What we do

We make advertising and marketing content for multinational global companies and small businesses too. We have a dedicated studio facility nestled in the woods in Farnham, Surrey. But what we actually do is solve problems for our clients. Listen well and make our clients feel part of a team with us.

Campaigns & commercials

We have a breath of experience in managing projects that run right across the marketing content requirement. Outputs include TV, banners ads, VOD, carousels, paid ads, bumpers and social assets. Often delivered from a single shoot.

Corporate videos

At From The Hip we leverage the Ultimate Brief  and guide our clients through a well honed process that gives clarity and provides a structure to idea generation of Corporate films.

Explainer & how-to videos

Explainer and how to videos are our bread and butter. This is one of the areas FTH really have a point of difference vs other video companies as we leverage our studio, the team around us and the in-house kit to smash this content, so it is the very best in the world (literally check out the Delonghi How to Channel).

Event videos

Filming events often requires a cool head - there is no margin for error here. FTH love a bit of fast-paced, challenging action and a super creative edit too.

Animation

Being bold and vibrant, it's often the most effective way to convey your message while keeping your audience entertained. Our FTH team of talented designers and animators ensures that we deliver stunning designs at competitive prices.

Photography

Whether you need event, product, or lifestyle photography, we have the perfect photographer for you. If our in-house team isn't the right fit, we'll collaborate with a group of talented professionals who deliver outstanding results.

Drone filming

Our drone filming service brings a dynamic, high-impact perspective to any project, allowing for breathtaking aerial shots that enhance storytelling and visual appeal. Whether you're showcasing a large-scale event, capturing outdoor scenes, or adding a cinematic touch to a product reveal, drone footage elevates the quality and immersiveness of your video, giving your brand the edge it needs to stand out.

Property filming

We recently celebrated 10 years of working with George Clark and one of the countries top property developers / renovation experts City and Country.

Education videos

Putting people that are unfamiliar with being in front of the camera is critical to getting exceptional results for this sector. And some creative genius 🙂

We utilise an extensive talent pool and work with international brands ensuring our films are easy to understand reducing any language barriers.

Pharmaceutical videos

We work alongside specialist agencies within this sector supplying white label filming and production services. However , we are equally comfortable working directly too.
