Rebecca Hill, Marketing Manager, Elysium Healthcare

I have worked with Tim and Will at As You See It Media for the past few years and they consistently deliver on brief. They take their time to make sure they have a full knowledge of our services and understand the privacy and sensitivity required when filming or photographing at sites. It is important that the people we support have their voices heard and I trust Tim and Will to deliver on this. They have a fantastic ability to make the people we care for feel at ease while respecting confidentially issues and the results are outstanding. Tim and Will are our go-to team for video tours, masterclasses, and site photography they also film our staff and service user conferences and Elysium corporate videos.
Angela Boffy, Marketing Manager – Europe, DS Smith

"Working with Tim and his team is so very different from working with other photographers and videographers, as I view them as an extension of our own team. They have filmed everything the company needs, from announcement interviews, round tables, webinars, and social media content through to new campaign materials, plus have undertaken photoshoots of all descriptions! They treat every assignment as a story and are always full of ideas for the best way to tell it. They are brilliant at putting our interviewees at ease and really get the most out of them - which in turn generates more engaging and interesting content for us. Their work is instrumental in helping us win new business. I have now worked with As You See It in four marketing roles for four different companies during the last 15 years, and I trust them to deliver exactly what we need, and they have never let me down."
Alasdair Kirkpatrick, Owner Beacon Park Boats

"We have been working with As You See It Media for more than three years. They manage and create beautiful and engaging content for our social media channels and develop product videos and photography to promote our luxury range of boats. They have also created easy-to-follow instructional videos, which have been very popular with our customers. They have always been prompt and friendly, giving an exceptional standard of service."
‘artbeat Brecon CIC

In need of a short film to introduce our new social enterprise project, we were very fortunate to be directed by Tim Jones of As You See It Media. He attended one of our workshop sessions and out of this created a concise and superbly edited short film, expertly splicing short clips from the music being played with interviews with participants. As an unobtrusive presence during the filming and as an interviewer Tim displayed sensitivity, professionalism and a rapid understanding of the nature of our work which was then successfully conveyed through the resulting 10-minute film.
Chloe and Robin Masefield, Natural Weigh Zero Waste Shop

"Working with Tim and Will from As You See It was a breath of fresh air. As a small business, we end up doing all aspects of running a shop and marketing is one that often falls by the wayside. But Tim and Will make it an easy and seamless process, offering suggestions, a relaxed working relationship and clear explanations. They went above and beyond our expectations, and I would recommend them to anyone looking to get videos or photos of their business."
Nicola Rose-Ludvigsen – PR & Comms Manager Tenovus Cancer Care

"Tim and I worked together for many years at the BBC, and he was my storyteller of choice when I needed a producer/director for a charity video in my new role at Tenovus Cancer Care. Tim is professional, organised and efficient. He also captured the stories of the people we support with care, compassion and creativity from behind the lens. I would highly recommend Tim + Will and the team at As You See It Media to anyone working in the charity sector."
Robert Dangerfield, Country Landowners Association

"We have carried out two separate and very different projects working with Tim and Will from As You See It Media. They understood our message and what we wanted to say, and to whom, and we were guided in producing two pithy and appealing videos making use of creative scripting on paper and realising it on screen. Editing down a full-day conference into a video of just a few minutes with meaningful soundbites which build a flowing message was challenging. However, with Tim’s and Will’s support, a product emerged which fulfilled the brief and delighted us."
Duncan Fisher, Our Food

"As You See It Media regularly film our sustainable agriculture project, providing film and picture coverage of our farms and interviewing our project participants. They make things very easy for us, helping us to specify what we need, doing the filming and producing the final product for media channels. It all works like clockwork."
Carys Williams, Production Coordinator, The One Show, BBC

"Tim is a great all-rounder and a very safe pair of hands for any production. He has masses of broadcasting experience, and it's always a pleasure to work with him."
