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.

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.
