I’m a filmmaker based in Oxford.

Website film and photoshoot for Vans For Bands Ltd – the largest transport supplier for the music industry in the UK

With a focus on producing low budget, fast turnaround films, I work with individuals and organisations in Oxford and beyond.

Using drones and professional cameras, I create films which engage and inform viewers.

Here’s what to expect from the filmmaking process

Photoshoot on the River Cherwell (Oxford)

Project Kick-off

At the outset, I engage clients in a comprehensive discussion to understand their vision, objectives, and preferences. Then, an estimate film cost can be agreed.

Film Day(s)

Following a general shot list, I capture the footage required for the project. Your input here is greatly valued, as it’s a dynamic process.

Feedback & Editing

Client input is paramount. I seek feedback on the first, second (and sometimes third) edits. This collaborative approach ensures the final film surpasses expectations.

Final Film

With a finalised film in hand, I invoice you for the work. Then the film (and all the raw footage) can be transferred to you, for your unlimited use.
