Video Production in Prague

Video production in Prague is our home turf. The people who dream up the idea are the ones who deliver the finished file, so nothing gets lost between a strategist, a crew and an editor who have never met. We take it from the first conversation to the last export, whether you need one clip or a week of shooting.

From€400per project

  • 1 dayof shooting fills a whole month
  • 3 formatsvertical, horizontal and square
  • 2 roundsof edit feedback included
  • 3-4 wksfrom script to a finished promo video

You get a promo video with a job to do: sell a product, introduce the company or fill your social feeds for a month ahead. We ask first what should happen after someone watches it, and the script and the length follow from that answer.

Script, shoot day, edit, color and sound are all done in-house, so you talk directly to the people who will hold the camera.

Every service in this category, explained

  • Video shoots

    An ad spot that sells.

    In short Ad spots for TV, cinema, web and social, from concept through delivery, in any format and aspect ratio the media plan calls for. The same crew also shoots product video, packshots to lifestyle scenes for the product page and trade shows, and corporate video: company films and recruitment videos with real people, no corporate stiffness. Built to sell, and styled well enough that it never looks cheap.

    How we workWe build the spot around one idea and one reason to buy. We decide where it will run right from the start, and shooting and editing follow from that. The same shoot covers product video, clean footage plus in-use scenes color matched to your catalog, and corporate video, with speakers coached beforehand. Music and licensing get sorted early.

    What you getA finished spot plus the full set of versions: longer for the web, shorter for pre-roll, vertical for social, with captions and a version built to work with the sound off. Product video comes cut to the right ratios with a still-worthy thumbnail, and corporate video arrives as a full film plus short cutdowns, with extra footage kept as a separate set. It comes with a no-limit music license, and an agreed way to check whether it worked.

    What's included

    • Built on one idea
    • Cuts for web, social and pre-roll
    • Music, licensed and cleared
    • We agree upfront how we'll measure it

    Interviews

    Interviews led and filmed so they cut well.

    In short Executives, customers, experts: lit, framed and directed so they sound like themselves, only clearer. We prepare questions built to get answers worth cutting to.

    How we workWe prepare questions ahead of time and phrase them so each answer makes sense on its own, with the question edited out. We shoot on two cameras and keep a close eye on light, sound and background. One session gets cut into both a longer interview and a handful of short clips.

    What you getAn edited interview plus several short clips for social, captioned and cut to the aspect ratios you need. You also get a transcript, so you can pull quotes for copy and the website.

    What's included

    • Answers that make sense alone
    • Two cameras for a tighter edit
    • Light and sound come first
    • A full cut plus short clips

    Event video

    Conference and company event footage you can actually use.

    In short Conferences, launches, festivals: we cover them on multiple cameras and cut the footage into aftermovies and highlight clips while the topic is still fresh.

    How we workWe agree in advance on what the final deliverable needs to be, because that changes how we shoot the whole event. We film on multiple cameras and take audio straight from the mixing desk or wireless mics. The short cutdown goes out first, with longer deliverables following after.

    What you getA short event recap ready to use right away, recordings of the individual talks with clear audio, and clips for social. We sort the material by program block, so any specific talk is easy to find again later.

    What's included

    • What you get, agreed beforehand
    • Several cameras, audio from the mix
    • A short cut out right after
    • Photo and video, one crew, one day

    Video editing

    Rhythm, music and shot order that make the film.

    In short The film actually comes together in the edit: rhythm, story, music, pacing, and the color grading that ties it all to one look. We cut our own footage and rescue other people's too. Send us the drive, whatever's on it, we've seen worse.

    How we workWe work in passes: a rough cut for structure first, then the details after. Feedback gets tied to a specific timestamp, so discussions stay concrete instead of vague. Color grading comes last: we match footage from different cameras for consistent skin tones, then grade to a look drawn from your brand. We cut our own footage as well as material shot by someone else.

    What you getA finished, color-graded video with captions and graphics, in formats for every place it runs, plus the source files, the project, and a color preset so future videos match. Where it makes sense, a shorter cutdown for social from the same material. If footage came in shot poorly, you get a straight answer on what can be saved.

    What's included

    • Structure first, details after
    • We cut footage shot by others too
    • Color-graded, captioned, every format
    • You keep the project file

    Effects & AI video

    Cleanup, titles and graphics, AI for shots you can't film.

    In short Effects that can be done in the edit: removing a distracting object from the frame, cleanup, titles and graphics over video, compositing, and stabilizing shaky footage. AI video fills the gap where a shoot would be impossible or absurdly expensive. Full 3D and CGI films, complex simulation and scenes with digital doubles of people stay outside this service.

    How we workWe start with what the edit suite can already do. Where filming would cost too much or is physically impossible, we generate the missing shots with AI. Only what cannot be filmed gets generated, and the result is composited into the rest of the video.

    What you getA cleaned-up, stabilized shot with titles and graphics, plus AI-generated scenes for anything too expensive or impossible to film. Full 3D, CGI, or scenes with digital doubles of people fall outside this service.

