"You were pretty quiet on socials last year Darren"! Yeah that's true. Wanna know why?

Mega busy, that's why. I fell into the trap again of having loads of work on and neglecting my own marketing, but I love what I do and had so many amazing adventures creating dozens of projects for dozens of clients so no harm done eh?

Everything in this video was created by me and my film company between January and December 2023. It's in landscape because I couldn't bring myself to cut good bits off the sides just to please the Facebook gods.

If you want to create promotional and marketing videos and you want to work with a friendly and (ahem) brilliant filmmaker then let me know.

I made a video shouting about an absolute game changer audio product new to the market.

This will change the way that I record audio, and will ensure that anyone struggling to get quality audio (because it's shouty and distorted, or quiet...) can have the confidence that your audio is usable. No more audio failures. Wow. Yes, really.
