Full Service Video Production

As a freelance filmmaker & videographer operating in London, UK - I offer full-service video production services. My goal is to safely guide your project from its initial concept to a refined final film. Here are the three key stages of production I handle:

  • This critical stage sets the foundation for a successful shoot. With careful planning and coordination, I can help you develop the concept, conduct essential research, scout locations and plan the shoot schedule.

    This meticulous preparation ensures that every element aligns perfectly with your vision, whether for smaller independent shoots or large-scale productions.

  • Utilising state-of-the-art 4K camera equipment and techniques, my team and I capture high-quality video and audio. Depending on the project’s needs, I can operate equally well as a self-shooting video producer or as a director overseeing a full crew, ensuring that each shot perfectly captures the intended message and tone.

  • This final stage is where the footage really comes to life through expert editing, colour grading, and sound design. From adding the right music to integrating graphics and effects, I tailor each element to enhance the narrative impact. This process culminates in a polished final product that resonates deeply with its intended audience.

    Beyond the core stages of video production, I can also provide your video tailored for different social media platforms. This ensures that your content is not only high quality but also optimised for engagement across all desired platforms.

I am also available as a camera operator, dop, drone pilot, and video editor. If you're uncertain about the scope of your project, I'm always ready to discuss your ideas and provide guidance.

Count Me In
Netflix Documentary

From heartbeat to backbeat, caveman to techno rave man, rhythm has driven our world for centuries. We journey with a cast of drummers, to discover the joy and exhilaration of a life dedicated to driving the beat. In their own words, we share the passion that has taken them from banging on pots and pans as kids, to playing on some of the world's biggest stages. Along the way, they pay tribute to the drummers that have influenced them, including the likes of Ringo, Charlie Watts, Keith Moon, John Bonham and Ginger Baker. You can have rhythm without music but you can't have music without rhythm.
