A production studio, finely cut

The brief

Small Batch is a producer-led video studio working with PR agencies, brands and comms teams: talking heads, events, case-study films, social cut-downs, internal comms, branded podcasts. Its whole pitch is simplicity: one brief in, one set of files out, one invoice, with a one-to-two-week turnaround. And it sits on top of a real film-and-television camera-department career (Andor, Wonka, Silo), so the craft underneath isn’t in question. The site had to do two things at once: make the work the hero, and make briefing feel as effortless as the studio promises it is.

The work

A bespoke studio site where the reel does the talking and everything else gets out of the way. The page is built around the producer-led model (one brief in, one set of files out) and walks a busy comms lead from “we should probably make a film” to a brief in the inbox without friction.

Recent work leads, credited to the agencies behind it. Pricing is stated as a stance, not a rate card: quoted to the actual brief, one line, no itemised mystery. The five-step process (brief, quote, pre-pro, shoot, edit and deliver) is laid out so a first-time client knows exactly what happens and when. A blue-chip logo wall and a credits section (the camera-department pedigree) carry the proof, and a short “send a brief” route mirrors the studio’s real fifteen-minute intake call.

The system

• Work-first layout: the reel and recent films carry the page; the interface stays quiet.
• The producer-led promise (one contact, one invoice), built into the structure, not just the copy.
• A clear five-step process and quoted-to-scope pricing, stated plainly.
• Blue-chip logo wall and agency-credited case studies doing the proof work.
• A “send a brief” route designed around the studio’s fifteen-minute intake call.
• Hand-coded, fast, no template: built to load instantly and stay out of the way of the films.

The result

A site that sells the way the studio works (fast, clear, confident) and turns a vague “we should talk to someone about a film” into a brief the producer can quote the same day.
