Andrew R.

HBO, BBC, SEMrush, Renault. 900+ videos delivered, 100% Job Success Score. Two channels monetised in under a month. Twice. Our own network pulls over a million views a month. And not one of them booked me for the equipment. The kit is lovely, by the way. Cinema cameras, broadcast audio, twelve realistic backdrops to pick from. It all earns its keep. It is also the least interesting thing on me. Big industry names do not hand a stranger like me their brand because he can talk to a lens. Anyone can do that after ten minutes of encouragement and a coffee. They hand it over because of the ten years behind it. Ten years of turning up. Tens of thousands of hours, most of them spent finding my own mistakes before a client ever had to. In every shooting situation this job can invent. Studios at six in the morning. Kitchens, boardrooms, and one car park in the rain because the location fell through an hour before call time. Every niche, every product category, every idea somebody was completely certain about at eleven at night. All of it under my UK production company, Kraken Media. A decade teaches you one thing above all the rest. The video is never the beginning. It turns up long after the founder's vision, after the offer got argued over, after days of working out what this thing is actually for and who is supposed to want it. So my job starts there, not on the shoot day. Before a camera comes out, I come with the marketing plan, analyze it, and work with it. Who this is aimed at, where the video sits in the funnel, what your buyer already believes, and the objection you keep hearing on sales calls. And having seen this go wrong in every direction, I can usually spot the turn before it arrives. The hook that dies in the first two seconds or the claim that gets your ad rejected… Better to fix that on the page than on the shoot day, when it costs you a week you did not have. That is what we do at Kraken Media. My team and I study your product, research your audience, learn your brand, then script, film, edit, and handle motion graphics and sound design. You get polished, ready-to-publish content without running a group chat full of freelancers. The aim is to make you bank, not to dent it. Every video is filmed in our professional studio with cinema cameras, broadcast audio, and your choice of 12+ realistic digital backdrops. Corporate, casual, warm, or urgent, I match the tone, wardrobe, and background to your brand rather than my showreel. And if your audience trusts a kitchen table more than a studio, we shoot the kitchen table. And here is exactly why HBO, BBC, SEMrush, and Renault trust me with their stuff: Spokesperson and presenter videos. Corporate promos, explainers, talking heads, brand ambassador content, and testimonial-style work. Video ads and VSLs. Conversion-focused ad creative for Meta, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn. We research, script, film and edit. Performance guarantee included. eLearning and course content. Presenter-led training videos with clean editing and on-screen graphics. 92.65% of the people who hire me hire me again. Over half of my clients here stay past ninety days, and that is the number I would be looking at if I were you, because anybody can be good once. Ten years in this business, and I have met most of it. Watched a lot of people arrive with a ring light and a plan and be gone by Christmas. Every one of them turned up saying the same thing. It is only talking to a camera. The camera usually settles that argument by lunchtime. Message me and tell me what you are building. Let's get the cameras rolling.
