WILLIAM
AUTHENTIC FILMMAKER FOR THE INTERNET
Well, here we are - welcome to the new Digital age . . .
Welcome to the world of the ever connected, always on, highly opinionated, on the move customer.
Customers understand they now have the power. They now expect more than
just a product or a service from you . . . today, they expect VIDEOS!
LEARNED SO MUCH
My clients need to connect with their audiences quickly, effectively,
powerfully, persuasively, informatively, entertainingly and emotionally.
Sometimes doing things a little different, getting the results they are looking/hoping
for and then some, sometimes way, way beyond their expectations.
FAST - FURIOUS - CREATIVE
In-store TV Nationwide - producing engaging content for all major high street sport/fashion/music retailers.
Global Sport Brands - produce short inspirational films for international shows, promotions, global conference.
Local Government - winning multi-million pound tenders, contracts and prestigious industry awards,
City Investment - successfully winning multi-million pound investment pitches.
"It's not about what you 'show' people - it's about how it makes them FEEL"
Get this ingredient into your marketing and communications strategy, people will love you then buy your products.
ROCK STAR BIT
My background started as a founder member of a band called STACKRIDGE.
As it turned out, the band that opened and closed the very first ever Glastonbury Festival.
As our popularity grew we got the attention of legendary record producer Sir George Martin.
(He asked us if he could produce our next album - we said uhmmm, we would think about it,
and asked him, "what experience did he have to want to become 'our' record producer?"
He said something about, The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Cilla Black, Peter Sellers and two Bond films . . .
So we said "OK")
In September of that year, George offered me the opportunity to work
with him as his Personal Aide, which I accepted and lasted 10 wonderful years.
During this period I worked with him in Beverly Hills, Hollywood California.
Attained Pilot license's for both Helicopter and Fixed Wing aircraft.
FAST FORWARD
For the next part of life's journey, my passion for photography
developed into a passion for filmmaking.
Joined a London Retail Production Company
based in Regents Park as Executive Producer of In-Store TV content.
WHSmith (Music)
Olympus Sport TV
Champion Sport TV
Intersport
Top Shop (Fashion)
and Lillywhites
This in turn led me to long production relationships with sport brands such as
Reebok, Dunlop Slazenger, Umbro, New Balance, Speedo, Ellesse and LaCoste.
Shooting legends such as Linford Christie, Vinnie Jones, Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer.
Owned and operated 'Out-of-Home' Channels -
