Professional Video Producer, Drone Operator & Editor in Whitby, North Yorkshire.
I am an experienced video producer, drone operator, and video editor based in Whitby, North Yorkshire, specializing in high-quality video production, aerial footage, and professional video editing with voiceovers.
With years of experience in the digital media industry, I started my career at an independent TV production company, working alongside skilled editors to create broadcast-quality content for major television networks.
Professional Video Editing & Production Services
Today, mobile devices allow anyone to capture high-resolution videos, but creating professional, engaging content requires expert editing. That’s where I can help.
As a freelance video editor, I specialize in transforming raw footage into polished, impactful videos that:
- Boost business visibility and increase bookings
- Enhance product appeal to drive sales
- Tell compelling stories that engage your audience
Video editing for Hotels & Guest Houses
Example of a short, attention grabbing video production
If you own a hotel or guest house video can provide another free marketing tool, I recently saw a very simple YouTube video showing self-catering lake side accommodation in Scotland that had over one million hits in three years. This approach to video marketing cost them literally nothing.
Video marketing doesn’t just mean YouTube, there is also Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where a professionally edited video can promote your hotel, guest house or self-catering property.
Video editing for Products / Services
Product videos or videos to promote your services can be a very cost effective way to market your business. Video marketing is simply responding to the ever increasing need of potential customers to watch video content.
Short punchy video editing can get your message across for free on platforms such as Facebook, Linked-in, twitter or Instagram. Once content is digitised it can remain in the public domain for as long as you want, continually being watched and shared.
Video hosting can be provided using Vimeo, it’s a great alternative to YouTube as there are more customisable options available, perfect for business.

Case Studies
Rusty Shears – Luxury Gite in France
Rusty Shears is a self catering gite in the South West of France. The 1830’s traditional stone farmhouse & barn is situated on the top of the plateau above the Lot Valley, in the heart of the Cahors vineyards.
Various footage was taken and compiled into this short piece that the owners use to help with their marketing. The video is streamed from Vimeo so it doesn’t interfere with their own website bandwidth. Vimeo is design specifically for video streaming, so the best experience is delivered to the end user every time.

Rusty Shears Website
For this holiday cottage website design I created also featured video headers. I still think in the 21st century that video is vastly underutilised. The video was created using a Samsung Ultra 23 smartphone. Each clip is uploaded to and streamed from my Vimeo account, this ensures the best quality is delivered each time and no website bandwidth is used.
Voice OVERS & VIDEO TRAINING
Example of a simple training video with voice over
Video is a very powerful training tool, screen recording can be used to create an online manual. The simple example you see was created to explain how the owner could make simple changes to her stock levels. I have to admit I don’t have the right voice for voice overs but that doesn’t matter as I use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create voice overs for videos. There are a range of voices both males and female to choose from.
If you would like to know more about how I can help create a video for your business or training with voice over please get in touch.
How to Deliver Your Video Online
Once you’ve created your video masterpiece, it’s time to share it with the world! However, one mistake you should avoid is uploading the video directly to your website. Videos require a lot of bandwidth, and if too many people watch at once, it could slow down or even crash your site.
Best Platforms for Video Hosting
The two most popular platforms for hosting and streaming videos are YouTube and Vimeo. Instead of uploading videos directly to your website, you can embed them using these platforms, ensuring:
✔ Fast, high-quality streaming without affecting your website’s performance
✔ Free hosting with reliable playback on all devices
YouTube vs. Vimeo – What to Consider
While YouTube is widely used, it has some drawbacks—most notably, it makes if difficult to disable recommended videos at the end, meaning unrelated (and sometimes unprofessional) or your competitors’ content may appear after your video plays.
Vimeo, on the other hand, offers more control over video presentation, including the ability to:
Remove ads and recommended videos
Customize the video player
Set privacy controls for exclusive content
Professional Video Hosting Included
When you work with me, all videos I create are hosted on my professional Vimeo account. This ensures full control over:
High-quality streaming without unwanted distractions
Custom branding options for a polished, professional look
Smooth integration with your website or social media
