Film Production Agency in London
Curious Crab: Your Production Agency in Central London
Curious Crab Productions are a multi-talented, experienced, and diverse team of videographers, animators, producers, and directors conveniently based in London's Covent Garden. Like our spirit animals, we are adaptable, resilient, and fiercely fashionable.
Our in-house kitchen filming studio has produced content for some of the leading brands in the food industry. Our passion for making top-shelf and deliciously captivating videography is our secret sauce. We've partnered with some of the most well-known companies in food and drink and helped launch new and exciting companies that are keen to use the power of social media to tell their story and boost their brands to record heights.
We used this very studio to launch the YouTube channel for our sister company, School of Wok. Our videos have clocked up over 25 million views, and the channel boasts over 430,000 subscribers. This first-hand experience growing a food brand through high-quality video content and photography sets us apart from the competition. Our creative process has been tried and tested, and it's safe to say we have an excellent recipe for success.
Our central London hub makes reaching us easy-peasy, but if you need it, our studios are fully portable, so we can bring our in-house magic to wherever you need it to go. We're always looking to challenge ourselves and find creative solutions to our clients' needs.
Feeling curious? We’d love to hear from you.
Our Approach
The creative process always starts with us getting to know your company and brand. Digital marketing is all about storytelling and using visual content to attract potential customers to your products and services by making them connect to you.
We pride ourselves on our ability to innovatively use photography and video to communicate the message of our clients' brands. This means we help you tell potential customers who you are and why you do what you do in a way that resonates with audiences everywhere and gets them hooked!
Our crew are seasoned pros in managing all the logistics of planning, creating and delivering effective, unique, quality video projects.
To help you understand how we achieve this, let's take a look at our process:
- Brand Exploration
- Guide Price & Quotes
- Creative Briefing & Storyboarding
- Production
- Feedback & Delivery
Depending on the brief and how quickly we get started on the storyboarding process, filming and production usually take between 4-6 weeks from start to finish. In some cases, it could be faster thanks to our central London base, which means we can deliver local customers' projects at a lightning-fast speed.
Every video campaign we work on is bespoke and requires our full creative collaboration, so some projects may take longer.
However, we pride ourselves on transparency and building trust with our clients and will always go out of our way to ensure you have regularly updated and clear timelines in mind.
This means we'll always let you know of any unforeseen delays or unexpected complications during the process.

Harnessing the power of the digital supermarket shelf
Brand awareness, lead generation and a solid digital marketing strategy are all essential parts of any modern business journey but also some of the trickiest ones to get to grips with.
In an era where the world is swamped with marketing content and social media platforms from where to host it, it can be challenging to know where to start. Navigating this media minefield requires an experienced team who thrives on providing proven and creative solutions for a wide range of project briefs.
Luckily, consumer demand for food and drink-related video content is growing astronomically and showing no signs of stopping. This means leveraging the power of video marketing is the single most effective type of content all brands need to have if they want to exist in a competitive market and give themselves an edge. Having successfully personally navigated this journey ourselves and with our growing list of happy, satisfied and returning clients, we are confident in our abilities to demystify and guide companies through the process of creating videos for their digital marketing campaigns.
Curious? Let’s work together.

Are You a Spontaneous or Curious Crab?
We understand that every customer of ours may be at a completely different stage in their wants and needs in terms of content production. Quite often, if at the start of the journey, it’s hard to know where to start. With this in mind, we tend to split our work into short-term and long-term digital content production.
-
If you are at the beginning of your brand journey and haven’t really used video campaigns for your brand before, but feel that you need to try video out to see what’s possible, perhaps starting the journey with the simplest form of food or travel videos are a safe testing ground for you.
Top down, short form video content has become very popular in the last few years and can be turned around professionally, quickly and efficiently by our Curious Crab Production team.
Here are the types of simple production we consider more spontaneous and ad-hoc in our Curious Crab production world:
Short & sharp recipes videos
Simple online advertising videos
Simple Video Animations of logos and pre-existing brand assets
Simple 1 minute social media videos
-
If you feel you have dabbled in the spontaneous and ad-hoc video production for a while and perhaps feel more like a “wandering crab” who has perhaps lost a bit of direction, and are searching for some guidance on how to turn your natural crab-like curiosity towards an impactful long-term video strategy that amplifies your brand, business and social media channels, then you may want to consider more of our in-depth video strategy services.
If digital content is already a key driver to the growth of your brand, our collaborative approach to the video and content production consultancy services that we offer are likely to be far more beneficial to your marketing teams and campaigns.
