Renaissance Ryan

I am a self-shooting director/producer, camera operator, and editor with a background in short film, corporate video, commercials, and music videos. I’m funny, nerdy, and passionate about storytelling.

A maestro at juggling budgets, resources, and the intricate dance of delivering successful video campaigns, I thrive in coordinating shoots, orchestrating post-production, and bringing together talented freelance teams to turn ideas into vibrant realities.

I find joy in the complexities of life, celebrating failures through the lens of comedy. My creative palette is bold, delving into profound concepts and strong genres while telling down-to-earth stories through larger-than-life adventures.

I’m now looking for new projects. Whether you need a producer to lead a team, a solo videographer, or an assistant on other shoots, I’m ready to bring your vision to life. Let’s collaborate!

Where my talents lie…

Producing

From booking crews, managing travel arrangements, and organizing accommodation, to collaborating closely with clients and deciphering project briefs - I excel in coordinating every aspect of a project. My proficiency with spreadsheets and my knack for creative problem-solving make me a reliable asset in ensuring smooth project execution. I’m a great leader and huge people person.

Directing

I relish in creating and sharing a vision with a team of talented creatives to bring that vision to life. Writing and creating scripts and treatments, I bring my humour, passion and fascination with what makes people tick to the films I create. On set, I’m a positive force of creativity. I love making the everyday seem extraordinary through the magic of imagination and filmmaking.

Camera Operating

From live studio environments with Notts TV to polished corporate shoots, I bring a keen eye for visual storytelling to every frame. I’m a Blackmagic owner-operator (BMPCC 6K Pro & 4K), but I adapt quickly to whatever system the job calls for, including Sony, Canon, and Lumix. I thrive on tailoring compositions for various digital platforms, though I have a soft spot for static, video-postcard framing where impeccable composition allows real moments to speak for themselves.

Editing

Every story gets found in the editing room, I love being the one to find it. I’ve used a range of programs to do so, Premiere Pro, DaVinci, and even Avid, although I haven’t used Avid since university (great to know though, right?). On time and organized. I love adding extra flair with motion graphics, special effects and animations with After Effects. I’ve even created 3D animations using Blender because I love taking on new projects!
