Video · Helen Hyde

Videos that tell the story of your business, from someone who has filmed and produced for the BBC.

Helen is a BBC and ITV trained producer, camera operator and broadcast journalist. She helps you find the story, plan the shoot and film it well on the phones you already have. She still makes films for businesses, though most of her work now is coaching teams to make their own.

How Helen can help

Helen can plan a film with you, or a year of them: what to film, where it will be used and what it needs to work there. She offers one-to-one sessions on your business and its marketing strategy. She coaches marketing teams to film their own videos on their phones, without the cost of a videographer. She also runs webinars and talks for small groups.

Films your team can make

Most businesses need one of these, each of which is easily achievable with your phone and a little planning:

  • A film for your website. A hotel, a pub, a workshop: a short film shows the place better than a row of photographs.
  • Customers in their own words. Filmed testimonials are more personal and more believable than a quote on a page.
  • How-to films. If people struggle with your product, a short film that shows it working does the explaining for you.
  • Events. Filmed so that more people come next time.
  • Films for your emails and socials. Product of the month, a behind-the-scenes look, a live reveal.

If you are not sure how or where to use a film, that is where to start. Helen will tell you what it needs to work where you want it.

Helen worked closely with us to produce several short videos... Helen was highly professional to work with, we have been so pleased with the final versions of all the videos, and we look forward to sharing them with our clients. I would absolutely work with Helen again.Jane James and Associates
