Frequently Asked Questions


I want a video integrated into my website as a portal or active canvas. Can you code the website as well as provide the video?

Yes so long as the site is in simple HTML and CSS. PHP, JavaScript, and the other specialised languages are a bit beyond us.


What sort of video & photo recording equipment do you use?

We have range of Canon, Black Magic, go-pro, Leica cameras with a variety of lenses. We use predominantly RØDE and Sennheiser microphones and Zoom recorders. We also have an eclectic mix of period film and video cameras dating back to the 1940's.


Can you make videos for my business/product/service internal or external media?

Yes. Engineering Companies, Fabricators, Energy Providers, Hotels, Ferries, Estate Agents, Dealerships, Financial Services, APP platforms, Banks, Wine-Makers, - "insert business here," we will have a variety of sensible options with quantifiable criteria.


What should someone expect of a video or promotional work for a product/business/service etc?

It ought to be an effective and credible showcase of the professional skills or product in question; substantive, clear, easily understood, and genuine.


What is the most difficult part of making any video be it for a business, product, service, or narrative film?

Going from general ideas and intent to a specific coherent plan with well defined objectives that can be carried out.


Can you take a video project from conception to completion?

Certainly. We are an almost one-stop-shop with a full range of equipment with in-house photographers, cinematographer, and director.


Can you arrange and facilitate a series of interviews for us?

Yes; there are several options for interviews:
- Formal "sit-down" interviews to camera or past the camera to an interviewer.
- "Over-the-shoulder" or "on-the-job" interviews where the subject is also engaged in a task.
- "Fly-on-the-wall;" where the camera is not referenced.
- Voice-over and more.


Can you take on an incomplete film project that requires finishing?

Perhaps but it depends on how large the project is, what parts of production have been completed, time-frames, and what the expectations are.


Does it have to be arty or complicated?

Not at all. We work to a brief with coherent attainable goals. Further design elements can be added if desired along the way but substance and style must walk hand in hand.


Are the services you offer scalable to my needs?

Whatever your needs and budget we can provide a well equipped one-man band to a well equipped small team. This is our preference based on experience.
Big idea, big crew, big kit, big expectations, and big money do not necessarily imply nor guarantee big quality nor big success. (Ask us how we know.)


How much does everything cost?

Rates are standard and can be negotiated depending on what the end requirements & timescales are.
We can also agree a fixed fee contract on a per project basis.


Do you offer video packages with pricing?

No, there is no one size fits all package nor packages in general. In our view; packages aren't transparent as to what you're getting, don't necessarily account for a client's needs, and offer questionable value for money.


We cannot find what we need in stock footage archives. Can you create a specific scene, practical effect, animation, time-lapse, or other shot to order?

Yes within reason.


How small are you?

Small but punch above our weight!


What was the last experimental film Neurotic Pictures produced entirely itself?

Rhetoric, 2022. You can find some of the case studies from it (particularly the macro particle flows) in the gallery.
In the KINO section you can also find excerpts from music-videos, composite renders, some interesting scenes, and a few technology tests.


I have different questions.
