About me

I'm Kristian Barrass - an experienced self shooting director of photography, lighting TV/corporate camera operator and CAA licensed aerial drone pilot.
Based between Leeds and Hull in East Yorkshire, I offer location filming and production services across the North, Midlands and whole UK.
With over 25 years of network broadcast TV & branded commercial experience, I'm also able to work as a self shooting director as illustrated by work on BBC 1's "Car Wars" and "Disaster Masters" and self shooting corporate assignments for leading agencies such as Media Zoo, Polar Media, The Marketing Cafe, Middle Table, Proudmotion and ITV/BBC news amongst others.

I've worked on a wide variety of prime-time factual network programmes including lifestyle, observational, entertainment, current affairs, news and sport for all of the main UK broadcasters, numerous leading independent production companies, foreign TV channels and multi-national corporate clients.

​Being based near Hull and the Humber region has led to numerous assignments in the petrochemical and renewable energy sectors including filming projects at INEOS, Orsted, I-Gas, BP and Dong Energy - both on and off shore.

I own and offer a range of high-end equipment including the latest Sony FX9 Full frame camera, Sony a7Siii and Sony HDCAM shoulder mounted cameras along with a range of lenses, extensive lighting, sound, gimbal, slider, green screen and teleprompter.

​I also offer 4K/1080 HD aerial drone filming and photography services through FlyCam UK which is CAA licensed and fully insured.

Whether it’s a difficult documentary, "run & gun" style news item, a presenter led programme, fast paced sports show or prestigious branded corporate event , I always strive to deliver ‘the right approach’ to your production and always aim to provide the best results.

​Don't worry if you don't have the time or budget to send a director or producer as I am happy and confident to self direct including conducting interviews and driving a story.

​I've experience of working with various satellite trucks to shoot items such as live reports and press conferences. In addition, I've regularly operated Live U, Mobile view and WMT IP streaming equipment to feed rushes and undertake live broadcasts as well as experience of using BT and ADI fibre boxes.

Finally I'm an approved supplier to the BBC, ITV, SKY Sports and IMG having trained in relevant health and safety courses and having specialist insurance cover. I am also fully DBS checked as of Jan 2019.
