About me

I have been working as a film-maker since 2005. After working in broadcast television as a sound recordist, I migrated to video, firstly as a cameraman and editor in the online and corporate arenas, before making the plunge into the freelance world of film making in 2014. I split my time predominantly freelancing as a cameraman & video editor working for various production companies as well as producing my own films, based under the name 'Jeremy George'

Camera: Over 10 years experience as a lighting cameraman, filming interviews, music content, bespoke visuals & directing music videos.

Editing: I am an experienced editor working on range of projects, predominantly corporate, documentaries, graphics & music videos with over 10 years experience. I work using Premiere Pro, After Effects and Da Vinci.


Referees:

Nick Colvin (Colebrook Bosson Saunders): I've worked with George for a number of years across many varied corporate video projects; from product interiors to stop motion.

George is a very talented Videographer, Director, Editor and Graphic Lead, with no request from us too abstract! His ability to interpret a brief quickly really helps us get to the creative execution, ensuring time on set is spent capturing quality content. A great eye for detail, composition and audio means editing and post-production is a breeze.

George is invaluable when working with actors or conducting interviews, getting the best out of everyone on set. I would not hesitate in recommending George for any corporate video project and look forward to our next project together!

TesseracT: "We knew that we needed a video director that didn’t simply understand the lyrics but someone who could connect to the intensity of the music, and was willing to work closely together in creating the right visuals. On first contact with George we knew that we had found the right team. Without a doubt ‘Hexes‘ is the most cohesive and impactful video we have made to date and we’re extremely proud of the end result.”

The Independent: "George provided an extremely professional and comprehensive service, through filming, editing and post production – giving us a final product that truly drove our business forward. We ended up with a main promotional film, and 10 other short films promoting specific dishes and drinks, that more than exceeded our expectations.”

Gary Beestone Ltd: 'George responded to our brief and created a visually and acoustically dynamic and exciting show reel for our website. It was so good they then created a shorter opening clip for our homepage. Creative, responsive and brilliant to work with we can’t wait to work with them again!’

Tron Electric: ‘I worked with George for two videos they made recently for my company. I am extremely pleased with the videos they produced and the professionalism with which they carried out the work. I would highly recommend them to any company considering having some professional videos made.’

Snapper Music: ‘Thank you so much for putting so much work in to it – it’s way more than I expected – funny, looks fantastic and wonderful insight into making the Hexes video. Loved it and I’m sure it’s going to get a great reaction when people see it.’
