“We tell and take in stories as much as we sleep, and even then, we dream.” – Robert McKee
Your story is the part your competitors can’t copy.
There are probably plenty of businesses that offer something similar to you.
They might have similar services, similar qualifications, similar pricing or even a similar-looking website.
But they don’t have your story.
A brand film gives people the chance to meet the person behind the business. To hear why you do what you do, understand what matters to you and get a sense of what it might actually feel like to work with you.
Before someone sends an enquiry, books a call or chooses to work with you, they’re looking for a reason to trust you.
More than a beautiful video
A great brand film should look professional, but that’s only part of what makes it work.
It should sound like you. It should capture the things you naturally say when you’re talking to a client, the stories that explain why your business exists and the little details that make the way you work different to everyone else.
That’s why I don’t start with creating a script.
I start by getting to know you.
Before we film, we’ll talk through your business, your clients and the story you want people to hear. From there, I’ll help develop the direction for your film and the questions that will help us draw that story out naturally.
When filming day arrives, you don’t need to perform or remember pages of carefully written lines. We’ll just have a conversation.
I’ll ask the questions, guide you through your answers and help you forget, as much as possible, that there’s a camera sitting in front of you.
Especially if you hate being on camera.
Some of my favourite people to film are the ones who tell me beforehand that they’re terrible on camera.
Because being ‘good’ on camera isn’t really the goal. The goal is feeling comfortable enough to be yourself.
I’ve spent more than ten years filming hundreds of business owners, and a huge part of my job has become knowing how to make that experience feel less intimidating.
There’s no expectation that you’ll know exactly what to say, where to look or what to do with your hands.
I’ll guide you through it.
And along the way, the camera tends to become a lot less important than the conversation we’re having.
A film that introduces you before you ever meet.
Your brand film can sit at the heart of your website, giving potential clients an opportunity to hear from you rather than simply read about you.
They can see your personality, hear the way you speak and watch you doing what you do best.
And by the time they reach out, they already have a sense of who you are.
That’s what I want your brand film to do.
Not just explain your business, but help people connect with the person behind it.

You don’t need to know exactly what your brand film should say yet, that’s what we’ll figure out together.

Toastmasters Ipswich
Rachel was the most understanding and helpful videographer and helped us to develop a beautiful promotional video for our not-for-profit Toastmasters Clubs for the Western Division of Queensland. She was professional, supportive and worked so well with our subjects who feel empowered and so proud of the product. I can’t recommend Rachel (and Cynthia) more highly for their enthusiasm. ideas, understanding of our intent and collaboration to bring our vision to the screen. A beautiful human being. Thank you.

I was recommended Rachel by a contact at QUT University and I am so grateful. Rachel’s communication was clear and professional from my first enquiry to my last final edits phone call. She listened to my suggestions, concerns, questions and always made wonderful suggestions and offered alternative solutions. I was very nervous during the ‘interview’ filming and stumbled often. Rachel made the video completely seamless, and That is a gift. Her quote is very reasonable and I’m absolutely thrilled with the result. I highly recommended Rachel and will continue to work with her for all future camera work.

OT Time Kids Therapy
Rachel has assisted me for nearly 5 years with recording and editing the video content for my online courses and educational videos. Rachel has an excellent eye for detail and was able to create a set using what I had on site and the outcome was amazing. My videos look natural, welcoming and professional. More recently due to COVID restrictions I had to do my own filming and Rachel assisted me to create my own set at home and coached me through using my DSLR camera, lighting and design. She then edited the videos for me so I could upload them to Kajabi. She knew exactly how to coach a non-techy person like me through this. She is such a warm and friendly person and I wouldn’t use anyone else. She just gets me and what I want.
