Good how to video production turns a question your team answers every week into a video people find on their own.

We write, shoot or animate and edit the whole thing, from a door entry panel to a software workflow. Every video is captioned for sound off.

Under 3 minutesCustomers see each step in order and get it right first time.
Scripted with your expertEvery step is checked, so the video is right before we shoot.
One question, one videoEach guide answers a single job your team is asked weekly.
The work

How-to videos we’ve made.

Animated how-to videos

Animate what you can’t shoot.

Some steps are hidden, dangerous or still being built. Animation shows a manifold, a pipe connection or a software screen clearly, from any angle.

It is how we made PowerLoad’s connection and refill cart training videos.

  • Pipework and connections made clear
  • Software screens walked through
  • Safe for hazardous processes
  • Easy to update later

Shot on location

Real kit, real place, real steps.

When the job is physical, we shoot it where it happens. Close ups of hands, connectors and controls, with clear voiceover or on screen text.

We shot the Urmet door entry demo at Chelmer Waterside and the Assured Heating installs on the tools.

  • Close ups of every action
  • Voiceover or on screen text
  • Shot on site with your people
  • Vertical cut downs for social

Questions

Before you book.

The things people ask us first.

What is a how to video?

A how to video shows someone, step by step, how to complete one task, such as using a product, installing a part or finishing a form. Ours are 1 to 3 minutes and cover a single job.

How much does a how to video cost?

Projects start from £750. You get a fixed quote before we start, based on length, shoot days and whether it is shot or animated.

How long should a how-to video be?

As short as the task allows. Most run 60 seconds to 3 minutes. Longer guides are split into chapters or a short series, so people can find the step they need.

Should a how-to video be shot or animated?

Shoot it when people need to see real hands on real kit. Animate it when the process is hidden, risky or software. See our software tutorial videos and animation work.

Can how-to videos reduce customer support queries?

Yes. Customers who can see the steps ask fewer questions, and 57% of video marketers say video has helped them reduce support queries. Start with the 3 questions your team answers most, then add more.

Do you make how-to videos outside Essex?

Yes. We are based in Braintree, Essex, and shoot across the UK. Animated how-to videos can be made without leaving the studio. We also make training videos for staff.
