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.
How Do You Brand a Thames A-Rater Series?
A sailing series starts long before the boat reaches the water
Writing Music for Boats: Creating the Sound of an A-Rater
The perfect sailing shot may already be in your footage — you just didn’t point the camera at it. That’s the appeal of 360° video. But is it better than conventional filmmaking for sailing films?https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2026/05/should-sailing-films-be-360-or-is.html
Behind the Edit: Building the Competent Crew Film. Filming a sailing course is easy.
Turning 200GB of Croatia footage into a proper film is much harder.

Students rarely stop watching because a topic is difficult.They stop because the explanation is unclear.Clarity changes everything.

Good teaching aids don’t just demonstrate science…
They make students think.
Better visibility
Live data collection
Multi-camera close-ups
DIY redesigns
Modern teaching needs experiments designed for both classrooms and cameras.

Can you live stream a sailing race from a moving boat?
Yes.
Is it easy?
Absolutely not.

Same lesson. Same teacher.
Completely different misunderstandings.
That’s why 1:1 tuition works:
It adapts the explanation to the student
Not the other way round.

From Logo to Polo shirt – Building a Home Production Studio

Teaching from a TV studio isn’t overkill… it’s clarity.
Every student gets the front row seat:
Close-up experiments
Step-by-step explanations
Instant replay learning
No missed moments. No confusion. https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2026/05/why-tv-studio-beats-classroom-for-11.html
The home workshop has entered a dangerous new phase… fabric printing
Sublimation, vinyl, screen printing & embroidery — all now in play.
Results range from “shop quality” to “what on earth happened there?”
But when it works… it’s brilliant.

Battery dead = moment gone
Travelling with cameras?
Power bank
USB-C cables
Nightly charging routine
Simple… but essential.

You can’t plan a sailing video series the same way you plan a studio shoot. You don’t know: The boat The weather The plan
So what do you plan? The STORY, not the shots.

Learning – Ways to Actually Remember Things (Not Just Read Them!)

Every student struggles differently. Mary: brilliant at maths… stuck on mechanics
Tammy: knows psychology… but only vaguely
1:1 tuition isn’t about teaching more
It’s about fixing how each student thinks
That’s where the real progress happens https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2026/04/why-11-tuition-works-because-every.html

The “home workshop” has gone next level… Dye sublimation
Laser-cut screen printing
Computer embroidery
You can now design & manufacture your own branded clothing from home.
This isn’t a hobby anymore… it’s a micro-factory.

DIY Physics in Action
Why spend £250 on an air track when you can build one?
Aluminium tube
Drill
Air blower
Result:
Floating gliders
Near frictionless motion
Very impressed students
Best bit?
They get to see how physics equipment actually works https://philipmrussell.blogspot.com/2026/04/r-building-diy-linear-air-track-and.html
Editing a video shouldn’t take longer than the filming… but it usually does
My rules to actually hit a deadline:
Rough cut first
“Good enough” beats perfect
Fix audio early
Set fake deadlines
Done is better than perfect. Always.
