not retain any ownership of the creative once it is delivered to you, and you will be free to use it for the purposes it has been licensed for. Copyright may however remain with the original creators of any pre-existing elements used as is normal for most creative projects.

What kind of music can we use in our video?

For most projects we source high quality, low cost, royalty-free music which comes with a simple license allowing it to be used in a single piece of creative or campaign, anywhere in the world, for as long as you want. If you wish to use a specific piece of commercial music then you’ll need to take responsibility for getting this properly licensed for your intended use first.

What if I have a question that isn't answered here?
