Studio 91 Media | B Corp™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.
Moorside Primary School in Salford asked us to produce a short video that showcased the school in a creative way. We came up with the idea of two Year Six pupils giving a tour of the site and interviewing other students. The film was shot over two mornings to make sure we captured the breadth […]
The new Notes web app by the BBC Philharmonic seems like such a simple idea, and yet it’s completely revolutionary. During the concert, audience members can access a web page where they’ll get live programme notes beamed straight to their device, triggered at the relevant moment. Ellie and I road-tested the tool a few months […]
Event videography is always great fun, especially when the event is one you’d want to go to anyway. That is absolutely the case with the BBC’s Contains Strong Language, a poetry and spoken word festival that takes over Hull each year in September. I got to film a wide range of events featuring everyone from […]
It’s been a while since my last logo design, so it was really fun to get stuck into this little number. Strikeforce Kaiserman are a duo of barbershop brothers, who arrange songs for barbershop quartets and choirs. They approached me asking for a new brand identity that reflected their name, their music, and their quirky […]
We soft-launched this company halfway through 2018, and things accelerated a LOT quicker than we expected. We’ve got big plans to ramp things up in 2019, so stay tuned for updates. Here’s a look back at some of our favourite content from 2018, not including some very exciting development projects that we’re not allowed to […]
What do you do if your child’s storybooks don’t reflect who they are? Philip Robinson had this problem when he found that none of his daughter’s princess books matched up with her Caribbean heritage. Watch the video to see how he took matters into his own hands, writing and publishing his own book called Nia […]
This was a lovely project to work on with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. They took a small ensemble to Broughton House, a nursing home in Salford for military veterans, and put on a concert for them. They had also invited the residents to an upcoming concert marking 100 years since the Armistice, but not everyone […]
Accountants are kind of like vegetables, in that we all know they’re good for us – necessary, in fact – but they get accused of being bland, boring and generally sucking the joy out of life. NOT TRUE! At least not for Alest Accountants, a scrappy startup that specialises in working with charities and non-profits, […]
Yes, that was my brief for this promo video for MaxxOne‘s new Starlight Dome Camera. This is state-of-the-art tech (it can record colour images in almost complete darkness) so my client wanted me to recreate the feel of an Apple advert. Cool, trendy and sexy, outlining the product’s cutting edge features in text form. See […]
A friend of mine asked me to help her create a video of her reading Judi Walker’s poem ‘Don’t Tell Me’ for a memorial service as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week. The words are simple but powerful, so I wanted the style to be as natural and direct as possible.