    What's included

    • Object removal and cleanup
    • Titles and graphics over footage
    • AI fills shots you can't film
    • No CGI, no digital doubles

    What's in the box

    You do not order these separately: they are in every job, and they are ours to do.

    Video concept

    Before anyone touches a camera, we answer the real questions: what's this video for, who's watching, where, and what should they do afterward? The idea and format follow a measurable goal. A vague “it would be nice to have a video” isn't enough to start from.

    Before anyone touches a camera, we figure out who's watching, where they'll see it, and what they should do once it ends. That decides the format, the length, and how many cutdowns come out of a single shoot. We put forward a few directions and tell you upfront what each one costs to produce.

    OutputA written concept covering the goal, audience, format, length and placement, plus a cutdown plan for one shoot day. It comes with a production scope estimate, so you know exactly what you're committing to before we book the crew.

    • Length and format chosen for placement
    • Several directions to pick from
    • A cutdown plan for one shoot
    • We'll say if video isn't the fix

    Video Scriptwriting

    We write scripts for the ear and the clock, so every second earns its place. Voiceover, dialogue and interview questions are structured so the story holds together before a single frame is shot.

    The script starts as a conversation with you about what's actually worth saying. We write for the ear and the clock, reading the text aloud and timing it as we go. For interviews, we prepare questions built to draw out answers that cut together on their own.

    OutputA script with timing and visual notes, written so it can be read aloud as is. For interviews, a set of questions in the order they'll be asked, with notes for the speaker on what needs to come through.

    • Written to be heard and timed
    • Based on a conversation with you
    • Timing notes and visual cues
    • Questions designed to get usable answers

    Video Storyboarding

    The film drawn on paper before the first light goes on: the frames, their order, camera moves, locations and props. A change here costs minutes; on set it costs the hours of a whole crew. You review the film and give notes before anyone pays for it.

    We break the script into individual shots and map out the order, camera moves, locations and props. Then we check whether what's written actually fits into one shoot day, and solve anything that doesn't on paper first. You review and comment on the storyboard before a single euro goes toward filming.

    OutputThe film sketched out shot by shot, with notes on camera movement, locations and props. On set, we check off each shot against it, so nothing gets forgotten.

    • Every shot, move and prop
    • Confirms it all fits one day
    • A checklist for the shoot
    • Feedback in before the crew's paid

    Shoot planning

    Locations, permits, crew, gear, weather backup, call sheets: the unglamorous logistics that decide whether a shoot day gives you eight usable hours or three.

    We build a schedule from gear arrival to wrap, and staff it with crew and equipment based on what the script actually needs. Locations and permits get sorted ahead of time, with a backup plan ready for outdoor shots. We handle the paperwork, talent releases and the rules for shooting on other people's property, before a single light goes on.

    OutputCall sheets for the shoot day with times, locations and roles, a list of gear and crew, confirmed locations and permits, and signed talent releases. Plus a named contact for each part of the day, so nobody has to guess who's in charge on set.

    • Locations, permits, crew, gear
    • Call sheets with everyone's times
    • A backup plan if weather turns
    • Talent releases sorted

    Sound Design

    What the audience feels but never consciously notices: clean dialogue, foley, atmosphere, music mixed to loudness standards. Bad sound is the fastest way to make great footage feel amateur.

    We clean up the dialogue, add foley and atmosphere, select or compose music, and mix everything to the loudness standard each platform requires. Music licensing gets sorted before the video ever goes out. We check the mix on headphones and on a phone speaker too.

    OutputA finished audio track mixed to target loudness, with licensing cleared, so the video doesn't get blocked or demonetized on social platforms. Plus a version with no spoken dialogue, ready for other-language versions.

    • Clean dialogue, foley, atmosphere
    • Mixed to each platform's loudness standard
    • Music licensing sorted
    • A version ready for other-language cuts

    Captions & Subtitles

    Most social video plays with the sound off, so captions decide whether it communicates at all. Styled subtitles, versions in several languages, and delivery as SRT files or burned in, for every platform.

    We prepare a transcript, break it into readable lines and time it so viewers can actually finish reading each one before it's gone. Captions get styled to match your brand and placed so the player controls or platform UI never cover them. For language versions, we check that the translation matches the picture and the timing.

    OutputCaptions as a standalone file for YouTube and the web, plus burned-in versions for platforms that don't support attached caption files. Plus a text transcript of the video, ready to drop straight onto the page.

    • Timed so people can actually read
    • Standalone or burned in
    • Placed clear of the player controls
    • Language versions checked against picture

    Sound familiar?

    John Doefirst call
    1. We had a video made and it has sat on a drive for a year…

    2. The most common fate of a corporate video: a nice film nobody put anywhere, because nobody said where. Our brief starts from the place the video will play, and that decides the length, the format and whether one big video or twelve small ones makes sense. Explainer video production works the same way.

