DevilBoy Productions is a London video production company founded in 2011 by producer Nigel Camp, filming events and conferences, corporate documentaries and customer-story films for brands and for agencies.

Most of our work is with or through agencies, and the rest is for brands directly, so every service below can slot into your team or run on its own. The person you brief is the person who produces your film. DevilBoy is run like a boutique agency: the crew is sized to the job, from two cameras to a full team, and every crew member is highly experienced in film production.

What each service includes

Most of our corporate work is internal or under NDA, and no project is shown or named without written permission.

Case study and testimonial videos in London, for B2B brands

A case study film works when a real customer explains, in their own words, what changed for them. We film them documentary-style: an interview that feels like a conversation, plus enough footage of the work itself to show it. Agencies bring us in to make these for their clients, and brands come to us directly, often with a customer who has never been on camera before. We’ve produced customer-story films for business-to-business software companies, from a single interview to a short documentary series.

From the shoot: even a short testimonial usually needs half a day or more once setup, the interview, supporting footage and pack-down are counted. Pick the quietest room in the building, and give the crew time to set up before your customer arrives.

Included

  • Interview questions planned with you
  • Filming, from two cameras to a full crew
  • A main film plus short cut-downs for social and sales
  • Three rounds of changes
  • Captions as an SRT file

Pricing: Every job is quoted from the brief. Guide prices are in the FAQ.

Event and conference filming in London, for organisers

Events don’t allow second takes, so the planning matters as much as the filming. We cover conferences, launches and awards nights, both for agencies running an event for a client and for brands running their own. That means a multi-camera crew of two to five cameras, with edited highlights, full-session recordings, speaker clips and short edits for social. We’ve filmed at ExCeL London, the Royal Geographical Society and 30 Euston Square. For a software company’s conference at 30 Euston Square, the coverage was planned around a 90-second hero reel, shorter social cuts, speaker highlight clips and stills, so the footage kept working long after the day.

From the shoot: the venue PA isn’t the same as good recorded sound. We confirm the sound desk feed before the day and record backup audio as well.

Included

  • A planning call well before the day
  • Multi-camera coverage, two to five cameras
  • Highlights, session recordings and speaker clips
  • Backup audio alongside the desk feed
  • Three rounds of changes on edited films

Pricing: Every job is quoted from the brief. Guide prices are in the FAQ. Please give at least two weeks’ notice; most clients book a month ahead.

Interview and talking-head filming in London, for leadership teams

Leaders, experts, staff and customers on camera, one at a time or as a series filmed in a single session. Agencies bring us in for interview-led pieces inside bigger campaigns, and brands for leadership messages, internal films and explainers. Every interview is filmed on at least two cameras, normally with a boom mic and two- or three-point lighting, depending on budget. Many contributors have never been on camera, so we take time to settle them and coach their delivery before we roll. Our founder, Nigel Camp, wrote The Video Effect, a practical guide to being on camera, in 2014. Most of its basics still hold, and we’ve used them ever since.

From the shoot: in a busy office, with colleagues walking past, answers go flat. A quieter part of the building helps.

Included

  • Questions and key messages agreed with you
  • At least two cameras
  • A boom mic and two- or three-point lighting, to suit the budget
  • An edited film per person, plus short clips
  • Three rounds of changes

Pricing: Every job is quoted from the brief. Guide prices are in the FAQ.

Documentary films for businesses, charities and agencies, from London

Some subjects need more room than a promotional film gives them. We make documentary-style films and series built around real people and what actually happens, rather than a script read to camera. They include The Youth Rise in Power, a three-part series made with Freshworks, Amazon Web Services and the London School of Economics, and Experience IT, a 12-episode interview series in four seasons for Freshworks. Shorter work includes films for charities, told through the people involved, and our edit and motion graphics, with Louise Stevens, on Kew Gardens’ micro-documentary about Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, which Kew filmed. Agencies and brands both commission them. The films, and how a documentary project runs, are on the documentaries page.

Wildlife and nature filming sits here too. We’ve spent time in Africa and the Caribbean making micro-documentaries, and we bring that patience to nature work in the UK and abroad.

