We are fortunate enough to be working in an exciting office space this week. This is certainly not your everyday ceiling. #stjamesstreet #78stjamesstreet #propertyvideo
We headed to the incredible @extonparkvineyard at the end of last year. 🍷🍇
Here is some still from our interview setup that day 🎬

Our new cine lenses arrived today 🥳 @cookeoptics #sp3 #cine #videoproduction #cooke
Last year we produced this film for #denovosolutions , all shot within our own studio. 🎥
We were thrilled with the final result, particularly the fast pace and the black-and-white style. And most importantly, so was de novo! 😁🎬
As the sun sets on 2023, we`re looking back at what has been a very busy year for us 🌇
Shooting in lots of fascinating locations to help people tell some amazing stories, is what we do and we cant wait to do it all again next year 🥳
We sincerly hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy new year and we`ll see you again in 2024! 🎄🪩
We were recently asked to make a series of videos for a client who wanted to showcase the work they were doing on several big developments around the country.
These were hugely enjoyable to create! (despite the fact the lifts weren`t installed yet 😅)

On location this week on and around London, capturing development updates. #wembley #videoproduction #djimavic
As the #rydercup heats up we`re reminded of this interview with golf course architect Dave Sampson, which we shot earlier this year at @wentworth_club . Dave is the lead architect at the Marco Simeone Golf Club, Rome - Host of the 2023 Ryder Cup
Another fascinating shoot working alongside @fischerinstrumentation and BCW 🎬 Here’s a snap from our #dji mini 3 pro #drone at 8am this morning 👌🏻 #videoproduction #devotedfilmscorporate
Late finish last night, but #shoreditch was good fun.
Brilliant shoot with @fischerinstrumentation and @theassayoffice today 🎬
Really excited to be working in the Goldsmith Hall with @theassayoffice and @fischerinstrumentation
This is a behind the scenes shot of one of the retailers we helped highlight for @thebrentfordproject
It was a lot of fun deciding how we wanted to set up this interview shot as we wanted to show the incredible space we was in to the best of our abilities and we are very happy with the end result 😁🚗
Keeping shady under our new scrim 😎
It also helps us get a pretty nice shot 😄🎾
Reaching new heights at The Shard 🌟 We were very excited to be asked to shoot an interview in this iconic building. 🏙️🎥
Great weather to be out filming @wentworth_club with @marcosimonegolf

STOLEN ☹️ on 27th March 2023 after stopping briefly for some food, a group of 4 balaclava clad thieves smashed the back window of my car, pulled out 2 bags, one containing approximately £15k of camera equipment and the other, my MacBook Pro. Today, I got my MacBook Pro back, hooray!
Anyone who’s had their possessions stolen will know the sinking feeling, the violation of your space, the financial loss, the confidence hit and the continuous “what ifs” in the aftermath. Although I got my MacBook back, the camera equipment is long gone – I even saw the scumbags distributing the equipment on CCTV to multiple different cars, pulling up and quickly leaving, clearly an organised gang. The one silver lining to this story is that my MacBook continued to ping its location for 2 days after it was stolen. I was able to tell the police exactly where it ended up with very accurate timings (a storage facility), CCTV was checked, warrants were obtained and a storage unit containing over £100k of stolen items was uncovered. It gives us great comfort in knowing that although our camera equipment wasn’t amongst those items, many people will be getting their possessions back. We view this as a worthy investment at least.
So, what have I learnt and what’s the point of this post:
Don’t put things on view (even behind tinted glass) on the backseats of cars – it’s not insured there (a hard lesson learnt). It’s also unlikely to be insured even in the boot of the car if it’s not covered by a parcel shelf!
Put AirTags or some kind of tracker with kit. When I saw my car was broken into, I thought everything was long gone, but the ‘Find My’ app really came to the rescue.
After 10 years of Devoted Films, we’re lucky enough to own a large range of equipment, so there’s been no impact to our projects or shooting schedule. It’s onwards and upwards from here, we’ll put this behind us and continue to focus on making the best films we can for our brilliant clients ☺️🎥🎬.
Thank you, @metpolice_uk for your hard work, it’s been greatly appreciated. #videoproduction #kit #film #sony #lesson #insurance
Hopefully this cheeky sunset shot over the beeb will see you into the new week. Enjoy 😜🌇
Throwback to another day in NYC, we spent the day trying to keep up with Peter 🏃♂️👟
@imaginecurve @curve_usa
We get the luxury of working in so many amazing office spaces and Currencycloud in Central London is certainly no exception 🏢😎
With all the footage we shot for @imaginecurve @curve_usa we couldn`t help but make a few edits ourselves. We spent this day with Sydney 🏙️😎
Just stumbled across this #BTS footage of our green screen setup for Samsung and Curve last year. The #insta360 camera is so handy to have in the kit bag! #A7S3 #Aputure @holbornstudios
