Promotional films · From £195

A proper promo video for your business — without the agency price tag

Professional voiceover, burned-in captions, licensed music and real footage of your business — the kind of film UK agencies quote £1,500–£5,000 and six weeks for. Produced here in the Borders with modern AI-assisted tools, checked frame by frame by a human, and delivered in days from £195.

Not mock-ups — real client work

Watch a film we've made

Produced start-to-finish by Cheviot Web Studio. Press play — nothing loads until you do.

Cheviot Web Studio flagship film — our own brand film for the restaurant ordering app: real product footage on device mock-ups, a fully animated third act with recurring characters, voiceover and captions. 80 seconds.
What you get

Every film includes

Professional voiceover

A natural voice that suits your business — including proper local pronunciation. Hawick sounds like Hoyk, not "Hay-wick".

Captions burned in

Most people watch with the sound off. Every word of the voiceover appears on screen, synced and readable on a phone.

Licensed music

A music bed made for your film — no copyright strikes, no muted uploads, safe to run as a paid ad.

Your real business on screen

Your website, menu, products and prices shown as genuine footage — never redrawn, never approximated.

Scenes no crew could film

Animated sequences — your kitchen at work, a delivery at the door — produced with modern AI tools and directed shot by shot.

Checked frame by frame

Correct signage, correct spelling, no stray logos, no gibberish text. Two revision rounds included — small tweaks usually same-day.

How it works

From first message to finished film in days

1 · Tell me the story

A short call or WhatsApp chat: what you do, who it's for, what you want the viewer to do next. I write the script and send it for your sign-off.

2 · Production

Real footage of your site and products is captured pixel-perfect; animated scenes are generated and directed shot by shot; voiceover, music and captions go on.

3 · Review & delivery

You watch it, I fix what you'd like changed — two rounds included, small tweaks usually same-day — and you get the final file, yours outright.

Straight answers

Fair questions, honest answers

What does a promo video from an agency normally cost?

UK agencies typically charge £1,500–£5,000 for a 60-second promotional video, and £3,000–£10,000+ where custom animation is involved — with a standard six-to-eight-week turnaround. Our films start at £195 and are usually delivered within days.

How can the price be so much lower?

The films are produced with modern AI-assisted tools for scene generation, voiceover and editing — directed and quality-checked shot by shot by a human. There's no film crew, studio hire or six-week pipeline to pay for, and that saving is passed straight on. We're open about how they're made; the two examples above are exactly what you get.

Will my video look like AI slop?

No — and this is the part we're strict about. Anything real (your website, menu, products, prices) is shown as genuine untouched footage, never redrawn. Generated scenes are used where a film crew would otherwise be needed, and every frame is reviewed before delivery: correct signage, correct spelling, no third-party logos, no gibberish text.

How many revisions do I get?

Two revision rounds are included with every film. Small changes — a different name in the voiceover, a corrected pronunciation, a swapped price — are typically turned around the same day.

Who owns the finished video?

You do, outright. Facebook, Instagram, your website, the shop window, paid ads — anywhere, forever, no licence fees.

Can you make one for my type of business?

Almost certainly. Restaurants and takeaways are a speciality (the ordering-app film above is a real client production), but the same approach works for trades, salons, shops and professional services. If I don't think video is the right spend for you, I'll say so.
