Video Services on Okinawa

Whether you're looking for a promotional video, a YouTube Channel intro video or stock footage from around the island. I have the ability, the equipment and track record to provide you with a professional and cost effective service.

Okinawa lends itself perfectly as a backdrop for video production whether promotional, factual or for content marketing. An astonishing array of traditional and modern locations are to be found throughout the island whilst the Northern Forested regions, known as the 'Yanbaru', are home to some of Japan's most iconic, species of wildlife. Service diversity is not limited solely to terrestrial options. Underwater, Okinawa has some incredibly complex and colourful reef systems stocked with a myriad of tropical and pelagic species. Whales play in these waters during their Winter transits whilst colourful legions of tropical fish species can be encountered year round.

I've been involved with video production as a cameraman for the past 25yrs. I'm the proud recipient of an Emmy Award for contributions made to the 'Great Migrations' series by National Geographic. In this time I've filmed in numerous locations throughout Micronesia, Indonesia, Southern Africa and Japan. Beyond filming I have experience in editing, writing and complete production management. As a Field Producer with National Geographic I would receive a briefing, a mission, a completion date and as a 'One Man Band' take care of all aspects of the project including it's budgeting boundaries.

I have confidence in my abilities mixed with the extensive creative connections in Okinawa to accomplish your video project goals to a standard beyond initial expectations. To this end, I look forward to working with you. Please feel free to reach out and contact me in order to discuss your project so that I can evaluate it and thus provide you with a comprehensive production overview and financial plan.

For project that require additional crew I have access to a range of professional entities right here in Okinawa. From recording artists to models and talent as well as technical services, location managers, fixers, transport and logistic elements. The answer is "Yes", now what's the question...!
