Creative Storytelling

Capturing Essence

Our Showcase

Sparta Quinn is a self initiated short documentary about the life and work of Quinn, an artist hailing from Dundee. In creating this documentary I captured video, conducted interviews, scouted for locations, procured studio space for the artist, edited the footage and am now in the process of submitting it into film festivals.

Adam Ross

I started working with Adam Ross during lockdown whilst filming a series of live music performances called The Isolation Sessions. From there our relationship grew from just the two of us in St Cyrus Nature Reserve to filming a documentary about his first solo album and, most recently, filming a live session with a full band and a five camera set up.

Let The Roll - North Berwick Skate Park

I am always thinking of ways to make videos stand out. With the opening of North Berwick Skate Park, I used a mixture of photographs quickly edited together, slow motion video footage, and the blue prints of the park blended over the footage which adds a sporadic scribble but also a sense of place.
All of this is curated with a speech from a local resident who was integral to completion of the park itself. It is a self contained piece.

ScrapAntics

ScrapAntics offered Quinn and myself a studio space for the duration of filming the documentary Sparta Quinn. They offered this for free and, as a thank you, I offered to make a short video for them.
This video includes footage from several other pieces of film they had made over the years, which shows how varied and wide spread the work they do within communities around Dundee. I wanted to have a round table discussion as it gives a representation of how they approach the work they do: open, honest, inclusive and community orientated.

Steve Burnett Musician and Environmentalist

I first met Steve Burnett whilst filming his talk at Creative Mornings in Edinburgh. His story of making instruments from sustainably sourced wood, from fallen trees or drift wood, resonated with me so I approached him to make a short documentary about his practice.
This documentary was entered into The John Byrne Award which won the monthly award and then also the annual award for Innovation.

Our Expertise

Creative Vision

No film is the same

Creative development is a crucial phase, and we excel in delivering outstanding results to our clients. Based in Scotland, and love getting to the heart of a story. Be that for an organisation, a case study or a creative journey. Celebrating the differences means no two films are the same.

Production Planning

It's what we do

From the original concept to final edit - we'll go through storyboarding and preproduction so you know what the film will be like before we've even put a battery in the camera

Editing

Tailored Solutions

Every project comes with three rounds of edits: first we edit all of the footage to recreate the original concept, second we make any changes that you may want to make, and the the last edit is to polish the film with colour grading, audio balancing. Then it's ready for publication!
