Why choose Prohibition for video production?
Video that is built to perform
Many production companies stop at the final cut. We plan how your video will be seen before we film it, because we are also a PR agency and a social media agency. For ENGIE, content and paid social drove 155,000 link clicks and lifted share of voice. We are a multi-award-winning creative agency based in Leeds.
How much does video production cost?
It depends on the length, number of shoot days, crew, locations, actors or presenters, animation and how many edits you need for each platform. A simple social or interview video costs far less than a scripted brand film. We give you a written quote after a first call, or you can contact us now.

Where can videos be shared to?
Social Media

Why should I hire a video production agency?

Access To Professional Actors And Voice-Over Artists
A production company will have access to all the experts in their network, which means they are likely to employ creative and credible actors to represent your brand as authentically as possible.

Production companies can lease high-quality recording studios to guarantee that the customer gets the most exceptional audio for their content.
