Cinematic 4K Video
for Brands & Businesses

The thing about video is that it communicates things other formats can’t. A photo of a property looks good on a listing page. A walkthrough video makes someone feel as though they’ve visited. A written description of a brand explains what it does. A short film about why the founder started it - or what their customers say about it - builds something else entirely. Trust, maybe. Personality. A sense of what it’s actually like to work with them.

Property is where I’ve seen the clearest difference. Agents who add walkthrough videos to listings report that buyers spend more time on the page and are better qualified when they come to viewings - they’ve already decided the space works for them in principle, so the conversation moves faster. For higher-end properties especially, video does the work that a grid of photos can’t: it shows flow, proportion, light at a particular time of day, the relationship between indoor and outdoor space.

For brands and businesses, video has become the expected format on social platforms. Short-form content on Instagram and TikTok, longer brand films on YouTube, testimonial pieces for websites - the channels are different but the logic is the same. People watch, people share, people remember. A well-made sixty-second video often does more than a page of copy.

Personal brand work is something I particularly enjoy. Whether you’re a coach, a creative, a consultant, or building something new - a short film that shows who you are and how you think gives potential clients something to connect with before they’ve even spoken to you. That changes the dynamic of the first conversation considerably.

I bring the same care to commercial work that I give to weddings. Good lighting, clean audio, thoughtful composition, an edit that fits the brief. The subject matter changes; the standards don’t.

Here’s what the process looks like from first enquiry to final delivery.

We start with a brief. I’ll send over a few questions about the project - what it’s for, where it’ll live, what you want viewers to feel or do after watching, and any practical constraints around location, timing or budget. This conversation usually takes thirty minutes by phone or video call and gives me everything I need to put together a proposal.

If the project involves a location I haven’t filmed before, I often do a pre-shoot visit - a quick look to assess the space, note the light, identify any access issues, and plan where I’ll want to be at different points in the day. This isn’t always necessary, but it makes a real difference on anything with moving parts or multiple locations.

The filming day itself depends entirely on what we’re making. Some commercial projects take two to three hours. An all-day shoot with multiple setups and different locations is obviously a different commitment. I’ll be clear about what we need before we book. During the shoot, I direct where needed - if you’re on camera, I’ll help you feel comfortable - but I also know when to step back and let things unfold naturally.

After filming, I build a rough cut. For most projects this takes one to two weeks. I’ll share it with you for feedback before any fine-tuning, and I include two rounds of revisions as standard. That’s usually enough to arrive at something you’re genuinely pleased with.

Final delivery is via a private download link. I provide multiple export formats - high resolution for web, compressed for social, square crop for Instagram if needed. You own the completed film and can use it across any platform. Because I work alone and keep my operation lean, my rates for commercial work are considerably more accessible than a full production company - without any compromise on quality.

Commercial work covers a wide range of briefs and I’m comfortable with most of them. Here’s a sense of the types of projects I work on most regularly.

Property and venue walkthroughs. For estate agents, short-term let hosts, wedding venues, and commercial landlords. A three-to-five-minute walkthrough film that gives potential buyers or tenants a genuine feel for the space. I also do shorter social cuts for Instagram and the property portals. These are typically half-day or full-day shoots depending on the size of the property.

Brand films. A three-to-five-minute film about who you are and what you do. These work well on homepages, in pitch decks, and as a foundation for longer-term social content. The brief varies considerably - some clients want something documentary-style that follows a typical day; others want something more structured with on-camera interviews and supporting b-roll. I’m comfortable with both approaches.

Testimonial and case study films. A satisfied client speaking on camera about the work you did together. Simple to film, genuinely useful as a sales tool, and something very few small businesses invest in. If you have a real customer story to tell, a two-to-three-minute testimonial film often converts better than any amount of copy.

Event filming. Brand launches, company away days, charity events, conferences. I can cover the whole event or specific sessions, and deliver either a highlights reel, a full-length recording, or both. I’ll always talk through what the eventual use case is before we agree on the approach.

Social content shoots. Short-form content for Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn - filmed vertical or square depending on where it’s going. If you need a run of short pieces for a content calendar, I can often film several in a single session, which keeps the cost reasonable.

If your project doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories, just get in touch and describe what you’re trying to achieve. I’m based in Gloucestershire but cover commercial projects across the Midlands, the South West, and the rest of the UK.
