Frequently Asked Questions
Questions & answers
Straightforward answers about video production, commercial photography, and practical marketing support for UK SMEs.
What video production services do you offer?
We handle the full process from concept and scripting through filming, editing, motion graphics, and final cut. The work is shaped around your audience, message, and the channels where the finished video needs to perform.
Do you offer commercial photography as well as video?
Yes. We photograph products, people and teams, premises, lifestyle moments, and campaign stills, using the same planning and visual direction as the video work.
Can we get video and photography in one shoot?
Yes, where the brief and schedule make it practical. One shoot means one setup, a more efficient use of your team’s time, and a stronger set of video and still assets for your campaigns.
What does Skopo Solutions Ltd do, and who do you work with?
Skopo helps ambitious UK SMEs become easier to find, easier to understand, and easier to buy from through video production, commercial photography, campaign content, marketing SEO, list building, and research-led prospecting. We work with founders, marketing leads, and growth teams who want practical support tied to commercial goals.
How long does a project take, from first call to final footage?
It depends on the number of assets, the approvals involved, and how much filming or post-production the brief needs. A focused project can often move from first call to final footage in around two to six weeks, while larger campaigns take longer.
What happens on a shoot day, and how much of our team’s time do you need?
We plan the schedule so the right people are needed for the right moments rather than keeping everyone on set all day. Most clients provide a short window for interviews, demonstrations, or team shots, with Skopo managing the filming and direction.
Where do you film?
We work UK-wide from our base in Staffordshire and Shropshire. We can travel for shoots elsewhere in the UK, with travel and logistics scoped clearly as part of the project.
What do we actually receive at the end?
You receive the agreed edited films, shorter social cuts, stills, and exports in the aspect ratios each channel needs, such as widescreen, square, and vertical. We can also organise source files and supporting assets where that is part of the brief.
Can you shape the footage for our social channels and ads?
Yes. We can create vertical cuts, subtitled versions, shorter edits, and campaign-ready exports for the platforms and placements you are using.
Do we own the footage and can we reuse it?
Usage rights are included in the agreed project scope, so you can reuse the final assets across your website, social channels, campaigns, and ads without ongoing licence fees. We will confirm any third-party or talent restrictions before the shoot.
How much does video production or a photography shoot cost?
Pricing depends on the creative scope, shoot time, locations, people involved, and the number of final assets. We scope projects around the commercial need and provide a clear proposal, so you are paying for useful deliverables rather than a vague day rate.
How do we get started?
Start with a no-obligation discovery call and tell us what you need the content to achieve. We will ask the useful questions, outline the most sensible route, and be straightforward about whether we are the right fit.
How does marketing content connect to being found?
Good content gives your website, social channels, and campaigns useful material to build around, while practical SEO helps the right searches lead people to it. We can connect that work with researched list building so your team has a clearer audience to reach next.
How does Prospecting.biz generate leads?
Prospecting.biz starts with people-led research into real companies, decision-makers, and fit. Lists are built from researched sources, including Companies House data where relevant, so targeting reflects current company information and genuine fit.
Is Skopo a large agency or consultancy?
Skopo is an early-stage, self-funded business with a lean, direct team. You work with the people doing the work, with clear communication and focused delivery rather than layers of account management.
