Film production FAQs
Where will our hotel video be seen?
Your hotel video will appear in our “A taste of…” city guide video amongst other quality hotels and you will have a separate video of just your hotel. Both of these videos will be available to view on our Youtube channel and also on our online magazine, The Global Circle.
How about the quality of your productions?
We work very hard to produce videos of a high quality, we film all hotel footage in 4k, use quality equipment and Hollywood grade film editing and colour grading software to get the best results. We film in a cinematic style and produce tailor made original music in-house for our videos to really make them original and enjoyable for viewers
Can we show the video on our hotel website?
Yes of course, we can provide you with an embed link that your web developer can use to insert the video onto any page you like, its a very simple process that any web designer can do in a matter of minutes.
Optionally we can also produce a non branded video at a small extra cost which does not have the Global Circle Club branding, just the end credits will be shown. The branded video link can be provided for free
Can we assist in or ask for anything specific for our hotel video?
Yes of course, we will work with you to make the best possible video. If you or a member of staff would like to be in the video, if you have any ideas or would like to tell us which parts of the hotel to focus on just let us know.
What if we make the video but leave the platform in the future, can we still use the video?
We would be sad to see you go but these things happen. In this case we can for a small cost produce a non branded version for use on your own website and provide you with an embed link which you can use for as long as you want
Will the filming cause disruption?
We are very careful not to disrupt your normal business as we know a hotel is a 24/7 business! We usually need a room for one to two hours maximum and film in public areas in a way that causes minimum disruption. If you would like scenes of people in your bar, restaurant, breakfast, lobby etc just let us know if your guests are ok with it and we will be happy to shoot the scenes, we are always working with you to get the best result!
How does pricing work?
We believe in keeping things simple and fair at all times. We charge for videos at an all inclusive per second cost, so you are free to decide how long you want your video to be within your budget, the minimum length is 60 seconds. We will agree a maximum length in seconds with you and which parts of the hotel to film and will then produce the finished film within the agreed time. As a general guideline about 20 to 30 seconds per location (room, lobby, pool, gym etc) would be enough. The per second cost covers filming, editing, colour grading, music, titles, the lot! If you would like any extras like presenters or we need to hire any equipment for your shoot then that would be extra once you have given the approval. In most cases there are no extra costs.
