Ever since I can remember, I've always had a passion for film, video and storytelling. For more than 14 years working as a video producer - both as a part of a team and managing my own clients - I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of passionate individuals and companies, helping them to achieve their objectives through tailored video content.

I’ve been lucky enough to work in a wide range of roles in production process; from scripting and filming, to editing and post-production, giving me a well-rounded skillset. This wide range of knowledge across the whole production process works towards the same fundamental need; to deliver a client’s messaging and its fine details. The forming of a unique narrative for a client is what I love the most about the production process.

Below you will find a range of testimonials from people I’ve worked with. I look forward to working with you to see your next project come to life.

Suzanna Mannion
Mt. Beautiful Winery - Marketing Manager

“Michael was an absolute joy to work with; both articulate, friendly, good natured and timely. He brought just the type of creativity and technical skill needed for our six video project. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again and highly recommend him.”

PAUL FAIRBAIRN
Imagic Creative Agency - Managing Director

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Michael over the last 4 years. Michael is a rare mix of right brain and left brain. Exceptionally creative and talented, with an analytical eye for the details. He understands the clients big picture for their project, not just making it look great but making sure it communicates the message clearly and concisely. There is not a lot Michael can’t do when making video. He directs, shoots, edits and is a most excellent animator. If you want to get the job done, no fuss and on time get Michael. That’s what we do.”

NICOLA SMITH
2KAHA TV SHow - Producer

“Michael is great to work with, whether kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) or remotely. He has a modern sensibility, meaning he doesn‘t have to be in the same physical space as you to fully comprehend and deliver on the brief. If you are after a quick turn-around without compromising quality he is your man. Michael is positive, polite and a great communicator - traits that can be hard find these days.”

JULIE WEATHERALL
Primefocus - Producer / Director

“Even though I’m in Auckland, I chose to work with him as I already knew the quality of his work and high skill level. He is a confident, creative, multi-skilled ideas man. He is always positive and pleasant to work with, and has a high level of communication skills. He is thorough, hard-working and self-motivated. I have enjoyed working with Michael and his creative talent, and I will continue to do so.”

Jason Koster
Fit Futures Learning Institute

“We wanted to deliver a high end, professional product that students would find engaging as well as entertaining. Despite the demand for a quick turn-around, Michael was able to not only deliver the videos we were after well ahead of schedule, but also with elegant graphics and a perfect flow.”
