Yoghurt Creative is based just outside of Colchester, Essex; and we provide services mainly to businesses in Essex, surrounding counties and London.

We have our very own office and studio space where we are happy to shoot client videos and photos independently . Our studio is suitable for smaller productions like product videos and interview-style videos as well as team headshot photography and product photography.

For bigger productions we may need to book a different studio space if you don’t have a suitable premises. We have lots of local, affordable studios we can provide information on.

We request a non-refundable 25% deposit to book in your video shoot with us. This is so we can secure a date in the calender for you and start all pre-production work.

Final payment is due on receipt of final edits. However for larger video projects we request payment after the first edit of all videos.

Content is made downloadable for the client on receipt of payment.

We specialise in short-form content as this is proven to be the most engaging and effective means for video content on social media. However we do create a video of any length, as some videos certainly will need to be longer; it all depends on the brief and goal for the video. We will always make suggestions to our clients on suitable lengths for their content from a marketing perspective.

We aim to get your first project edit to you within 10 working days.

We will send you a private link to view your video or photo content via Vimeo for videos or PixieSet for photos. Once you have signed off the content with us we will make the private link downloadable so you can save the content. We can give full support on how to download the content we send to you.

You can make up to three rounds of changes to your video content in the editing stage. We will submit a first edit to you based on everything discussed at the pre-production stage, and from there you can make three rounds of amendments to really refine your video!

We do offer monthly retainer services where you can receive fresh videos or photos from us every month.

We hold content planning meetings wherever you find most convenient; from your premises, our office, to a local coffee shop or via virtual meetings.

We have a relaxed conversation about your goals for the video and some initial ideas for the content and then provide insight into effective video marketing suggestions.

We will then use everything raised within the meeting to produce a plan for the content, inspiration, storyboards or moodboards and concepts backed by research into your business field and marketing goals.

We will then present our plans ahead of the shoot to ensure the client is happy.

Payment for our retainer services are due on a monthly basis. We will ask for a booking deposit of 50% of one months content, and this will then be deducted from your final months invoice.

Yoghurt Creative retains the copyright for the content we produce, however our clients are also given exclusive licensing rights to use the content for their own business use.

This means no third party will be given the files; and we will wait until the client has pushed their content live, before we use it for our marketing. We will also respect any requests for content to not be shared for our own marketing where neccessary.

We know it can be a little alien to talk in front of a camera, so our team will offer full support. We can help you plan and execute your video script or speech ideas; to clearly get your message and branding across to the audience. We will also help you freestyle speech, with nudges in the right direction, times to pause and recuperate and plenty of patience to allow you retry as many times as needed. We have some methods we can share to make this as easy as possible, and we are both friendly, chatty and relaxed so we will make you feel right at home.

There are real benefits to all video content and it’s beneficial to dabble with a few!

Every business is unique and every business has different goals they are trying to achieve, and so a consulation with us will help to highlight tailored ideas for beneficial content your business could be creating.

Check out our blog and Instagram for tips on why you should create particular videos.

We keep your files safe by storing them online for three years, so that should you lose your footage or decide to renew an edit in the future; we can assist you. We use Vimeo to store video content, and PixieSet to store photography; as well as on our own hard drives.
