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.

Some of the most important chemistry happens quietly.
Time-lapse and macro techniques reveal faint indicator changes and slow precipitate formation—turning “blink and you miss it” moments into powerful teaching tools.

If your corporate video feels stiff,
the problem probably isn’t the presenter.
It’s the setup.
Eye-line, pacing, and delivery matter more than gear. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/corporate-pieces-to-camera.html
Science students don’t fail because they don’t know enough.
They fail because they know the wrong thing very confidently.
Real progress comes from surfacing misconceptions, testing them with evidence, and rebuilding understanding properly.

Making a micro-documentary on the Gas Laws starts long before filming.
Planning the story, scripting for clarity, testing experiments, choosing props and even thinking about clothing – all before the camera rolls.
Good science videos are built, not improvised. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/making-micro-documentary-on-gas-laws.html
Parallax shots make lessons feel alive.
Orbit moves show structure.
Reveal shots guide understanding.
Subtle camera movement adds depth without distraction.

Multiple projects, one identity.
Brand consistency across Philip M Russell Ltd, YouTube, Hemel Private Tuition and pmrsailing.uk builds trust and recognition — without losing individuality. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/brand-consistency-across-sites.html
Run-and-gun filming = prepare for everything.
Rain, wind, low light — with the right checklist, no moment is missed.
Our grab-bag saves more shoots than any single camera. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/run-and-gun-checklists-what-to-pack-for.html
Maths becomes real in the lab.
Vectors, logs and errors make sense when students measure forces, plot decay curves, or analyse uncertainty in real experiments.
https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/vectors-logs-and-errors-teaching-maths.html
Playing VST instruments through the synth with Gig Performer transforms software sounds into real performance tools.
Hardware feel + unlimited digital palette = perfect soundtrack workflow

Trying UV-only photography today with our multispectral camera + ZB1 filter.
Blocks all visible + IR light, leaving only ultraviolet.
Amazing how many hidden patterns suddenly appear. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/experimenting-with-uv-photography.html
Night landscapes make brilliant teaching tools.
Exposure, noise, light pollution, star trails, motion — one long exposure can cover half a physics lesson.
https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/night-landscapes-for-teaching.html
Printer installs perfectly… then vanishes?
Check IP address, Wi-Fi band, drivers, firewall rules and mesh network isolation.
Most “mystery” printer issues are network ones. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/it-really-cant-be-that-hard-where-to.html
Fix problems before you press record.
Good lighting, clean audio, tidy backgrounds, matched cameras and clear structure save hours in the edit.https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/fix-it-in-prep-not-in-post.html
No power = no shoot.
Cameras, drones, audio, lights — everything depends on spare batteries and PD power banks.
Charge everything. Bring extras. Film anywhere. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/batteries-power-banks-without-these.html
Need network access in another building? A TP-Link CPE211 wireless bridge links two sites as if they’re wired together. Fast, reliable, perfect for studios and workshops. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/installing-bridge-network-between-two.html
UV photography is brilliant — but it needs safety.
A simple photodiode + Arduino gives instant UV readings for safe filming and fluorescing experiments.
Cheap, accurate, essential.
https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2025/12/a-simple-photodiode-project-for-uv.html
Filming at schools and clubs?
Model and location releases keep everything legal and usable.

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.
