What we do
Professional filming for schools & dance companies
Your show is months of rehearsals, costume stress, lighting cues and last-minute panic — and it deserves more than someone’s shaky phone from row Z.
We capture the full performance using a multi-camera setup (typically 3–4 cameras), with careful framing, smooth coverage of solos and groups, and a clean audio feed wherever possible. The result is a polished film that parents love, and a lasting record your school can be proud of.
- School plays, drama productions, end-of-year shows
- Dance shows, theatre school showcases, competitions
- Nursery & primary nativities (with a child-safe, minimal-footprint approach)
- Stage performances, concerts and special events
Safeguarding-friendly, reliable and experienced
We understand working in schools: safeguarding matters, timetables matter, and calm professionals matter. Our crew are DBS checked, used to school environments, and work discreetly so the show remains the star.
- DBS checked filming team
- Public liability / risk-aware working (and we can align with your venue policies)
- Clear comms with staff, tech team and front-of-house
- Low-profile setup that doesn’t distract performers
Want to keep audience filming under control? We can provide a simple “filming notice” for programmes/emails so parents understand the official film is coming.
Pricing models (choose what suits your school)
1) Service Fee (one fixed cost)
A simple, predictable option. You pay a fixed filming fee based on show length and receive the completed digital master file to distribute however you wish.
- Up to 60 mins: from £550
- Up to 90 mins: from £710
- Up to 120 mins: from £820
Travel outside the included radius may apply — use the estimator below for a guide.
2) School Collect (you fundraise)
Your school/dance company collects orders and payment from parents, then places one bulk order with us. This gives the lowest per-copy cost and can be a great fundraiser.
- Minimum 100 orders: from £14 per copy
- Minimum 50 orders: from £16 per copy
- Minimum 30 orders: from £18 per copy
Optional USB copies can be added (the estimator includes this as a toggle).
3) Parent Pay (we handle the sales)
This is the lowest-admin option. We set up a simple ordering page and parents purchase directly from us. We deliver digital streaming + downloads. We strongly encourage pre-orders because they drive higher sales, help cover production properly, and make the whole process smoother for everyone.
Pre-order pricing: £18 • After-show pricing: £23

How it works
1) Book your date
Send the venue, show times and your preferred pricing model. If you have two performances (matinee/evening), we’ll recommend the best approach for sales and admin.
2) We film (discreet, multi-cam)
We set up early, work with your tech team, capture clean audio where possible, and film the performance with minimal disruption.
3) Edit + polish
We cut between angles, balance audio, and deliver a professional full show film. Optional highlight clips can be added too.
4) Deliver (and sell, if Parent Pay)
For Parent Pay: we host, sell and deliver. For School Collect: we deliver in bulk. For Service Fee: we deliver your master file for your own distribution.
Frequently asked questions
Do you film in primary schools and nurseries?
Yes. We’re used to school environments and work with staff on safeguarding expectations and venue rules.
Are you DBS checked?
Yes — our filming team are DBS checked and we take a safeguarding-first approach to working on school sites.
Can parents still film on phones?
This is up to your school policy. If you want maximum sales (especially on Parent Pay / School Collect), we recommend clear communication that the official film is being produced and that audience filming should be limited.
How is audio captured?
Where possible we take a clean feed from the desk. If not, we use backup microphones to ensure the final film is clear.
What if we have two shows in one day?
No problem. Tell us the schedule and we’ll suggest the best pricing model (and the fairest way to handle filming time and edit workload).
