Cinematographer,

Editor & Drone Pilot

Take a look at some of my work.

About Me.

Hi, I’m Sam Fenton. Cinematographer, Editor, Drone Pilot, and all-round Video Producer.

I’ve been making videos for over a decade now. I started out at a London-based production company, learning the ropes and eventually becoming Senior Producer.

I then moved on to a different production company, where I started a role as Head of Production.

Nowadays I’m freelance, and I make videos for production companies and direct clients as wide ranging as Coca Cola, VISA, Slack, Facebook, NatWest, FIFA, Google, Knight Frank, Mercedes, Mace Construction, and many more.

I could be useful to you…

…if you’re looking to work with a freelancer who’s highly experienced, reliable, friendly and client facing.

Through my career I’ve seen and done it all - so I’m always able to jump straight in to any situation without any hand-holding needed.

I have an extensive kit list (below), I’m a car owner (and always willing to travel for shoots). I’m DBS certified, fully insured and I have an A2 CofC drone license.

Being an Editor as well as a Cinematographer, I often take on projects for clients in their entirety - so I’m able to take my footage home and turn around an edit as well.

Production companies sometimes find this useful - particularly if they’re in a busy period!

Testimonials.

  • We could not be more thrilled with the videos Sam has produced for us over the last year. He has an uncanny ability to find and convey the heart of each story. We've already seen an increase in engagement and support since releasing the videos on our website and social platforms. We have found a true partner who cares deeply about our mission. We cannot recommend him highly enough for his creativity, professionalism and the passion he brings to uplifting social impact stories through his incredible videography skills. It has been a privilege to work with him.

    Hannah Reeve, Nurture Families

  • I reached out to Sam at short notice for a one-off filming day and he was quick to respond. On the day, he was proactive in finding the right shots whilst allowing me to get on with my work in an effective manner. The final edit came through in a very quick period of time with some lovely edits that went above and beyond what we had asked for. I highly recommend his work.

    Sam Hunt, Cricfit

  • Sam produced highly professional and polished videos which were used as part of a customer testimonial series. The quality of the videos were instrumental in allowing us to effectively promote our services and therefore attain new clients and business relationships.

    Curtis Noble, Charity Transfers

  • Sam and his team were amazing when they supported us with a challenging visualisation project for a luxury automotive client. From setting up the shoot and advising on the location, to driving the whole day and ensuring we got everything done on time to impeccable quality - he ran things with total professionalism and the final edit was everything we hoped for.

    Kieran Singleton, Forge Design

  • Sam's work is professional and thorough, we have used him many times both indoors and outdoors and his visions, ideas and energy towards all our projects has been outstanding.

    Arun Sarna, Hot Tub Suppliers

  • Sam went out of his way to fully understand our needs and his skill brought to life our vision in a way we could never have achieved without him. The crowdfunding campaign he worked with us on exceeded its target, and went on to raise over £430,000. I wouldn't hesitate to use Sam again. He was super easy to work with and very accommodating and flexible.

    Jane Verity, Artfinder

  • From the moment we discussed the project, Sam exhibited a deep understanding of our vision and objectives. He took the time to listen attentively to our ideas and brought his own creative suggestions to the table, which elevated the final outcome. His ability to translate concepts into visually captivating shots is unparalleled. Beyond technical skills, his patience, positive attitude and collaborative nature made the entire experience enjoyable. He was open to feedback, eager to make adjustments, and worked very hard to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the end result.
