Our Services
At our production company, we offer a range of services to create video content that meets your unique needs. Whether you require a one-off video or an entire series, we handle the entire process from design and scriptwriting to post-production.
For over four decades, we have captured countless wedding memories through our photography and videography services. As a company that offers both services, we provide an economic solution that ensures the photography and videography don't interfere with each other.
Our experienced team works tirelessly to provide exceptional quality and attention to detail in both photography and videography. We understand the importance of capturing the special moments of your big day and strive to create timeless keepsakes that you and your loved ones can cherish for years to come.
We believe that the whole filmmaking process should be done correctly to produce an excellent finished product, whether it's a short film or an advertisement. Our experienced team works closely with you to bring your vision to life, incorporating your ideas and feedback to ensure that the final product meets your expectations.
In addition to video production, we also offer photography services, for industry and schools. We can do everything from a few school portraits to covering the news and social media for an entire school or company. Our photos are perfect for use in brochures, press releases and websites, providing a visual representation of your school or organization that will help to draw in potential clients or students.
For some fun I am learning to sail. We have decked out our boat with cameras, and also can use a dedicated camera boat. pmrsailing.uk
Throughout the pandemic, we produced 8 weekly, 45-minute programs on Science and Maths, which were widely used worldwide.
Our live videos on Science experiments aimed to help students aged 14-18 go over experiments and topics in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
In addition, we offer live-streamed Organ concerts. Although the Organ is typically a challenging instrument to see, we use multiple cameras to give the audience an up-close view of the hands and feet sweeping over the keys as they enjoy the concert.
We also provide virtual concerts and church services. Using our ATEMS, we can stream various topics, from computer games to science experiments, from one-to-one discussions to organ concerts.
Our mission is to provide an engaging and informative experience for viewers from all backgrounds.
Low-cost science R&D at work:
pH + conductivity sensors + Arduino = a cheap, accurate teaching tool for titrations and water-quality work.
Build it once → use it everywhere. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/budget-ph-conductivity-duo-low-cost.html
Crowds don’t have to ruin your event footage.
Walk the edges, change height, watch the layers, and use longer lenses — clean angles appear even in chaos. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/event-coverage-without-clutter-how-to.html
Shiny metal = tricky to film.
A polariser cuts glare, flags control reflections, and suddenly stainless steel becomes easy.
Simple tools → big improvements. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/reflective-metals-made-easy-using.html
Pollinator b-roll is gold.
Macro shots of bees and butterflies work across biology, sustainability, physics and even pmrsailing.uk.
Film now — you’ll use it again and again. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/biodiversity-b-roll-filming-pollinators.html
Captions matter.
YouTube’s AI is fast, but science terms and sailing vocabulary still need human correction.
Best workflow: AI draft → edit → export. https://hemelprivatetuition.blogspot.com/2025/11/tracking-populations-sampling-and.html
Colour consistency starts at capture.
A colour checker gives you perfect white balance, matching cameras and lighting — before the grade even begins.
https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/colour-checkers-in-workflow-from.html
Thermal cameras reveal what insulation hides.
Cold spots, leaks, draughts, warm radiators — real physics you can see.
Perfect for home energy checks and teaching heat transfer. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/using-thermal-cameras-for-home-energy.html
How much stabilisation is too much in sailing videos?
In-camera keeps the drama of heel.
Post-stabilisation keeps the technique clear.
Mix both for the perfect racing film.

Upgrading my Wersi setup:
A wall-mounted 27-inch second screen makes digital music easier to read and frees the space for traditional sheet music too.
MobileSheets + flexible monitor = smoother playing. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/upgrading-wersi-second-screen-better.html
SEO isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Science needs accuracy, tuition needs parent-focused content, and sailing blogs need community — not conversion funnels. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/seo-for-science-sailing-why-one-size.html
For close-up science and studio work, the Canon 100mm Macro is hard to beat.

A simple video structure that works every time:
Hook → Teach → Sum
Grab attention, deliver the idea, wrap it up clearly.
Perfect for science, sailing, and tuition videos. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/makingbettervideos-hookteachsum.html
Coloured reading rulers can make text clearer and calmer for students who struggle with visual stress.
A simple tint + a tracking window = smoother, more confident reading. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/coloured-reading-rulers-making-reading.html
We’ve upgraded to the 8K Insta360 X4 Air — and the difference is huge.
Sharper science demos, smoother sailing footage, and 360° reframing so we never miss a moment. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/upgrading-to-8k-insta360-camera.html
That 50 Hz hum isn’t part of the music.
Use clean power, separate circuits, and DI boxes to kill noise before it hits the mix. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/avoiding-hum-with-clean-power-and-di.html
Clean audio transforms a video. The Tascam CA-XLR2d turns the Canon R5C into a pro recorder — XLR inputs, phantom power, perfect sync. No cables, no fuss, just quality. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/audio-interfaces-for-cameras-how-tascam.html
UV photography reveals the invisible — but safety comes first.
Use filtered UV-A light, proper goggles, and controlled setups.
No image is worth your eyesight. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/safe-uv-photography-protocols-making.html
Drones open up new views — but not everywhere is fair game.
Know where you can, can’t, and shouldn’t fly.
Safety, respect, and planning keep you in the sky and out of trouble. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/11/safety-on-shared-airspace-days.html
