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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Who owns the material?

    You do. Full usage rights to all delivered files, always.

  8. Can you work within our visual guidelines?

    Yes. I’ve produced inside brand, party and European Parliament guidelines.

  9. How do you handle data protection and compliance?

    GDPR-compliant from consent forms to file handling, across every delivery.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.
