Additional Services
Beyond our flagship documentary and stakeholder engagement work, we offer a range of complementary services to support your broader video communications. From meaningful event coverage to empowering your team with in‑house skills and studio solutions, these services are designed to help your organisation connect consistently and with confidence.
In‑House Production Training
Filming & Editing
Empower your team to create professional‑looking video content in‑house. We provide practical, hands‑on training in filming, lighting, sound, and editing—tailored to your organisation’s needs and resources. Whether it’s capturing updates for members, creating social clips, or recording internal communications, our training ensures your team has the skills and confidence to produce content that reflects your organisation at its best.
Business Events Coverage
Videography & Photography
Your events are more than a moment in time—they’re a chance to connect, inspire, and build trust with your stakeholders. Our event coverage goes beyond basic documentation to capture the real impact of your gatherings, creating a library of visual content that can be shared with members, reported to funders, and used to tell your story long after the event ends. From keynote highlights and attendee interviews to polished photography, we turn events into lasting engagement assets.
Studio Advisory
Podcast‑Style Video Comms
For organisations looking to deliver regular video messages, member updates, or even podcast‑style content, an in‑house studio can be a game changer. We help you plan and set up a simple, professional studio space, from room selection and acoustic treatment to lighting, camera gear, and workflow. With our guidance, you can produce polished, repeatable content with minimal fuss, turning your office into a reliable communication hub.
Freelance Camera & Editing Support
Simon Baker
Sometimes you just need an experienced professional to slot into your team and get the job done right. Simon Baker offers freelance camera and editing support for agencies, production houses, and organisations that need high‑quality shooting or post‑production without the overhead of a full crew.
