Making filmswith Substance
We make films with style and substance to help you tell your story with creativity and authenticity.
Showreel
We are Substance, a creative video production company in London, that creates video content for corporate, healthcare, charity and lifestyle brands. Our passion lies in telling stories about brands and services, or individual people and their work or life experiences. We try to create content that is open, authentic and captures the essence of your brand values.
Events
We can film your event and create you a really nice commercial or documentary highlights reel, complemented by social media content your audiences will love to share. We shoot in the UK and abroad, filming coverage for brand events, corporate conferences, panel discussions and award ceremonies.
Animation
Substance works in collaboration with the talented animators at Roughcollie.tv to create engaging 2D and 3D animation, as well as integrated live action and animation content. We produce, direct and manage the overall production with the animator team for you, being responsible for the overall direction of your project and ensuring it ties into your brand values and communication objectives.

Ideas & Creative Strategy
We love to create ideas, it’s one of our favourite parts of the production process. Challenge us to a brief and let our creative juices flow or share your amazing idea and we’ll bring it to life.
Pre Production
Planning and process is an important part of any pre-production phase. We use our experience and contacts to organise actors, casting sessions, locations, permits and building the perfect crew quickly and cost effectively.
Filming
We employ the best, most passionate, creative video people to make your film happen. We source crew from a network of talent that we have developed over the years, commissioning individuals with particular skills and experience best suited to a particular brief.
Post Production
Before we’ve even shot the first scene, we will have already thought through the style of editing, music, graphics and grade to help inform our filming. We will involve you through all the stages to ensure you’re happy with the editing progress before final delivery.
Photography
We support the work we do as a creative video production company with commercial and editorial photography, and have experience shooting stills for a range of companies and agencies over the years. Have a peep at Mat Quake’s photography.
Part of the Team
The best work comes from knowing and understanding the people involved.We really do want to be an extension of your team, to better understand your brand and culture so the process becomes easier and more familiar for us both.
