Yes, you can! Please note, when filming, we can capture between 500GB-1TB of footage, so we will need to pop this onto a hard drive and mail to you. If you wish to keep the drive, there will be a charge of £50 for this.
Absolutely! If you're not sure how to find a great location, just let us know what you're looking for, what your budget is and we will point you in the right direction.
You could also check out some of these location sites (we use these a lot): Peerspace, Scouty & TagVenue.
Please note, our rate does not include location hire. Locations can cost anywhere between £50-£1,000+, so it's important to budget for this. Quick tip: If you have performed at a venue that you love, know a friend that knows someone or work somewhere cool, it might be worth speaking to the owner of that location to see if you can use the space for filming.
Yes, we do! You're in a beautiful venue with great lighting, so why not get some photos in the setup as well? Just make sure to let us know you want this when you get in touch.

Everywhere in the UK! We're based in Crewe, but we travel all over. We find ourselves in London and Manchester a lot. But, we will travel to any village, town, city, etc. in the UK.
Yes, we can. We have enough sound equipment to capture sound for a small to mid-sized setup. For larger setups, we would recomend pre-recording your audio with a specialist.
Quick note: Some locations may not have the best acoustics. For example, a large wedding barn may look beautiful, but all of those hard surfaces would create reverb and capturing sound in that location wouldn't produce the best results. The filming location may also suffer from atmospheric sound issues, for example, if the location is positioned under a railway, near a busy motorway or next to a construction site. We want you to impress booking agents, venues, etc. and having 'ok' audio isn't going to cut it. We would always advise you to capture your audio beforehand (in sound treated room) to guarentee you get the best possible audio. Then we can focus on getting a beautiful video, without worrying about the acoustics of the location. But we can definitely offer on-location sound recording! We would just advise you to be careful and enquire about audio when booking your location.
Yes! However, we want the best lighting, camera angles, dynamic camera movement, multiple takes of the same songs, etc. and having an audience does make that more difficult. But it is possible! And we have done that before.
We do not. Please bring your instruments, microphones, stands and cables with you to the video shoot. Please bring everything that you would take to a gig.
Drop us a message using the form below (or send an email to chris@brookerfilms.com) and we will discuss your needs. Once you're happy and ready to proceed, we'll get a date booked in for filming.
Filming takes anywhere between 4-8 hours, depending on how many tracks you're looking to film. We film each track 4-8 times, performing to your pre-recorded audio files. This allows us to capture our wides, mid shots and closeups of each member/musician. We keep repeating this process for every track until we get everything filmed.
After a great day of filming, we take the footage away and edit a first draft for you. This will usually be ready within one week. From there, you can send your amendments, notes, and comments and we'll get to work on the next version of the video for you and we keep repeating this process until everyone is happy. We then export the video in full quality and send you a download link.
