Testimonial and case study videos your prospects actually believe
21 Degrees Digital is a Leeds testimonial video production team, filming the customer stories that close deals. Real clients, on camera, saying the thing your sales page can't. Then we cut every film for the channels it needs to work on, put it in front of the right buyers, and measure what it moves.
What a video testimonial does that a written quote can't
Testimonial video production is simple: a real customer, on camera, telling the truth about working with you. It's the most believable asset in your marketing, because for once you're not the one doing the talking.
Trust you can't fake
A face, a voice and a real company name beat a wall of five stars. Prospects believe people, not copy.
Sales enablement, not shelf-ware
Your team sends the film mid-deal, right where prospects hesitate. It answers the objection before the next call.
Works in search as well as sales
Case study videos give Google and AI search something to cite. Proof content ranks, and it keeps pulling leads long after the shoot wraps.
One shoot, a whole library out
The hero film, the LinkedIn cutdowns, the site embeds and the stills. Every format each channel needs.
A case study video production company that also runs the marketing
Most video companies deliver the film and disappear. 21 Degrees is a full brand and performance agency with its own crew, so your film gets briefed from audience data, deployed on the channels we already run for clients, and measured on pipeline rather than view counts. That's Audience First Outcome Marketing: where performance meets brand, proven through data.

Why us
Filmed for the shelf, or filmed to sell?
Plenty of agencies treat video case study production as a vanity exercise. Lovely film, no plan, no numbers. Here's how we're different.
Briefed from the hesitation point
We find where buyers stall in your pipeline and brief the film to answer exactly that. The story is chosen by data, not by whoever's most available.
Interviews that feel human
No scripts, no teleprompter voice. We prep your customer, ask the right questions and let them talk. The edit does the rest.
Cut for every surface
A hero film for the site, verticals for social, thirty-second clips for sales emails and a quote card for the deck. One shoot in, a proof library out.
Deployed and measured
We run the social feeds, the paid media and the SEO your film lives in, then report what it moved. Replies, leads and revenue, not view counts.
A video testimonial service is only as good as what happens after delivery. So the plan covers the whole journey, not just the shoot day.
Find the friction
We dig into your pipeline and pick the customer story that answers your buyers' biggest hesitation.
01
Recruit the customer
We approach your client, handle the logistics and make saying yes easy. Most people are happy to help a business they rate.
02
Prep, don't script
A short call before the shoot so your customer knows what to expect. Real answers beat rehearsed lines every time.
03
Shoot it properly
Cinema cameras, proper lighting and sound, and b-roll of the work itself. A relaxed set gets the honest take.
04
Cut it for everywhere
The main film plus the social verticals, sales clips and stills, each edited for where it'll actually play.
05
Deploy and measure
On your site, in the sales inbox, across social and search. Then we tell you in plain English what it moved.
06
Pricing
Simple, honest pricing
Same straight numbers as the rest of our video team. Most testimonial films are a half day of filming plus a half day in the edit. Case study films usually want a full day of each. Either way, you get the exact number before anything's booked.
Add-ons like colour grade, licensed music and drone are quoted on top, and we'll tell you what they cost up front.

What's the difference between a testimonial video and a case study video?
A testimonial video is your customer on camera saying why they'd recommend you. Short, emotional, trust-first. A case study video tells the fuller story: the problem, what was done and the results, usually with numbers. Most businesses want both, and video testimonial production and case study filming usually share the same shoot day.
How much does a testimonial video cost?
Most testimonial films start around £1,000. That's a half day of filming at £550 plus a half day in the edit at £450. Fuller case study films start around £1,700 with a full day of each. Add-ons like drone or licensed music are quoted up front.
Will my customers actually agree to be filmed?
Almost always, yes. We handle the ask, the logistics and the prep call, and we keep the shoot relaxed. For most customers it's a chance to look good on camera and promote their own business at the same time.
How long does it take, and how long should the film be?
Book around four weeks ahead, and from the shoot most projects land within 14 days. On length: 60 to 90 seconds does the job for a testimonial, while a case study film earns two to three minutes, plus short cutdowns for social and sales.
Where should I actually use them?
Everywhere your buyers hesitate. Service pages, case studies, sales emails, proposals, LinkedIn, paid social and YouTube. Video proof also helps you get found, because it ranks in search and gives AI engines something to cite. If you want the search side done properly, that's exactly what our GEO (AI search) team does.
