I HAVEN'T PUT MY CAMERA DOWN SINCE 2013*
AWARD-WINNING
VIDEO PRODUCTION
FOR BRANDS & EVENTS
I'm Alex, a filmmaker / videographer from Essex with over a decade of experience, creating for brands and event companies, delivering scroll-stopping polished video content.
I make a point to support all levels of business from start-ups and independents to some of the most recognised global brands. I hone and adapt the visual storytelling to connect with their audience and spread their message in the best formats.
My client's say I make the process approachable, no frills and enjoyable and most importantly, streamlined. Throughout my career, I've worked mainly as a solo director-shooter-editor, this allows me to bring the same production value and consistency to each project without needing 15 crew members to create a high-end result.
With my content subscriptions, I give companies the opportunity to experiment and grow their visual marketing output over time without blowing their budget on a single project. It's transformational for brand awareness and gives the feed a glow up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Pre-production is where a great video takes shape, and getting the concept right from the start makes all the difference. I help guide the creative process, ensuring the idea aligns with your goals and resonates with your audience.
With experience in storytelling and an eye on industry trends, I offer insight to shape the most effective approach. Whether you need a concept built from scratch or just a little creative direction, I make sure we’re aligned early on so the final video feels both intentional and impactful.
I also work with agencies (yes, white label too!) to bring fully developed ideas to life with a cinematic touch. I've shot and edited big campaigns for FTSE 100 companies under the radar, but I won't name names for NDA's sake.
Every project is different and pricing reflects the scope and number of deliverables required.
For event recaps for example, we offer structured packages starting at £1,200, with costs varying based on filming time, edit length, and crew requirements.
Our content subscriptions begin at £1,750 per month, requiring a minimum of a 3-month commitment to deliver a consistent and strategic content rollout across stills and polished video clips.
The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get in touch—we’ll provide a bespoke quote tailored to your project’s needs.
Timelines vary depending on the scope of the project, but here’s a general breakdown:
- Pre-production typically takes a few weeks (we like a bit of notice before we pick up tools!), including an initial meeting, completing a brand or event profile and refining the plan. This phase may involve securing locations, booking talent, or even creating a phone-shot pre-vis edit to ensure alignment and get the creative sign off.
- Production can be as short as a single day or extend up to a week for more complex shoots across multiple locations with additional crew members.
- Post-production for shorter projects is usually completed within 7 working days, while more intricate edits with multiple deliverables may take 2-3 weeks from the shoot date.
For event coverage, I guarantee a polished first draft within one week of the shoot date and an add-on speedy turnaround option for those time sensitive release schedules.
I use high-quality full-frame mirrorless cameras that deliver exceptional image quality, perform well in low light (ideal for events) and support high-resolution 6K and 4K recording in various frame rates. These cameras are versatile enough for agile, gimbal-mounted shots or fully cine-rigged setups for more complex productions.
Beyond cameras, I have a full suite of professional gear, including monitors and mounts, pro-grade microphones (wired and wireless), autocue systems, lighting, and other tools to bring creative concepts to life.
If a project requires specialized equipment beyond my in-house kit, I source from trusted rental houses to ensure the best tools for the job.
Honestly, I rarely provide raw footage with the exception of digital agencies that require it for their own in-house post-production. For most projects, the final video is carefully crafted through editing, color grading, and sound design to achieve a polished, cohesive result.
That being said, if you need access to additional material, my ‘Selects’ deliverable add-on offers all usable A & B-roll from your project—fully color-graded, sound mixed and formatted in various aspect ratios. This is perfect for in-house reels, social media content, or marketing posts that need high-quality video to drive engagement. The only thing I ask is that my existing edit work stays intact, no quick-fix filters or redubbing sound please!
I also keep all project files archived, both in the cloud and on physical backup drives. If you ever want to refresh your website, update a hero film, or repurpose footage, I can retrieve the original files to maintain consistency and quality.
