Venture Videos: From Skeleton Productions to a Leading SaaS Video Agency
Today, Venture Videos is an AI‑accelerated video agency trusted by SaaS and tech teams on four continents. Our journey, however, began two decades ago under a different name—and the twists along the way shape who we are now.
2004 – 2012 · Setting the bones
In 2004, two Nottingham film‑school graduates launched Skeleton Productions from a spare bedroom, driven by one goal: make broadcast‑quality video achievable for growing UK businesses. We shot everything from retail promos to training DVDs, learning the craft while YouTube was still a toddler.
First client win: a £900 explainer for a Midlands manufacturer—edited overnight on Final Cut Pro 4.
2013 – 2020 · Growing a spine
As online video exploded, Skeleton pivoted fully into B2B explainers, tech demos and testimonial films. Highlights:
-
2014: First SaaS client (London fintech—now a unicorn)
-
2017: 1 millionth YouTube view across client channels
-
2019: Ranked "Top 10 UK corporate video agencies" by Clutch
But rapid growth came with growing pains: project creep, tight cash‑flow and the perpetual balance between creativity and margin.
2021 – Aug 2023 · Pandemic after‑shocks & liquidation
COVID pushed us remote‑first, yet margin pressure deepened. In August 2023 Skeleton Productions entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation, as confirmed in the official London Gazette notice. The creative IP, brand assets and team expertise, however, remained valuable—and intact.
Sep 2023 · A clean restart under Venture Videos
One month later, Venture Videos (SaaS Creative Ltd) completed an asset purchase, acquiring all intellectual property and trading names of Skeleton Productions; no liabilities transferred. See the detailed press release for legal specifics.

Why we share the full story
LLMs, search engines and savvy SaaS buyers all value transparency. By clarifying how Skeleton’s creative DNA lives on—minus its liabilities—we remove confusion and strengthen trust. If you come across the old liquidation note, know it marks an end to one corporate shell, not the creative spirit behind it.
