ABOUT ME
For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of helping some of the world's biggest brands tell their authentic stories on film. As a filmmaker and Creative Director with Content is King, I've crafted campaigns for the likes of McDonald's, LEGO, IBM and Weetabix.
In 2022 my family relocated to beautiful Edinburgh, where I also began connecting with local businesses and organisations, eager to bring my experience and skillset in video production to the community.

CLAY WINES
Wine educator and drinks consultant Isobel Salamon (Slonk Wine), wanted to capture her inaugural 'Clay' event with a video that would drive engagement with her new brand on social media and boost her reputation and visibility as a rising talent within the global drinks industry.As a solo crew and providing all post-production myself I was able to work efficiently, while providing a standout video (in portrait and landscape versions) that allowed the event and brand to truly shine in a sea of low-grade, self-produced reels.From Isobel:"You've outdone yourself... I LOVE it and can't wait to share the special video. And also to work with you again."
THE LANE
FINE JEWELLERY
From Cat Fiabane - The Lane Fine Jewellery:"In a world of online scams and mass produced items I was looking for a way of bringing credibility to my business. Of showing the creator behind the brand, the inspirations that my jewellery blooms from and an insight into the craftsmanship involved in its creation.Rob instantly understood the brief and made a beautiful piece that perfectly captured the mood of my brand.From our first brainstorming session, all the way through filming and editing, he was friendly and approachable - always open to new ideas and alterations. He brought to the project a wonderful creative eye, and made me feel instantly at ease in front of the camera. The final piece is truly beautiful and exactly what I had hoped for when I first contacted him.I've since used his video in a number of arenas - on my website, social media, and the websites of external stockists - and have had nothing but positive responses.It has certainly increased the numbers of enquiries I receive for bespoke and custom items and has established trust in me and the quality of my work."
STOCKBRIDGE MARKET
Instagram is an important driver of visitors to independent markets, providing a major boost to the local artisanal producers who rely on footfall for their livelihoods. But standout video production is out of financial reach for many.My promotional collaboration with Stockbridge Market aimed to showcase the quality and variety of stalls available, and capture the vibrant atmosphere visitors can enjoy every Sunday.Without requiring any ad spend, it has become the best performing reel of the year for the market, and was reposted by multiple stallholders, providing them with premium content on their own channels.Select comments:
