FAQ
Every practical question, answered.
The short version lives on the homepage. This page has the full answers on pricing, delivery, languages, guidelines and procurement.
-
What does it cost?
One short video to test: €500 + VAT, fixed, credited toward your first month if you continue. Short-Form Programs start at €1,500/month for four videos (€2,500 for eight, €3,500 for twelve), month to month with no minimum term. Single-day film productions from €2,500; larger productions are scoped in one call. The full price list is on the video production in Brussels page. How video pricing works is explained in the guide to what a short video costs in Brussels.
-
We already have a communications team. Where do you fit?
Alongside it. I bring the production capability and the formats that reach under-35s. Most of my clients already have in-house comms.
-
How fast is delivery?
Short-form videos: publish-ready within 24 hours of the shoot, 48 hours if you have notes. Cinematic productions are usually ready within 7–14 days of filming.
-
Can you shoot in English and Finnish?
Yes, including interviews. Brief, shoot and feedback can run fully in English or Finnish, and subtitles in other languages are available on request.
-
Do you work with Finnish organisations in Brussels?
Yes. I’m in the EU Quarter in Brussels every week, and in Helsinki. Finnish organisations and delegations are a core part of my client base, including the Finnish S&D delegation in the European Parliament.
-
What does a Cinematic Production look like?
Typically: a planning call, a shooting plan, one or more shoot days (interviews plus b-roll), then edit, grade and delivery. A single-day executive interview production and a multi-week documentary follow the same steps at different scales.
-
Who owns the material?
You do. Full usage rights to all delivered files, always.
-
Can you work within our visual guidelines?
Yes. I’ve produced inside brand, party and European Parliament guidelines.
-
How do you handle data protection and compliance?
GDPR-compliant from consent forms to file handling, across every delivery.
-
Do you work across the political spectrum?
Yes. Production is non-partisan and follows each client’s guidelines. The message is the client’s. I handle the scripts, filming and editing.
-
How do Parliament offices and organisations hire you?
With a quote and a standard service contract. Political groups and national delegations: up to €15,000 excl. VAT over the whole contract, one quote is enough; from €15,000 to €60,000 you ask three providers, and I’m glad to be one of them. MEP offices: a service contract paid from the parliamentary assistance allowance, for content about your parliamentary work (not party or campaign material); I prepare the estimate and the draft contract. Associations, NGOs and EU-funded projects: a direct quote, or a reply to your call for tenders. The published rules for MEP offices, each with its source, are on the video for MEP offices page.
-
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. Communications and public-affairs agencies in Brussels bring me in as their production partner, under my name or theirs. English and Finnish, NDA as standard, one invoice. Day rate and per-video price on request.
-
Can you make videos for EU-funded projects?
Yes. Communication videos for Horizon Europe, Interreg and other EU-funded projects, built to the programme’s visibility rules: EU emblem, funding statement and subtitles in the languages you need. What a grant agreement asks of a video, with sources, is on the video for EU-funded projects page.
