Services

I work across filming, story planning and full project delivery.

​

Some projects need a safe, experienced shooter.

​

Others need help shaping the story before filming begins.

​

Many benefit from a joined-up approach across both.

​

Below is a deeper look at how clients typically work with me.

Self Shooting
Producer/ Director

Confident, story-aware filming for documentary, sport and branded productions.

​

This service is built around:

  • Cinematic, story-driven shooting and sequence building

  • Editorial direction shaped on location, not in hindsight

  • Confident interviewing and contributor management

  • Calm, practical production decisions on the ground

​

​

Footage is captured as part of deliberate visual sequences, with structure and continuity in mind.

 

Alongside filming, interviews are guided to serve the story, contributors are put at ease, and decisions are made in real time about what matters and what does not.

​

This approach suits projects that need someone who can shoot solo or lead a small team, keep things moving on location, and return with material that is both visually strong and editorially clear.

Story Planning
& Development

Turning ideas and commissions into clear, filmable stories with a plan to match.

​

This service is built around:

​

  • Shaping a clear narrative before filming begins

  • Defining what the film is actually about

  • Translating ideas into a structured plan to shoot

  • Giving projects direction, confidence and focus

​

This service is for teams who know what they want to make a film about, but need help turning that into a story that works on screen.

​

The focus is on defining the narrative early, deciding how it should unfold, and creating a clear plan so filming starts with intent rather than guesswork.

 

The outcome is a shoot with purpose, a story that holds together, and a film that knows what it wants to be from the start.

YouTube Films

& Full Project Delivery

End-to-end filmmaking, shaped specifically for YouTube.

This service brings together:

​

  • Story development and narrative planning

  • Filming and direction with platform awareness

  • Editorial decisions made for YouTube viewing behaviour

  • One point of responsibility from idea to delivery

​

This service is for projects that need a YouTube film that works as a piece of storytelling, not just content.

​

The story is shaped with the platform in mind from the outset. That thinking guides how the film is planned, how it is shot, and how it is edited, with attention paid to pacing, structure and attention.

 

The result is a film that holds viewers, feels intentional, and still benefits from documentary craft.
