Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based?

Howlett Film Ltd. is based in London, UK. As for Ella, we can’t answer that question without constantly updating this website. For example, she’s currently sat in a café in the Alps, France. C'est la vie. If you need to get a hold of her specifically, she’s always checking her emails: ella@howlettfilm.com

SO WAIT, YOU AREN’T WORKING WITH CLIENTS RIGHT NOW?

Quite the opposite. Howlett Film is still up and running – even though Ella personally might not be in the same country as you, 99% of the time we’ll be able to get your film done. We have a huge, talented pool of freelancers we can organise, direct and send on shoots, who will then upload the footage for us to finish the film off. With thanks to high-speed internet practically everywhere, this works and has been successful every time it’s been needed so far.

I HAVE FOOTAGE, can you JUST edit my film?

The answer is always, yes. With the wonderful help of the postal service and high-speed internet, we can edit your film from anywhere in the world. In fact, we’re more used to remote edit work than in-house. Get in touch if you’d like help or have questions.

KIT?

Take a look at our Work page, the films speak for themselves on the quality we strive for with kit.

On shoot, we either hire equipment based on the project, or we’ll get you a videographer with excellent kit included. Either way, we’ll sort it. You can sit back and relax.

Specifically though, the cameras range from GoPros to Sony A7SIII to Canon C300iii to Arri Alexa Mini. The most used one being A7SIII, which affordably suits the majority’s needs.

In terms of post-production, we have very fast computers and lots (and lots) of SSDs. Again, we’ve got this. Relax.

RATES?

Rates vary from project to project. If you’d like to get an estimate, please get in touch.

What software do you USE?

The Adobe Suite. Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Lightroom, Audition. Also DaVinci Resolve.

Can you find licensed music to put on my video?

Yes – we have access to multiple music libraries, of which we are fully licensed to use for your films.
