share their story with video.

The way we create videos has changed. Video production has become more affordable, efficient, and high-calibre for less time & money.

Over the past seven years I’ve produced 100s of videos for clients across the globe, finding simpler ways to get video made at scale.

In working with me I’ll ensure you get the most bang-for-your-buck as possible. 👊💥

“Ethan’s holistic approach to storytelling and understanding of our brand resulted in a compelling video that helped us exceed our crowdfunding target by 300%.

The discovery session generally takes 30 minutes - with light follow-up before moving into the planning phase.

Pre-production is where I handle the details: scripting, shot lists, locations, and talent.

That way you can stay focused on your business.
The planning phase can be as quick as a week (5 business days) - and with some shoots even quicker.

what the people say.

“What truly distinguishes Ethan is not just his technical expertise, but his remarkable intuition for capturing moments in a way that feels both authentic and deeply human.
His keen eye for detail has the power to elevate the everyday into something extraordinary, and every frame he creates weaves a narrative that extends well beyond the camera’s view. When you experience his work, you quickly realise it's not merely about the subject being filmed—it’s about the way Ethan interprets it through his unique creative lens, turning each shot into a story worth telling.

I look forward to working with Ethan on future projects.”

“Ethan was absolutely incredible to work with.

We needed him at several sites around New Zealand to help tell our story across several locations - he easily organized himself, was timely and had great communication of what would be done and what we would receive.

More than that, he is just super talented. What he produced for us is nothing short of amazing - a piece of art, but told the story we were hoping to be able to tell.

He is professional, artistic, talented and a breeze to work with. That isn't easy to find all-in-one! Looking forward to our many more projects with him.”

Andrew Casey,

“Ethan is great to work with. He has prepared several videos for our business - he researched our business so that he understood what we were trying to achieve and needed little guidance to prepare the videos we required. His rates are very good and his communication superb.”
Kay Shaw,

“Ethan is a very talented videographer and video editor that made incredible videos for our brand.
What I loved about Ethan’s work is that he truly captures the essence of your brand through his creative videos.
Ethan also makes even the most nervous at ease in front of the camera as he operates in such a way that you almost don’t notice he is there! I loved working with Ethan as it is obvious that he is passionate about his work and that showed in the content he delivered.
I totally recommend Ethan for NZ and Australian brands looking for high quality video content.”

“Ethan made an excellent video for our theatre company.
His sense of story, his craft and his coolness under pressure were all precious when dealing with theatre people with weird schedules and sudden inspirations!
His ability to inject rhythm, structure and focus has been honed by years of experience of dealing with both corporate clients and arts people. Highly recommended.”
Daniel Cotterall,

“I could not recommend Ethan more if you are looking for a video editor to grow your brand. Ethan is amazing to work with, very talented and helped me grow my YouTube channel from 6K followers to almost 20k in 1.5 years.
Ethan is always expanding his skills and gets my videos back in a timely manner. My favourite thing that Ethan does is he takes my raw video footage and makes it look so good...like way better than I had envisioned it could be.
If you are looking for some to help with editing, YouTube Marketing or social media repurposing - this is the guy for you.”
