Meet the team behind As You See It Media

Tim Jones

Creative Director

Tim cut his teeth in local newspapers, before progressing through local and national radio to become a political correspondent at BBC Westminster. From there, he pursued his passion for cameras to become a lighting cameraman and TV Producer/Director for BBC News. Tim toured the World and did stints in Washington and war-torn Iraq before returning to Wales to make programmes for the BBC. He has worked on investigations and consumer programmes, food films and unscripted items, including Wales Investigates, Panorama, Countryfile and The One Show. In 2013, Tim seized the opportunity to go freelance and offered his writing, film production, photography, and marketing services to companies and charities, mainly in Wales and the West of England. He has the experience you need to hone your brand story and tell it in a way which will grab attention and win new leads for your business.

Lewis was a photography-mad A-Level student who was a whizz with a Canon 5D, image editing and retouching when he joined As You See It Media in 2023. Since then, he has learned the craft of video camerawork and editing. He’s brilliant at social media and brings a young person’s perspective to marketing.

Rebecca Hill, Senior Marketing & Communications project Manager, Elysium Healthcare

"I have worked with 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 As You See It Media 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.

They 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."
Bethan Collins, Research and Development Officer, Sparkle

"As You See It Media produced a video tour and a series of webinars for our charity earlier this year. Tim and the team were fantastic throughout and made the project run smoothly. We really appreciated the pre-meeting with Tim, where he took the time to really understand what we do and our services, then advised us on the best way to achieve our goal and within budget. We had several nervous 'tour guides' and panellists, but the team were great at putting everyone on camera at ease. The service and support during the editing and finalising process was also brilliant and the team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely work with As You See It again."
James Jenkins, Dentist and Practice Owner, Crickhowell Dental Practice

"I have recently used Tim & Lewis from As You See It Media to produce a video banner for the new website for my dental practice. I have been blown away by the results. They were extremely professional, well organised & efficient with their filming process & communication with us. Tim’s creative eye was superb & we now have a video banner that captures everything we wanted to portray and it looks even better than I had imagined. I will be working with them again in the near future!"
Dave Edwards, Senior Deputy Headteacher, Gwernyfed High School

"Excellent service provided by As You See It Media. They came to produce a promotional video of our school. The finished video was superb in every aspect. The staff were amazing and extremely helpful. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly."
Kasia Howard – Engagement Manager, The Landmark Trust

"I have worked with As You See It many times over five or so years and am so pleased with all the videos that Tim has created. He is a great collaborator, puts people at ease when they are being interviewed and is patient enough to deal with fluffs and fallout! A true professional. Highly recommended."
Robert Dangerfield, Country Landowners Association

"We have carried out two separate and very different projects working with 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 As You See It Media's support, a product emerged which fulfilled the brief and delighted us."
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 and the team at As You See It Media to anyone working in the charity sector."
Emma Staggs, Owner, Beacons Bluff Escapes

"I had the pleasure of meeting the team through a local tourism group. From the get go our interactions have been professional, prompt and productive.

I worked with As You See It Media, who were reliable, responded to queries quickly and his work was fantastic. Such a find!"
Janine Price – Walking the Brecon Beacons

"I highly recommend As You See It Media, I have had the pleasure to work alongside the team in a number of my roles. They always capture the moment perfectly! Friendly, efficient and excellent service - they always go the extra mile."
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 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 they 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."
