Hello! I'm Tom, I make films for people like you…

With over a decade of filmmaking experience, a film degree and 6 years working within marketing teams, you can rest assured that your video project is in safe hands.

I’ve encountered a vast variety of wonderful people; everyone from primary school pupils to CEOs of international corporations. It’s what I love about the job… hearing such diverse stories and perspectives is a great way to sharpen yourself while also learning more about the world.

I collaborate with people to develop filming ideas before nurturing these ideas to life through effective storytelling. Each film I create is unique; tailored to fit the brief like a glove. I've also got a knack for creative editing, but don't take my word for it - see what clients have to say below.

The more I create films, the more I realise how blessed I am to do what gives me joy for a living. Please do get in touch to see how I can help share your story.

Big thanks for stopping by,

He has a flair for effective and innovative editing and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anybody who requires video in order to truly get their message across.’’

— Carrie Mulligan, Head of Marketing at Severfield

‘Both Technical Expertise and an Artistic Eye’

“To capture the show, whilst retaining it's atmosphere, flow and integrity, was always going to be challenge but Tom approached it with both technical expertise and an artistic eye.

He has that rare kind of collaborative talent that takes creative initiative but is also happy to respond to suggestions. He consistently met the project deadlines and delivered a high quality end product.”

— Pete James, client for ‘Pilgrim’ Theatre production

‘Completely Understood our Brief’

“[Tom] respected and completely understood our brief. He is very likeable and fun to work with yet, at the same time, extremely hardworking and professional in his work.

He respected our staff and students throughout the day and was exceptionally polite and pleasant in his dealings with colleagues and students.”

— Carolyn Granger, client for Thomas Rotherham College Videos


‘Incredibly Loyal, Hard Working and Reliable’

“Tom is an exceptional videographer. He is incredibly loyal, hard working and reliable, these attributes coupled with his creative flair, eye for detail and naturally innovative editing style, really do make him a rare find in this industry.

We have seen tremendous success in using the videos Tom creates in so many different scenarios; as assets in demand generation campaigns, customer case studies, corporate overviews, internal training and information videos, through to annual 'fun' team video competitions.

Tom manages to adapt in any of these situations and make the people he is filming feel confident and at ease. He has always delivered to brief and on time with sometimes very demanding deadlines and expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”

— Kerry Perks, Founder Perks Marketing Ltd.


‘Knack of Being in the Right Place at the Right Time’

“Tom was sensitive to the fragile nature of the archaeological site and worked closely with the archaeological team to find suitable ways of filming without disturbing important finds and deposits.

He was well liked by his colleagues and demonstrated an uncanny knack of being in the right place at the right time, yet never seemed intrusive. Several staff members commented that he was competent and efficient, as he got the shots he needed without causing very much fuss, which is a real benefit on a busy site.

I was also impressed that he was articulate, polite and had a positive attitude – nothing was too much trouble for him.”

— Gerard Twomey, Director Bamburgh Research Project

‘The Editing is Superb’

“Tom was professional, reliable and diligent. He took time to thoroughly understand our needs, and made a big effort to build up a relationship with the band members.

Tom devised some very creative and exciting ideas for our video. The editing is superb, and we are grateful to Tom for taking so much time and care over the product.”

— Kate Isaac, client for ‘Step out with me tonight’ Music video

‘Adept in Front of End-User Customers’

Tom is a personable, reliable and thoroughly professional videographer who can work effectively to script, film, direct, edit and produce a range of creative video content for organisations, from talking heads shoots through to graphical animations & customer case studies.

He is open to new ideas, creative in his thinking, works well with internal stakeholders to assess needs and adapt accordingly, and he is equally adept in front of end-user customers to get the right result.

Tom is easy to work with and I would definitely recommend his videography services as a freelancer.

— Mark Boorman, Former Marketing manager at Trustmarque
