Packages

How this works

Every Lester Film Co. retainer is built around one simple unit: filming days per quarter. The tier you choose sets how much raw material we capture and how many edited pieces we deliver, not what type of content you get.

That means there’s no separate menu of ‘social package’ versus ‘testimonial package’ versus ‘event package.’ Every tier can include any mix of the content we produce, whether that’s social content, brand films, testimonial videos, client case studies, event coverage, ad hoc filming and more. You can decide each quarter how the days are best spent, based on what’s happening in your business.

This keeps the retainer genuinely useful all year round: a quarter with a big product launch might lean heavily into a hero brand film and supporting cutdowns, while a quieter quarter might prioritise a run of client testimonials and social content. The package flexes with you; only the volume is fixed.

If you’re looking for more of a one-off project, we do those too, designed to leave you with as much content as possible through our bulk-shooting as default approach. Scroll down to find out more about both retainers and one-off projects, or if you’re in need of something more bespoke, don’t hesitate to get in touch to chat through your ideas.

Tier 1 Foundation

Steady, consistent presence without a heavy lift.

1 filming day per quarter

Ideal for: Businesses establishing a regular content habit, or topping up an existing in-house effort.

How the days might be spent this quarter:

1 – A half-day shoot capturing 2–3 client testimonials, edited into individual films plus short social cutdowns

2 – OR a single ad hoc shoot – a product launch, team announcement, or office/site update – turned into a short film and a handful of social-ready clips

3 – OR coverage of one company event, edited into a highlights reel and supporting social content

One day goes a long way when focused: most quarters this covers either one strong story told well, or several short, punchy pieces.

Tier 2 Growth

Enough filming days to build momentum across multiple fronts.

2 filming days per quarter

Ideal for: Businesses actively growing their content presence across sales, marketing, and social who  want a steady drumbeat rather than one-off pieces.

How the days might be spent this quarter:

1 – Day one: a client case study shoot – interview plus B-roll – edited into a full case study film, a short-form version, and social cutdowns

2 – Day two: a mix of ad hoc filming (a behind-the-scenes piece, a new hire announcement, or product/service spotlight) plus a dedicated half-day of social content capture

3 – Alternative quarter: two days entirely on event coverage – main highlights reel, speaker/segment cutdowns, and a bank of social clips

This is a great all-rounder option: there’s enough volume to keep channels consistently fed while still telling bigger stories properly.

Tier 3 Flagship

A genuine content engine – priority access and the full range, every quarter.

4 filming days per quarter

Ideal for: Businesses treating video as a core marketing channel, with multiple audiences (customers, prospects, talent, investors) to speak to.

How the days might be spent this quarter:

1 – A flagship brand film or major case study (1-1.5 days), edited into a hero film, sales-ready cutdown, and social series

2 – A testimonial bank (0.5-1 day) – 3-5 client interviews edited into individual films and a compilation reel

3 – Ongoing social content capture (0.5-1 day) for always-on channel presence

4 – Remaining time held flexible for ad hoc filming, event coverage, or a second case study – allocated as priorities shift through the quarter

At this volume, content stops being a quarterly project and starts functioning as a continuous channel – with priority scheduling and the fastest turnaround.

What Stays Consistent Across All Tiers

1 – Full flexibility on content type – mix and match social, brand, testimonial, case study, event and ad hoc filming however suits the quarter

2 – Raw footage library provided after every shoot

3 – A planning conversation before each quarter to agree priorities and shot list

4 – Rollover of unused filming time within the same quarter where production schedules allow (by agreement, not guaranteed)

Choosing a Starting Point

If you’re unsure which tier fits, the simplest test is this: think about how many distinct ‘stories’ your business needs to tell well in a typical quarter – a launch, a testimonial, an event, a campaign – and how many channels need feeding in between. Tier 1 suits one story plus light upkeep; Tier 2 suits two to three stories with steady social support; Tier 3 suits a business running several stories in parallel across multiple audiences.

Clients can move up a tier at any quarterly renewal point as needs grow – there’s no requirement to commit beyond the current quarter’s plan.

 

*Our costs are charged on a monthly rolling basis. We’re happy to travel up to 25 miles from our base in Skipton at no extra cost. Beyond that, we charge 45p per mile to cover fuel and travel time. If a shoot needs us to stay overnight, we’ll agree accommodation costs with you upfront.