    3. I have no actors, no script and no idea, just a product 😅

    4. That is the normal starting point. The idea and the script are our job; the actors are mostly your own people or real customers, because they work better than a casting agency. From you we need two hours of time, the product and answers to ten questions in the brief.

    5. I'm afraid the price jumps once the cameras roll

    6. The budget is in the contract before the shoot day, including the number of days, the locations and two rounds of feedback. If halfway through you want a second location or a longer version, you get the price of that change upfront and the decision is yours.

    7. I need content for social every week, and one film a year is nowhere near enough

    8. One shoot day gives you material for a month: we shoot vertical and horizontal at once, cut it into a series of short subtitled clips and deliver to a schedule. A series of seven videos from a single camp is in our portfolio.

    A phone and stock footage, or a crew?

    Today's phone shoots a decent picture and stock libraries sell video for a few euros. An AI generated video is an afternoon of prompting away. For some purposes that is completely enough, and claiming otherwise would be dishonest. The only question is when it is enough and when it quietly hurts your sales.

    When a phone or stock will do

    • Stories and behind-the-scenes, where the rawness is part of the message
    • A quick reaction to events that has to be out today
    • An illustrative clip behind a presentation, where nobody cares who made it
    • A budget under €200, and you accept that your competitor will use the same stock clip

    When it comes back to bite you

    • Sound: a viewer forgives a weaker picture, and bad sound makes them leave within three seconds
    • Ads: stock footage of strangers in a stranger's office performs worse in the auction than your real product and your real team
    • Product: without lighting and macro, a product worth thousands looks like something from a market stall
    • Formats: one horizontal video never recuts itself into reels, ads and a hero loop

    From the brief to the finished video

    1. You have an idea

      Call and concept

      Half an hour on what the video has to achieve and where it will play, whether it's explainer video production or a corporate spot. Within three to five days you get a one-page concept and budget: format, length, number of shoot days, what the price covers and what it leaves out.

    2. You know what we film

      Script and contract

      A script or storyboard for approval, a fixed price and deadline in writing. Payment is in two stages 50/50: half up front, half on delivery. No shoot day starts without a signed scope.

    3. Everything is ready

      Pre-production

      Locations, people, props, an hour-by-hour plan for the day. You get a list of what we need from you; usually that is two hours of time and the product.

    4. Cameras roll

      Shoot day

      One or two days, 4K, our own lighting and sound, footage backed up on location. We shoot horizontal and vertical at the same time, so one day produces every format. Videography and direction are both ours, so nobody waits on a freelancer.

    5. The film takes shape

      Edit, color, sound

      A first cut within a week of the shoot. Two rounds of feedback are included, then color grading, sound mix, subtitles and licensed music.

    6. Your video is out

      Delivery in every format

      The main version plus cuts for the website, social media and ads, each in the size and weight its platform wants. We hand over the raw footage when the contract says so.

Shoot and edit come in one quote from one video creation company.

    A film crew that builds websites too

    Most studios do one thing. We do the whole story: concept, script, shoot, edit, color and sound, all under one roof. The people who invent the idea are the ones who deliver it. Nothing gets lost in translation between a strategist, a crew and an editor who've never met. Because we also build websites, the video and the page it lives on get made together, so they actually fit together. You get footage cut for every platform, sound mixed to standard, and content banked in batches, so feeding the algorithm doesn't eat your whole week.

    What people ask most

    How much does video production in Prague cost?

    A product video from €500, an interview or event recording from €400, a commercial from €800, a turnkey corporate film from €2,850. What pushes the price up is mainly extra shoot days, locations outside Prague, actors and motion graphics. Nothing is added on top, the price is final.

    How long does corporate video production take?

    A series of reels about a week from the shoot, a product video two to three weeks, a commercial four to six weeks from the brief. The deadline is part of the contract. Schedules most often slip while waiting for script approval, which is why we send the script first.

    How many rounds of feedback are included?

    Two. A round means one list of comments on one version. Notes trickling in one sentence at a time add up to another round. A change of script after the shoot is new work, and we say so upfront, before it shows up on the invoice.

    Do I get the raw footage?

    Yes, when we agree it in the contract. We hold no material hostage. As standard we hand over the finished versions; source files are an extra line item because of the volume and preparation.

    What about music and licenses?

    Licensed library music is included and covers the website, social media and ads. We can also compose a custom track; the audio side of our studio does it, and it is an extra line item.

    Do you shoot outside Prague?

    Yes, across the Czech Republic and the EU. Crew travel and accommodation appear in the budget as separate lines; nothing hides inside "overheads".

    Do you do sound and podcasts too?

    Sound is half of every video and all of every podcast. We record, edit, mix and master in-house, including repairing phone recordings. Podcasts have their own page in the audio section.

    Will you shoot a video for the website you are building?

    Yes, and it's the cheapest route to a living website. We plan the shoot day alongside the launch, so the hero loop, the team shots and the production footage all get shot in one day. The site launches with real content in place, no placeholder stock needed.
