Fast Turnaround Videography (UK-Wide)

Need a videographer quickly? We’ve got you covered.

Sometimes filming gets booked months in advance.

Sometimes it’s… tomorrow.

If you’ve got an urgent interview, event or announcement coming up, we provide reliable, in-house videography at short notice — without drama, without stress and without cutting corners.

Filming from £525 + VAT (Half Day)
£725 + VAT (Full Day)
Optional 24-48 hour edit add-on available if you need it turned around fast.

Check availability and get a fast quote now

Send the location, date/time and what you need filmed. We’ll confirm availability quickly and clearly.

When plans changed, you still need it filmed properly

Last-minute filming usually happens because:

  • A videographer cancels
  • Someone’s double-booked
  • An event date shifts
  • A leadership interview suddenly becomes urgent
  • A campaign message needs capturing this week

Short notice shouldn’t mean rushed or awkward coverage. We’re set up to step in quickly and get the job done properly.

The situations we step into all the time

“We need a videographer this week… ideally sooner.”

If you’ve got an interview, event or announcement looming, we can often crew it at short notice (subject to availability and travel).

“Our videographer dropped out.”

Cancelled. Ill. Stuck elsewhere. We get it, it happens. We have a lot of experience stepping in as a replacement and keeping your filming on track.

“The conference finishes today - and we need content fast.”

We capture keynotes, panels and cutaways so you’ve got strong footage ready to publish while attention is still there.

“We just need a camera operator.”

Perfect. You direct, we shoot. Or, if you’d rather not manage it, we can handle everything from filming through to final edits.

Built for short-notice corporate filming

Fast turnaround doesn’t mean frantic (trust us, it really doesn’t).

It means:

  • An experienced, calm crew
  • Our own professional kit (no scrambling for gear)
  • Clear communication
  • A simple process that doesn’t waste time

We regularly support:

  • Conference organisers
  • Marketing agencies
  • Councils and public sector teams
  • Corporate comms departments

When things shift unexpectedly and sometimes, they just do, we’re used to adapting.

What we can film (yes, even at short notice)

Corporate interviews

Leadership updates, recruitment videos, case studies, internal messages. We’ll make sure to offer clean audio, flattering lighting and professional framing.

We at Young Epilepsy have had the pleasure of working with Open House Pictures on several projects, and we couldn't be more impressed with their work. They have helped us produce and capture videos featuring young people telling their real-life stories, bringing their experiences to life in a truly impactful way. In a separate project, they were tasked with creating three films simultaneously for different audiences – not an easy feat, but they handled it with creativity and professionalism. Open House Pictures has been wonderful to work with and collaborate with, always coming up with creative ideas to overcome obstacles and always super friendly to work with. We highly recommend Open House Pictures for any video production needs. Their dedication, creativity, and friendly approach make them a fantastic partner.

LIFE ACT commissioned Open House Pictures to create a short documentary showing behind the scenes of our upcoming show. Dan & Aidan were absolutely fantastic! From the initial meeting, to them being in the space and shooting footage, to the final cut was a pleasure. As the documentary centred around disabled & learning disabled actors and crew with varying communication methods, I was particularly impressed with the Open House's ability to clearly communicate what each shoot day's intentions were using various methods, including some bits of BSL and Makaton which helped ensure the process was inclusive, especially as many of the actors were interview for the documentary too. Communication between myself and the OH team was great too; we were kept in the loop throughout the entire editing process -giving us ample opportunity to ensure the documentary had the exact tone we wanted. Would absolutely recommend, and I hope to work with the team again.

We worked with Open House on 2 occasions, both times delivered great service and nailed the brief. Lovely team to work with, creative and professional. Our videos with highest impressions and engagement on TikTok and Instagram, were both produced by Open House. Would definitely recommend for commercial use.

I have worked with Open House on multiple occasions, but most recently we asked them to create an event video for our independent video game festival at Forge Warehouse in 2024. They were super responsive throughout the whole process, and an absolute dream to work with on the day. Made it very easy. Final product was spot on - expertly shot and edited. Looking forward to working with them again on any upcoming projects!

We worked with Open House Pictures on our client testimonial videos, and they were absolutely brilliant. Dan, who I worked with most, was professional, approachable, and full of creative ideas that really made the project come together. The whole team was easy to work with, super organized, and they made the entire process feel effortless. The quality of the final videos was excellent, and they really captured the message we were aiming for. I’d highly recommend Open House Pictures to anyone looking for professional and creative video production. Thanks again to Dan and the team for all your hard work!

We had the pleasure of working with Open House pictures who produced an absolutely fantastic film for us, documenting Life Act (a disability led theatre company). They carefully listened to our brief and created a film that was of the highest standard. The team are exceptionally capable and take great care in reaching the client’s expectations. They are hardworking and have a real eye for detail and will go the extra mile to produce the best quality work. Not only that, they are a pleasure to work with - friendly, thoughtful and professional. Highly recommended.

Joe came to our offices to take our team photos. We had lots of fun and Joe took some incredible photos, which we have since used for our website and various publications. Great job!
