ABOUT
CHRIS ELLIOTT
I've been working in commercial film and video production for over 10 years and as freelance camera operator and editor since 2011. In that time I've worked on a wide range of productions from multi-camera broadcasts to independent films, insightful documentaries, high-end promotional films and branded content.
In 2016 I setup Sound & Colour Films with fellow filmmaker Rick Bailey. We're a boutique production company that produces beautifully crafted films for marketing brands and businesses.
I love human interest stories and making content that captures an audience's imagination, that's why I love shooting documentary style films; at the end of the process I always feel like I've learned something new.
My passion is my craft and I'm very lucky I get to do what I love for a living. I approach each shoot with the same meticulous attention to detail that helps me deliver great work.
SERVICES
Whether you're looking for a skilled camera operator to fit into your existing crew, you need a full crew providing for a shoot or you need help developing a video concept right through to production and delivery, I've got the experience to bring your ideas to fruition.
Through my production company Sound & Colour Films we provide full-service video production to clients and agencies; specialising in beautifully crafted promotional films, branded content and documentaries.
​
I also work freelance as a Lighting Cameraman & Video Editor for some of the country's best production companies and broadcasters. I'm a confident director and self-shooter, which allows me to get the best from contributors. My experience as an editor means I'm always shooting with the finished film in mind.
