SOUND FAMILIAR?
Does this sound like your last video shoot?
You don't need us to tell you outsourcing video can go wrong — you've probably lived at least one of these already.
capacity
Struggle to pull a reliable crew together?
A different director, DOP, and editor for every job means every project starts from zero. You need one recurring team that already knows how you brief — not a fresh roll of the dice each time.
cost
Stung by "extra" costs when the last crew didn't get the brief right first time?
Vague scope, tight revision limits, and "small changes" that somehow double the invoice. Get the brief right from the start and there's nothing left to charge extra for.
control
Worried a production partner might go over your head to the client?
Some crews get a taste of the relationship and start angling for their own credit, or their own follow-on work. We respect the relationship between the client and your agency and will never overstep.
work with an established filmmaker
Why choose Front Row Video?
Plenty of crews can point a camera. Here's what changes when the person behind it also understands the story it needs to tell and the job it needs to do for your client.
At Front Row Video, you're always working directly with Director/DOP Leon Silavant who will head every shoot. Combining both roles keeps budget front and centre from the first conversation, and it scales cleanly, from a single quick turnaround to a full multi-day campaign shoot.
We're in this for a long-term relationship with your agency, not a one-off job. That means consistency, a shared understanding of how you brief, and support on whatever a client's campaign calls for next.
We do this through:
marketing
Marketing experience, not just camera operation
Every brief gets thought through in terms of audience, funnel stage, and what the video actually needs to achieve — not just how many minutes of footage it runs. That thinking happens in pre-production, not bolted on after the edit.
craft
A working cinematographer, not a corporate videographer.
Ten years behind the camera, split between commercially-commissioned work and freelance DOP work on film plus mentorship from a top British Society Of Cinematographer (BSC)'s member. The same eye applied to your brief as to a feature film set.
range
Proven across sectors that aren't all the same.
Charity, recruitment, home building, agriculture, engineering, music — the case studies span industries, but the process remains the same.
Whatever your client's sector, it's unlikely to be the first time we've shot one like it.
how we run a white-label shoot
Five steps. Your brief in, a finished film out.
In a nutshell, you send us the brief and we'll do the rest. We pride ourselves in making our client's lives as easy as possible on every project.
There are no hidden costs and everything is reviewed in detail
scene 1
Brief
You send the brief, brand guidelines, and any client-approved concept. We ask the questions that matter to production, not the ones that re-litigate the creative.
scene 2
Locations, casting, kit list, shot list, schedule. We handle the logistics that eat agency time and hand you a plan to sign off, not a list of problems.
scene 3
production
Director and DOP on set, crew scaled to the job. You can be there, client and all, or leave us to it — we're comfortable running a set solo or client-facing.
scene 4
post-production
Edit, grade, sound, delivered in your specified formats and ratios. Revision rounds built into the timeline, not billed as surprises.
scene 5
Brief
Final files land with you, white-labelled, ready to present as your agency's work. No watermarks, no footer credit, unless you want one.
proof, not promise
Case Study: A Top Gear-style branded film, built for an agricultural trade show, shot to stand out.
Presenter-led, comedy-driven mockumentary produced end-to-end with a client marketing lead and an external presenter and implemented into a strong detailed campaign with a winning workflow.
"I think part of what is key is really working with someone that understands that whole storytelling piece — it's not just shooting video for the sake of it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you."
Sarah, Head of Marketing, De Sangosse uk
