I've been producing digital content since 2012, primarily for flagship BBC brands like Blue Peter and BBC News. Now I run Studio 91 Media, a video production agency on a mission: to create content that is good for platforms, good for people and good for the planet. When I'm not behind a camera, I can often be found playing cello at weddings or riding a three-wheeled cargo bike called Babs.
As always in the world of the internet, changes come thick and fast. One minute we’re told to keep videos short, the next it’s all about long-form content. You’re having fun sharing square photos on Instagram, only to be told it’s “no longer a square photo-sharing app”. Come on, The Internet. Slow down and let […]
I originally wrote this as a guest blog for the lovely people at Marketing Stockport, but I’m posting it here as well as I think it’s required reading for anyone working in marketing or communications who might need to upload video content from time to time. The golden rule is to take your time. Don’t […]
We LOVE it! Literally had goosebumps watching it, it’s awesome. WAGGGS, AKA the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, has been a client of ours since the height of lockdown in early 2021. The difference this time around is that we actually got to do some filming ourselves. Our previous video projects for […]
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: We’re now officially a Climate Positive company, which means we’ve offset at least 150% of our carbon emissions. Thanks to our partners at ON A MISSION for facilitating our carbon compensation through their worldwide reforestation projects. DISCLAIMER: this post starts off boring but gets VERY COOL by the end…bear with me. […]
We love it when we get to work with clients who share our values of putting people and planet ahead of profits. We also love it when we get to film animals. This project combined both those things in one happy marriage, as we documented one of Tyler Grange’s Community Days at Farms for City […]
Before I get into the nitty gritty of producing video without sound, let me make something abundantly clear. I LIKE AUDIO. I’m a sucker for a good podcast. I have a degree in music. I took a module in sound design as part of that degree. Oh thank you for asking, I got a first. […]
It was a privilege to be a part of the Ripples of Hope Festival 2021, a mind-blowing event that explored human rights from every angle over five busy days. This annual gathering takes place at Home in Manchester but is hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. The stellar line-up of speakers included Hillary Clinton […]
We recently delivered this vision video for Interserve, a Christian charity that serves communities in Asia and the Arab World. Alongside a major rebrand, the organisation approached us to produce an explainer video that demonstrates what they’re about. They wanted to focus on the people they work with, which is where ‘Sarah’ came in. The […]
Once upon a time, back in May 2020, I was meant to travel to Eurovision to film social content with the EBU’s digital team. Of course, that wasn’t to be, and 2020 became the first year in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest that the Contest didn’t go ahead. Thankfully, I still had the […]
Recently we’ve been working with The Lily Jo Project to produce some brilliant in-depth video content for schools. The aim is to create resources that appeal to children and young people, and that don’t shy away from tricky mental health topics. Ben was a pleasure to work with, his calm nature put me at ease […]
