At Digital Finch, we’re passionate about creating impactful video content for the education sector.
We understand educators’ unique challenges and opportunities in engaging students and delivering great learning experiences. This is why educational institutions trust us to create videos that showcase their unique offerings in an exciting and welcoming way.
As a professional video production company, we use our rich experience working with the education sector and educational providers like educational charities, learning providers and educational technology. We combine this with our extensive skills to enhance student engagement with video and attract new students and staff. Whether it’s through filmed video like an About Us or an explainer animation – or even a mixed approach.
We’ve worked with young people & students professionally and through our volunteer work for well over a decade, teaching young people and creating content that’s exciting and connects.

BRAND VIDEO
A powerful About Us-style video for your school, college, or university can be a great boost and wow website visitors and open-day visitors. It’s your opportunity to showcase your unique identity, values, and achievements.
We’ll work closely with you to tell your story through high-end visuals and inspiring stories. Whether we’re highlighting exceptional teaching staff, showcasing student achievements, or capturing life on campus and high-tech facilities, we’ll create a video that leaves a lasting impression.
By combining live-action footage filmed at your institution with bespoke and well branded graphics and animations, we can bring your organisation to life and inspire future students, parents, and stakeholders.
We can also often make short social media edits of longer form brand videos for sharing on the platforms students love to visit in a way that’s most engaging
ANIMATED VIDEO
Our small but highly skilled team of animators and designers have wide experience creating engaging and informative animated videos tailored to the education sector – working in both 2D and 3D.
Explainer Animation offers a versatile and impactful way to convey complex concepts clearly and in an easy-to-understand way. Animation also safeguards vulnerable young people where filming may not be possible by telling their powerful stories but anonymising the subjects.
We understand the importance of creating content that connects with students of all ages. We tailor illustration and design styles for your audience, from more playful and engaging animations for younger learners to informative and more complex concept videos for higher education.
TESTIMONIAL OR CASE STUDY VIDEO
Showcasing the impact of your educational programs is essential for building trust and inspiring future students and colleagues. We film all around the UK and beyond, creating powerful testimonials and case study videos that highlight the experiences of your students, faculty, and alumni.
We can create live action filmed videos that connect by capturing a range of stories and emotions, showing how your guidance, support and expert staff help every day. Our experienced team will work closely with you to develop a clear story, conduct thoughtful interviews, and film with high-end professional visual and audio equipment. We will then combine this with meticulous editing and post-production, music and standard graphics to create a professional case study with an emotional impact.
Whether you want to showcase student success stories, highlight innovative teaching methods, or demonstrate the value of your institution, our testimonials and case study videos will help you achieve your goals.
Accessibility is important to us. We aim to create accessible content that caters to diverse learning styles. We’re passionate about creating content that everyone can experience and enjoy. As standard, we offer English subtitles free of charge for every educational video production. We follow official guidance on colour contrast and typography sizing in our design process and use our rich design experience to ensure that it can be seen and understood as much as possible.
We are passionate about inclusivity and also have created productions with young people themselves, guiding them through process and with them giving their input and ideas throughout to create a video that feels like them and appeals to other young people.
We can also localise videos into other languages to make them more accessible to people who speak English as a second or third language. We can create videos in any language, we’ve recently worked with Arabic, French, Greek, Spanish, Pashto and many more.
We use transcription, professional human translation, and meticulous editing to make the video feel native to each language and not an afterthought, with all on-screen text localised and any spoken voice re recorded and edited.
As a lower cost option, we can also provide professional foreign language subtitles, so that the viewer may choose their specific language within the video player and read the subtitles.
Video is also a flexible solution for training or education as students can access videos anytime, anywhere, and at their own pace, accommodating diverse schedules and learning preferences.
After a full briefing, we write a creative video script that aligns with your objectives and start to work on the art direction. The script is an important base to create an educational video with impact.
From the approved script, we develop a detailed storyboard for the video; this is where
we describe what we will want to see for each sentence or meaning – a written story of
the video.
For our live-action video productions, We film with a 2 person crew. We’re friendly and hard-working. We can film anywhere, in studios, on your campus or at home if it’s a remote service.
We have high-end professional equipment – allowing us to capture a wide range of shots that
showcase the environment, facilities, and high-quality audio of any speakers.
For our animated video productions, we go onto illustrate the storyboard in full so you can envisage the video and see the entire flow before we animate. If we’re creating a video with supplied footage, we’ll also show you the intended look when combined with graphics.
This is where the video comes to life, we edit or animate the video and tie it all seamlessly together to create your story. Providing a fully polished video, complete with music, voiceover and post production.
Delivery is short and sweet, most of our videos are horizontal, but if you want a vertical version then we will create that. We also supply English captions free of charge for accessibility.

Our video production studio is based in Wigan, Greater Manchester in the UK, but our team regularly film all over the UK and beyond, distance is no problem for us.
We can film your staff and students at your premises or film at several campuses to create a bigger picture. Our friendly sensitive camera crew and directors make everyone feel at ease and we’re experienced in regards to safeguarding and filming in educational settings. Our creative director volunteered for 6 years teaching arts to young people of all abilities.
Our filming kit can range from the small and nifty, capturing as much as we can on a nimble rig, to larger equipment including full lighting and a studio set.
For larger productions, for example, a more conceptual style promo video, we can include a full cast of actors, or a presenter, and offer location and studio hire.
Recently we’ve been lucky to work with many educational establishments including, primary and secondary schools, universities and colleges and supporting educations providers, educational charities and informal learning providers.