Included

  • Research and finding the right contributors
  • Interviews and observed filming
  • A single film or a series, plus shorter edits
  • Three rounds of changes

Guide price: see the starting rates.

Brand and promotional films in London, for marketing teams

A brand or promotional film has to help a business present itself, explain something clearly or get people to act. We make short promotional films, explainers and interview-led pieces for websites, campaigns, social and internal communications, including leadership films made for staff only. Agencies bring us in to produce to their creative, and brands often come with a goal but no format yet, so we shape it together.

Tip: before anyone talks about shots, script or music, agree the one thing the film is meant to change for the viewer. If you can’t say it in a sentence, the film will try to do too much. Plan the versions at the same time: we deliver 16:9 as standard, and vertical or other cut-downs for social on request.

Included

  • A script or interview plan
  • Filming, with the crew sized to the job
  • Royalty-free music, properly licensed
  • A main film plus versions for each platform
  • Three rounds of changes

Pricing: Every job is quoted from the brief. Guide prices are in the FAQ.

Podcast filming in London, for brands with a show

We film podcasts and interview series, for brands running their own show and for agencies producing one for a client. We’ve run podcasts with up to four cameras, and can add more if a format needs them. The aim is clean sound, steady framing and enough angles that the edit never feels static. You can book filming only, or filming and editing, with short clips cut from each episode for social.

Tip: choose the room for how it sounds, not how it looks. Glass walls, hard floors and empty meeting rooms echo, and echo is very hard to take out in the edit. Soft furnishings help, so does a microphone for each speaker, and switch the air conditioning off while you record if you can.

Included

  • Up to four cameras, or more if required
  • Filming only, or filming and editing
  • Short clips for social, vertical on request
  • Captions as an SRT file

Guide price: see the starting rates.

Live streaming crews for London events and conferences

Some events need an audience beyond the room. The clients we work with usually already have a streaming partner, so we slot in alongside them: we film the event, and the partner runs the stream. Agencies and brands get one crew covering both the live audience and the edits afterwards, since every session is recorded as we go. We need the stream keys and technical details in advance, so we can set up and test with your partner before doors open.

Tip: introduce us to your streaming partner early, and book a test slot in the room before the day. Problems found at the test are easy to fix; problems found at doors open aren’t.

Included

  • Cameras and crew working alongside your streaming partner
  • Set-up and testing before doors open
  • Every session recorded for edits afterwards
  • Highlights and clips after the event

Guide price: see the starting rates.

Video editing and colour grading in London, for agencies

You can book as much or as little of the post-production as you need, from filming only to filming and editing together. For agencies with their own editors, filming only can make sense. For brands, filming and editing together means one producer is responsible from the shoot to the final file. Where we edit, we shape the structure and pacing and can manage the full colour grade, typically in DaVinci Resolve, so skin tones and rooms match from shot to shot. Cuts come through an online review portal, with three rounds of changes included.

Tip: if you want captions, ask for an SRT file rather than burned-in text. It uploads to most platforms and can be corrected later, while burned-in captions can’t be changed without re-exporting the film.

Included

  • Filming only, or filming and editing
  • Structure and edit
  • The full colour grade, typically in DaVinci Resolve
  • Royalty-free music, properly licensed
  • Captions as an SRT file, plus versions for each platform

Guide price: see the starting rates.

White-label video production in London, for agencies

Most of our work is with or through agencies, so working under your brand is normal for us. We work to your brief and your lead, as an unbranded crew introduced as part of your team, and deliver in your name. On the day we can deal with your client directly or only through you, whichever you prefer. The client relationship stays yours: we don’t approach your client, and no project is shown or named without written permission. NDAs are a normal part of our work, and we’re happy to sign yours. You can book any service on this page this way, from filming only, with the footage going to your editors, to a finished film.

Tip: send us your client’s brand guidelines and any on-site rules with the brief, and tell us how you’d like us introduced on the day.

Included

  • An unbranded crew, working under your brand
  • Filming only, or filming and editing
  • Footage to your editors, or a finished film in your name
  • Your NDA signed
  • Three rounds of changes on edited films

Guide price: see the starting rates.
