You don't need video.
You need effective video.
Revel is a Norfolk video production company working with clients across agriculture, manufacturing, technology, tourism and professional services.
​
There are over fifteen years behind this. Tom came up through every production role at Mustard TV and then built and led the video team at Archant before starting Revel, and the team has made films for Royal London, Anglian Water and Norfolk County Council.
​
What they have in common is wanting video that does a real job. Something that explains, tells a story, or persuades. Not just something that looks nice in a meeting.
​
That's the work we're set up to do, and the work we enjoy most.
What we make.
Brand films
The piece that lives on your homepage or runs at the top of a pitch. Honest storytelling that shows who you are and what you stand for, without resorting to drone shots of empty offices.
Case study & story films
Real customers, talking honestly about their experience with you. Putting people at ease is something we're often booked for, because it's how you get the moments that actually sell. Short interviews, on-location B-roll, edited to feel natural rather than corporate.
Campaign and hero films
Bigger productions built around a specific launch, season or moment. We handle concept, crew, shoot and edit, often working alongside your existing marketing or agency team.
Event Coverage
From conferences and award ceremonies to community open days. We cover the day calmly, get the moments that matter, and turn the footage into a highlight film you'll use long after the night itself.
Vlogs and regular content
For clients who want more than a one-off, we create multi-part series. The look, voice and pace stay consistent across the run.
TV and Broadcast
When the piece needs to clear broadcast standards, we'll handle the technical specs, colour grade and delivery. We've helped many clients take their content from concept all the way through to broadcast.
"Revel Studios were a dream to work with. Tom quickly made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, in fact we hardly noticed he was there. The film he made is brilliant, I can’t recommend Revel Studios enough."

How we work.
A video project should feel manageable from day one. Here's roughly how it goes.
1
A proper conversation
We start with a call to understand what you're trying to achieve, who it's for, where it needs to live and when you need it by. The questions are sharp, not generic, so we don't waste your time.
2
A clear plan and quote
You get a written proposal covering approach, deliverables, timeline and a fixed cost, so there are no surprises later. If something needs to change mid-project, we'll tell you before it does.
3
Pre-production
Scripting, storyboarding, location recces, talent briefing, scheduling. We do the legwork so the shoot day runs to time and everyone knows where they need to be.
4
The shoot
Small, professional crews. Calm on set. We get genuine and relaxed performances out of people who don't think of themselves as "on-camera," which is most people.
5
The edit
A first cut, then the amends. Most jobs land in two or three rounds, and if one needs a lot more than that it is usually because we did not ask enough questions at the start, so we put it right at our cost. You'll have a single point of contact throughout, and you'll never be left wondering where things are.
6
Delivery
Final files in every format you need: broadcast, web, social, vertical, captioned. Plus advice on how to get the most out of them once they're live.
7
Aftercare
The content we captured for you, is yours. We help you rethink different ways to use it and re-use it to make sure you get the most out of your investment.
"He took some ramblings and turned it into something really quite wonderful. He has the ability to set people at ease and to get them to share their thoughts and views, as well as then editing it into a film with maximum impact."

Why teams come back to Revel.
We're incredibly proud to have so many clients return to us regularly for video production. We look after everybody on a job, clients, interviewees and members of the public alike, and it's a big part of why most of our clients come back.
We put people at ease on camera.
Most of the people you'll want to feature don't film for a living. We chat for a while before we start rolling, and people relax into it once they forget the camera is there.
We start with strategy, then move to craft.
A nice-looking film that doesn't serve the brief is just expensive wallpaper. We work out what the piece needs to do first, then design around that.
We're a steady hand on set.
We plan it properly, so the day runs calmly and the invoice is the number we agreed. Many of our clients book us repeatedly because the experience itself is straightforward.
We're local, and we travel.
Based just outside Norwich, with regular work across East Anglia, London and the rest of the UK. We plan travel sensibly so it doesn't inflate your costs or our footprint.
