Oxford Digital Media is one of the UK’s most experienced video production companies, with a base in Oxford and a long track record of delivering high-quality visual media for organisations of every size — from global broadcasters and world-leading brands to local businesses, universities and charities.
Whether you need a broadcast-quality documentary, a corporate training film, a product launch video, a livestreamed conference or an animated explainer, we handle the entire production process in-house. Our team of producers, directors, scriptwriters, camera operators, editors, animators and sound engineers work together from first concept to final delivery, ensuring consistency, creativity and quality at every stage.
What Does a Video Production Company Do?
A video production company manages the full lifecycle of a film or video project. At Oxford Digital Media, that means taking your brief from an initial idea through three core phases:
Pre-production — concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, scheduling and budgeting. Getting this right is what separates a smooth shoot from an expensive one.
Production — the actual filming, whether on location across the UK or abroad, or in our own 4K-equipped TV and film studio in Oxford. We shoot in HD, 4K and 6K, with single or multi-camera setups.
Post-production — editing, colour grading, sound design, music composition, motion graphics, voiceover recording and final delivery in whatever format you need — whether that’s broadcast-ready masters, web-optimised files, or a Digital Cinema Package (DCP) for theatrical release.
Our Video Production Services
We offer a comprehensive range of video production services tailored to your goals and audience.
Corporate Video Production
Corporate videos are one of the most effective ways to communicate your organisation’s values, capabilities and culture. We produce internal communications films, CEO messages, company overview videos, recruitment videos, investor presentations and brand films for organisations across a wide range of sectors, including finance, healthcare, technology, retail and professional services.
Our corporate video work is characterised by clear messaging, professional production values and an understanding of how to make complex subjects engaging. We know that a corporate video needs to do a job — not just look good — and we work closely with you to make sure yours does exactly that.
Training and Educational Video
Oxford Digital Media has a long and distinguished history of producing educational and training video content. We work with some of the world’s biggest educational publishers, producing video resources used in schools, colleges and universities across the globe. Our work covers subjects from English Language Teaching (ELT) to business skills, science, medical practice and vocational training.
Given our proximity to Oxford University and a cluster of world-class higher education institutions, we also have deep experience filming lectures, seminars, tutorials and academic interviews. If you’re a publisher, university or training provider looking for a production partner that understands educational content, we’re well placed to help.
Documentary Production
Documentary filmmaking sits at the heart of what we do. Oxford Digital Media has produced documentary content for the BBC, Channel 4 and ITV, as well as internationally distributed music documentaries. Our documentary work combines rigorous research, skilled interviewing, expressive cinematography and compelling editorial storytelling to create films that engage, inform and endure.
We produce documentaries on commission from broadcasters, as independent productions, and as branded documentary content for organisations that want to tell their story in depth. If you have a subject that deserves the full documentary treatment, talk to us.
Marketing and Brand Video
In a world where video accounts for the majority of online content consumption, a well-produced marketing video is one of the highest-return investments a business can make. We produce promotional films, product videos, testimonial videos, explainer videos and advertising content designed to drive engagement, build brand awareness and support your sales pipeline.
Our marketing videos are crafted with your target audience and distribution platform in mind — whether that’s your website, LinkedIn, YouTube, a trade show screen or a broadcast advertising slot. We understand both the creative and commercial dimensions of effective video marketing.
Medical and Healthcare Video
We have significant experience producing video for the medical, healthcare and life sciences sectors. This includes patient information films, clinical training videos, surgical procedure documentation, pharmaceutical promotional content and healthcare organisation communications. We understand the regulatory landscape, the importance of accuracy, and the sensitivity required when dealing with medical subjects and patients.
Events, Conferences and Live Streaming
We film and livestream conferences, award ceremonies, product launches, lectures, performances and corporate events. Our live streaming service allows you to reach a global audience in real time, while our multi-camera event filming creates a high-quality archive of your event suitable for on-demand distribution, internal use or broadcast.
Animation and Motion Graphics
Not every message is best told with a camera. Our in-house animation team produces explainer animations, 2D character animation, motion graphics, title sequences and data visualisations. Animation is particularly effective for communicating complex processes, abstract ideas or content where live action isn’t practical — and it’s a highly versatile format for web, social media and broadcast use.

Why Choose Oxford Digital Media?
Broadcast Experience
Our founding director began his career as a music composer for BBC, Channel 4 and ITV documentaries before moving into television production. That broadcast background runs through everything we do — it means we hold our work to the standards of the best in the industry, not just the standards of the corporate video market.
ISO 9001 Certified
We are ISO 9001 certified, which provides independent assurance that our quality management processes consistently deliver results. For clients in regulated industries, or organisations that require robust supplier credentials, this certification matters.
Cyber Essentials Certified
We hold Cyber Essentials certification, demonstrating our commitment to data security. When you share sensitive materials, scripts, footage or intellectual property with us, you can trust that it’s handled securely.
Everything In-House
Unlike agencies that outsource production to freelance crews, our core team is in-house. That means consistent quality control, a single point of responsibility, and a team that knows your project from brief to delivery.
Oxford-Based, UK and International Reach
Based four miles from Oxford city centre and one hour from London Paddington, we are well placed to work across the south of England and beyond. We regularly film on location throughout the UK and internationally, and our central Oxford studio is accessible from the M40, A34 and A420.
Frequently Asked Questions About Video Production
How much does video production cost?
Video production costs vary enormously depending on length, complexity, crew size, location, post-production requirements and distribution format. A straightforward talking head interview can be produced for a few hundred pounds; a multi-day documentary or broadcast commercial may run to tens of thousands. We always provide a clear, detailed quote before any work begins, and we’re happy to discuss options at different budget levels. The best way to get an accurate cost is to call us on 01865 241007 and describe what you’re trying to achieve.
How long does video production take?
Again, this depends on the scope of the project. A simple filmed interview with same-day edit can be turned around in 24-48 hours. A fully produced corporate video or short documentary typically takes two to six weeks from brief to delivery, accounting for pre-production, filming and post-production. Larger broadcast or documentary projects may take several months. We’ll give you a realistic timeline as part of your initial quote, and we’re experienced at working to tight deadlines when needed.
Do you only work in Oxford?
No. While our studios and production offices are in Oxford, we film across the UK and internationally. We have worked in London, across Europe, and further afield. Our studio location also means we’re convenient for clients in London — Oxford is under an hour from Paddington.
What format will my video be delivered in?
We can deliver in whatever format you need — broadcast-ready masters (such as IMF or MXF), web-optimised MP4 files, social media cuts, DCP for cinema, or any other format your platform or broadcaster requires. We’ll discuss delivery specifications at the start of the project so there are no surprises at the end.
Can you compose original music for my video?
Yes. Our in-house music composition capability is a genuine differentiator. Original music composed specifically for your film creates a more cohesive and impactful result than generic library tracks. We have composed original scores for BBC, Channel 4 and ITV documentaries, as well as for hundreds of corporate, educational and promotional productions.
Is your studio available for hire?
Yes. Our green screen studio in central Oxford is available for dry hire and is used by the BBC and numerous production companies. The studio is also suitable for photography, media training and product testing. Our audio studio is available for voiceover, music recording and dubbing sessions. Get in touch to check availability and rates.
