About this genre

The promise

A documentary, not a corporate video: real people, a clear story, a film people finish.

Frame from the École de Battersea school brand film directed by Etienne Morax.
In practice
École de Battersea · School brand film, six social cuts and team portraits from one day

Real people, real places, one storyline.

A brand documentary works because it does not look staged. Your people speak in their own words, in the rooms where the work happens, and the edit gives them a beginning, a middle and an end. The same day of filming yields the hero film, short cuts for LinkedIn and Instagram, captioned versions for silent autoplay and stills for the press kit.

Typical briefs: a client case film your sales team can send after a meeting, a culture film for recruitment, the story behind a launch, a site or team portrait for an anniversary or an annual report.

Best fit for

Client case films

Your client explains the problem and the result on camera. Proof your sales and partnership teams can send after every first meeting.

Culture and employer-brand films

The team, the place and how work actually gets done, filmed so candidates recognise a real company rather than a stock-footage one.

Launch and behind-the-scenes stories

The making of a product, a showroom or an event, cut as a short documentary and a series of social episodes.

Leadership and anniversary films

Founders and leaders in their own words, for town halls, investor updates, anniversaries and annual reports.

How it runs
Woolly Mammoth · Spaces campaign film · now the first thing the team sends to every client

Brief, interviews, filming, edit: one director throughout.

It starts with a short call to agree the story, who speaks and where the film will run. Etienne writes the interview questions and a shot plan, then films on location with a light crew that does not disrupt the office.

Edit, colour, sound mix, subtitles and every export (16:9 master, vertical and square cuts, captioned versions) sit with the same director and inside the same fixed quote. Typical timeline: two to six weeks from brief to final files.

“We wanted something that felt like our school: warm, personal, bilingual, not a generic promo. Morax spent a day with us and came back with a film, six social videos and portraits for the whole team. We have been using them across everything since.”

Frequently asked before booking

What is a brand documentary, compared with a corporate video?

A brand documentary tells a true story with real people, in their own words and their own places, edited like a short film. A corporate video usually lists messages over stock-style footage. The documentary approach is more credible, gets watched to the end, and keeps working on LinkedIn, your website and in sales conversations.

How much does a company film cost in London?

Each film is quoted as a fixed price once the brief is clear: number of filming days, locations, interviews and the formats you need. Send the brief and Etienne replies within 24 hours with a plan and a fixed quote, with no day-rate surprises afterwards.

How long does it take?

Typically two to six weeks from brief to final files, depending on the number of filming days and interviews. The schedule is set out in the quote, so you know the delivery date before you commit.

Do you write the story and the interview questions?

Yes. Etienne agrees the angle with you, writes the questions, directs the interviews and edits the film himself, so the story you approved at the start is the one that ends up on screen.

Can you film outside London?

Yes. Most films are shot in London, but filming at your sites elsewhere in the UK or abroad is possible; travel is set out in the quote.

Do we get social cuts and subtitles?

Yes. Social cuts in vertical and square formats and captioned versions for silent autoplay are planned from the brief, so the film is ready for LinkedIn, Instagram and your website on delivery.
