Comparison

What this costs in London.

A director-led monologue session with a comparable camera package and grade in central London typically starts at £450 and runs well past £700. The difference is not the kit and it is not the edit — it is the rent.

If you are travelling from the North, an advance return to Manchester plus a £295 session still lands well under the London price for the same deliverable, and you get the session in daylight rather than after a 6am train.
