It’s a lot like my own style, vintage, seventies rock & roll at its finest! Adding grains, effects, and capturing authentic, candid angles is what I do best. I’m confident in directing, as I know what it takes to be on both sides of the lens. I know what a brand wants to see and I know how to get the best out of a model.
What inspires you as a videographer?
Old British Pathé footage of the ’70s, vintage band tour films & music videos, as well as the creative community on Instagram. I always refer back to my storyboards but I do love a film with a touch of spontaneity to it. Sometimes going off plan is where the magic happens!
What do you feel are the key things to make a video perfect?
Making sure everyone on set feels comfortable and has great energy. I want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible, as this allows them to show their real personality on film. No matter what the conditions or what the day can throw at me, I go with the flow as I know I can turn it around to get the best edit possible.

After some time, I connected with other video enthusiasts and we had first paid projects in Lithuania, which were predominantly weddings and family events.

What makes your style unique?
"I love performance. For me, the performance comes at the centre of my work, and my role as a videographer is to best capture and present that performance, whether it be an actor, a musician, or simply someone incredibly passionate. The lighting and the camera work are always inspired by the people I work with, and I try to inject their individuality into the shooting style. It's what makes no two pieces of work identical. That's what I aimed to capture in my showreel (if you check it out), the moments of interaction and performance which made the shoot exciting for me."
How did you get started with videography?
"I was fortunate to have access to cameras from a young age. I feel the biggest entry point for anything is access. My dad was a musician and had access to cameras to film his performances; at a young age, he recognised my passion for filmmaking and gave me the tools to experiment. From there, I've always followed what I was passionate about filming at the time and focused on developing my style and helping clients visualise what is in their head. For me, that's the really fun part."

22. James Cook
James Cook, the founder behind FOSTER studios, helps companies develop their brand through video production and photography. He has worked with companies like Hamleys and Fever-Tree, and his manifesto is to provide a brilliant content marketing service to any company.
What makes your style unique?
"My style is still developing, it is not definite. The best word to describe it would be unconventional. I've worked with videographers and camera operators that are rigorous in a way they work, others with more the run&gun approach, not really thinking about the lighting.
James used to be the same, quick on his feet, usually going with the flow as they say. Many times he shot without lighting, getting the best of the situation. Now it's changing – making sure enough time is spent to set up whatever's necessary, and make it look really, really good!
How did you get started with videography?
When I was 16 I wanted to get into the YouTube game. I studied film studies college too. However, as I got older I wanted to get behind the camera rather than being in front of it.
When at university, James studied film & TV, worked a job in media as well as exploring being a freelance videographer. All that led him to setting up his own FOSTER Studios video production company where he's working locally with marketing agencies and businesses of all sizes.
Having my own business was and still is a great learning curve for me. To be able to mix and learn the business side of it besides making just a video, it really is an amazing advantage. Working with other freelancers gives me the opporutinity to blend different styles and talents of different people.
On top of all that, James see many more advantages on having his own video production company. He is able to constantly meet new people and businesses.
FOSTER Studios has great expertise in the sport, education and, hospitality sectors, as seen on their website:

How did you get started with videography?
"I was always very passionate about films growing up, I used to have a schedule of watching a movie every night at 10pm. I wasn't sure what interested me about them but I knew that whatever I ended up doing in the future I wanted to work in the film industry. Which actually was strange at the time as I was very active growing up, I played football for years, then snowboarding, skateboarding and travelling to different countries for skate competitions. One day I started creating YouTube videos when I was 15, making video game walkthroughs and reviewing comic books with a voiceover, with no camera. Then I took the leap, bought my first camera, Canon 70D, with a kit lens and started putting myself on-camera (I remember being so scared of that). Eventually I grew the YouTube channel to 80K subscribers, had consistent views, giveaways and partnered with brands like Sony, Loot Crate and more whilst at the same time studying for a degree in Post Production for Film & TV at University called 'Futureworks' in Manchester.
After graduating from the University I saved money for one year, and in June 2018 left everything and everyone behind to relocate to London with no plan besides needing to find a job within three months. Otherwise I would run out of money and have to go back to Manchester. I worked for free for as long as possible and as much as possible within those three months of being in London. Instead of landing a job, I landed an ongoing client – freelancing, and that right there was the beginning of my professional career. Now a few years later I'm working on larger productions, own cinema cameras, manage my own team (should the project and budget need it) and consistently work with amazing clients. One of my main clients being GQ who I'm very proud of."

Sam’s client list includes Vodafone, Red Bull and Danone. Based in the South West, Sam works in Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and London.
How did you get started in the industry?
I made the jump to freelance in 2017, having initially run a small photography business during my free time whilst working full time in the consumer goods industry. My partner and I took a year out to go travelling when she finished med school and I started off shooting, and editing personal travel films shot on a GoPro. That got me hooked and it snowballed from there! When we returned, I decided to pursue filmmaking full time and haven’t looked back since.
What separates you from other filmmakers?
I believe my industry experience working in the consumer goods industry (where I had various different roles across brand marketing and sales) really helps me to better understand clients’ commercial or marketing objectives. This comes from me having first hand experience working on brand marketing campaigns (PR, ATL, OOH, Social) and having sat on the other side of the same discussions I now have running my video production company. Being able to talk the client’s language and understand their strategy and objectives really helps ensure that the video assets created for my clients helps towards that strategy.
