A little about myself…

Hi, I’m James! I’m a South England based filmmaker with a love for telling interesting stories in exciting ways, working with you to conceptualise, edit and deliver dynamic audiovisual content tailored to the needs of your project. I graduated from Bournemouth University's Film Production and Cinematography course in 2018, and have been creating ever since. Why? Because I love what I do!

From product promos, event coverage, documentaries and award winning short films, I have vast experience creating content across many different mediums in a huge variety of sectors and industries, specialising predominantly in theatre and the arts.

Whether it be promoting your business, documenting your project or sharing your art, I’m here to help. Whatever your story, dynamic video content is for sure the most effective and engaging way to tell it. From promos, explainers, behind the scenes and more, I can work with you to deliver engaging video tailored to your needs. Check out my showreel below as well as the rest of this site for examples of my work, and please feel free to get in touch for a chat!

I am also a performance designer and maker, with experience producing sets, costumes and puppets for a range of live performance projects. You can view my portfolio here or check out my work at www.instagram.com/jameshendersonmakes.

I am based in Brighton, and work predominanty in the South of England, but will always consider work further afield.

James is great to work with. We recently worked with him as a designer and videographer on a show with a fast turnaround and from start to finish he was super professional and adaptable, working on time and on budget. He’s also a really nice guy and a great collaborative addition to any creative team who we’d happily recommend and work with again!

James has the patience of a saint, is professional, thorough, and creative and reliable. My project plan was falling apart, scripts and voice overs were taking forever to get to him but James waited and kept assuring me that all will be well, he will do his best. When I first saw the documentary, I shed a tear at how expressive, creative, captivating and perfect the documentary was. Indeed he delivered his best, my organisation and the worldwide viewers were in owe and still are.

James and his team produced a promo video for my holiday business. They were great to have on site, courteous and professional throughout. The film surpassed all expectations and was incredibly professional. We have received amazing feedback and it has definitely enabled our business to have an improved online presence as well as securing bookings.
