Few Kent towns give a camera this much to work with. There’s the Victorian sweep of The Leas on the clifftop, the restored Harbour Arm and its lighthouse, the steep cobbles of the Old High Street, the viaduct and the beaches stretching towards Sandgate. On a clear day you can see France. It all makes for footage that feels specific to the place rather than shot anywhere.
Our crew travels down from Maidstone for every Folkestone shoot. We film at your premises, out on location or at your event, then take the footage back to the studio for editing. Here’s what we produce:
Filming on the coast takes more planning than filming in an office. Wind noise, changing light, high tides and busy summer weekends can all derail a day if nobody has thought about them. We scout locations, check whether permission is needed from landowners or the council, and build a shot list that makes the best use of every hour. The crew arrives in Folkestone with the kit we need and nothing we don’t, keeps disruption to your staff or customers low, and leaves with everything the edit requires. You then go through the cuts with us, and we refine them until the film is right.

Video production in Folkestone: frequently asked questions
Will you come to Folkestone to film?
Yes. Every shoot is filmed on location, so the crew travels to your premises, event or chosen spot around Folkestone. Editing then happens at our Maidstone studio.
Can we film on the beach or the Harbour Arm?
Often, yes. Some areas need permission from the landowner or operator, so we check that during planning and work around opening hours and crowds.
What happens if the weather turns on the day?
We keep an indoor backup or a reserve date in the plan for outdoor shoots. Coastal weather changes fast, so we build that flexibility in from the start.
Can you film an event at a Folkestone venue?
Yes. We cover launches, talks, performances and festivals, and can turn around highlight edits quickly for social media.
Can the video tie in with our website and branding?
Definitely. We often produce video alongside website projects and brand work, so everything looks consistent.
