So, what is a video editing service?
A video editing service involves professionally manipulating and arranging overlay video footage to create a polished final product. It includes tasks like cutting, clip sequence, adding transitions, applying effects, animation, graphics, colour grading, audio integration, and text/graphics inclusion by an experienced video post-production company.

Perhaps a video editing subscription could work for you?
But first, what is this? Well, it's an arrangement where clients pays a recurring fee to a professional video post-production company in exchange for a predetermined amount of video production services on an ongoing basis. This subscription model is designed to provide businesses with a consistent and cost-effective solution for their video content needs.
The benefits to this are:
Save time
One of perhaps the more obvious reasons as to why a video editing subscription is a good idea for your business is that it's the ultimate time and energy saver. From brainstorming ideas to execution, getting regular video production, clips and animation is pretty time-thirsty. But by outsourcing this task to experts (as in us) through an on-going subscription, your in-house team can focus on other core business activities. It's an efficient way to free up valuable time and resources. Look at us as your new shiny piece of creative software!
It takes years to learn how to perfect sound design, lighting set ups, camera equipment and angles, motion graphics & visual effect. We have put in those hours over the last decade which means we can save you tonnes of time & produce a piece of creative that really helps you stand out as a brand.
Consistent quality
Consistency is something that we all set out to do, but in reality it's not as easy at it first seemed. But with our video editing subscription, no more worrying about those awkward content gaps. Blog posts? Check. Social media gems? You got it. Stunning visual effects? Absolutely. Beautiful storytelling, we got you! And the best part? It's all done at a consistently high-quality that will leave your competitors wondering how you do it. We have spent the last decade mastering our craft, from setting up the perfect camera angle to building the right lighting set ups and knowing exactly which lens should be used on multiple cameras. We can provide that consistent quality you’re looking for. Lastly, over the years we have produced edit sequence after edit montage, we know how to produce exactly what you’re looking for!
Content with a strategy
We're all guilty of posting something last minute on the business social media account because, well, we needed to post something. But unfortunately as many of us will know, any successful and robust marketing strategy requires all activity and content to be well thought out and planned in advance... which means no more last minute frantic social media posting, sorry. So leave the brainwork & storytelling to us and sleep well knowing your content alines perfectly with your business and marketing strategy. It's more important that ever to create content for the native platforms. We edit for a variety of platforms such as Youtube, TikTok, Facebook, Linkedin, TV advertisements, digital display boards & Instagram.

Frequently asked questions
WHAT DOES A MONTHLY
RETAINER LOOK LIKE?
One of the fastest ways to grow on Youtube is to upload consistently and is crucial to your success. To achieve this you need an 'always on' content generation machine plugged into your brand channel. That's what our monthly retainers look like, a Youtube specialist extension of your team and not just lots of projects. Some say we're next level, but we'll let you decide!Our clients benefit from our specialist creative minds on a regular basis, have proven pre-built systems and have a consistent feed of videos being uploaded out on their socials & Youtube channels.

(Did buzz lightyear write this?)
HOW MUCH DOES A
VIDEO PROJECT COST?
Video can cost £500, it can cost £50,000. We are very transparent when it comes to cost & why this question is so difficult to answer is because there are so many factors to video and film production. The reality is, if you're looking to grow on Youtube, the average cost would be anywhere between £5,000 to £20,000 a month and this would need to be invested for a couple of years.If you're a premium brand, you will want a good looking set, high quality talent, vibey footage and a high quality production - this won't be a small amount of money. Our best advice is to find as many references as you can to put in your brief so the production company you choose has an idea of your expectations. Secondly, if you have a budget, share this with us, as it helps us in the ideation stage come up with an idea that fits in with your costs.
WILL TRENDY GRANDAD
FILM ANYWHERE?
Trendy Grandad have physical offices in London, Manchester & New York City. However, we have filmed in the field most corners of the world. We regularly film on location in the UK & America however have filmed for National Geographic in Switzerland and a online commercial in New Zealand - all part of our great video production service.So, yes, we travel and film in the field a lot!
Why do you specialise
IN YOUTUBE?
We create Youtube videos, not just videos. This has been video agencies mantra and vision from the start and the reason why most brands fail in the Youtube space. Because they treat Youtube as their video dumping ground or attack it like they would a meta strategy. Youtube is an entirely new planet and with that, it needs a seperate strategy, budget & approach.Over the years we've become experts in building & growing channels for brands that want to build a community and new revenue stream in the Youtube world.Arguably, we are the now considered one of London & New York's leading Youtube & Social first specialist video production companies.
