Hello. I’m Tony and I’m a creative video specialist based in Glasgow, Scotland.
and I’ve worked in the Scottish media for 12+ years.
The last six have been spent at The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday producing high quality original video content for editorial, commercial and events sectors of the business.
By now committing myself to freelance work, I hope to make my video work more accessible and affordable to sole traders and SMEs who in the past couldn’t justify the additional cost of outsourcing corporate video.
My biggest career achievement so is picking up all three ‘best picture or video’ awards from national award ceremonies between 2018 and 2022.
Primarily I plan, shoot and produce high-quality bespoke video content by closely collaborating with clients. I promote accessibility and visibility to my workflow at all times and encourage client participation throughout the process.
Being from a journalism background, I couldn’t have gotten by without building a wide array or relevant skills, including:
- copywriting
- captioning & subtitling
- analytics
- SEO and writing for the web
- podcasting
- webinars
- live-streaming & more
