About our video work

Film work for weddings, athletes and brands. Some things do not survive being frozen: a vow said out loud, the noise a room makes, the way somebody moves when they are very good at what they do. The frames in this collection are from behind the scenes on a recent studio shoot.

We shoot video the same way we shoot stills, to the brief you set rather than to a template. That can be a short cinematic piece built around music with very little talking, a documentary cut that lets the audio carry it, or a straight record of the whole thing end to end. Most people want some combination, so we usually deliver a short film and a longer cut.

Audio is where most video goes wrong, so it is treated as seriously as the picture. Lapel microphones on anyone speaking, a feed from the desk where there is one, and a backup recorder running the whole time. There is no fixing a vow nobody recorded.

Everything comes back with vertical cuts alongside the main film, because most of it is going to be watched on a phone whatever anybody planned.
