Matt Banks Films Freelance videographer - www.mattbanksfilms.com People make decisions emotionally, so you need your audience to see the story behind what you do, I can help.

In a world full of options, people make their decisions based not just on the quality of a product, but the story behind it... the way it makes them feel! All of us make our decisions emotionally then justify them logically. I can help you share your product or service's story in a truly "sticky" way, that'll help you connect emotionally with a new audience and inspire loyalty in your current one.

I've spent the last decade helping individuals, and organisations with every step of the film making process to ensure your audience is thinking about, and acting on, your story long after the credits roll.

Waiting for my flight at Dublin airport watching the Orville. Great tv shows and movies have been bringing me emmense joy ever since I was a kid and I feel all of that child like wonder watching this show! Video storytelling like this, emotional, funny, meaningful but sincere, fantastical but human, is why I started filming and editing videos for fun and later for fun and money!

Video advertising that connects with us on an aspirational level is impactful, right? It can motivate us to action unlike anything else. Remembering there's a human that'll be watching your content and connecting with them through your messaging is a craft that's well worth investing in.

Pouring a little more care and energy into the grading step of the editing process really does take the whole project to another level, right?

What a great year of filmmaking 2023 has been. Becoming a full time freelance filmmaker and getting to tell stories for a living has exceeded all my expectations. For everyone who made this year one to remember, thank you! I'm looking forward to another year of projects to be proud of with you, and creating some more videos that leave a lasting impression on the people who watch them.

I've been using steady cams and gimbals for 10 years now and they may just be my favourite film making tool. Not only has it allowed smaller productions to create incredibly impressive shots usually reserved for Hollywood but it has allowed me to be more adaptable, quicker and more creative.

When you can put the camera where you need it and move it easily, it allows film makers to focus on telling better stories and creating more captivating images all in service of leaving a lasting impression on your audience.

Let's work together on your next project!

Filming in the Austrian alps might just be the best way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Newer, more affordable and lightweight technology is allowing film makers to capture stunning images and remain flexible while out in the field. So half way up a mountain I've got all I need to tell a compelling story in a backpack!

What a great time to be making videos!

Got a project that requires a little extra flexibility and adaptability? I'd love to have a chat about it with you. No snow required!

Want to create a high quality video that leaves a lasting impression on your audience?

Don't want the hassle, excessive cost and slow workflow that often comes with hiring big production companies and agencies?

It was a real privilege to film at this incredible gym with this incredible personal trainer in Canary Wharf.

This shoot was a reminder to me that the most important thing about creating a video isn't the flashy production, the 4k cameras, the great lighting or even the subject of your film doing something impressive (all of which we had in abundance on this shoot.) The most important element of any video is leveraging these things towards helping people to connect with the humanity of your story.

People want to connect with people and whatever business we're each in, we're first and foremost in the people business.

Our ability to understand, communictate to and connect with people will be the difference between stories and videos that we watch and forget and those that leave a lasting impression.

Delivering presentations to camera doesn't have to be boring!

In this extract from an educational resource I recently shot and edited for a leadership network, we paired some great storytelling with beautiful camera quality, professional titles, creative pop-ups and carefully chosen music to make this video as engaging as possible.

I'm confident it'll leave an impression on it's audience.

This is a short sequence from a film I've been working on for a London based personal trainer to set him apart from the competition. Giving your audience a video to introduce yourself and what you offer is a great way of inspiring trust and motivating action.

Using my own cinema camera and gimbal we were able to remain agile, which was essential for getting great shots with natural light at golden hour in busy landmark locations.

I believe that more agile film making is not just better for budget but better for storytelling.

"The Creator" is a new film from director Gareth Edwards, that's shaken the film industry up. Not only is it astoundingly beautiful and top quality sci-fi storytelling but it was shot on a tiny pro-sumer camera that costs just £4,000. Allowing a level of film making flexibility that's captured the imagination of film makers and storytellers everywhere.

In an interview with Gareth Edwards, he talks about his time traveling around Indonesia with a handheld dslr to capture test footage for the prospective movie. He loved the images and the freedom with which he could move from location to location so much he decided to shoot the whole movie on a small camera rather than the conventional 100lb camera rigs used in other Hollywood blockbusters.

Not only did this decision allow him to keep the films budget to 80 million (which is a lot to us regular folk but a tiny budget for a project like this) but I believe it helped him, and the whole team, to tell a better story!

Us camera geeks are always tempted to go big on gear, but often times a project is better served and time and money stretched further when we can be picky with the gear we need and don't need to tell a great story!

If you're not sharing the story behind what you do then people who would love doing business with you are missing out on the opportunity to do so.

One of the most overlooked reasons people aren't inspired to act on an offer is because they can't see the "aspirational emotion" attached to your product, service or brand.

People want their decisions to say something aspirational about themselves. We buy James Bonds omega watch because we want to feel sophisticated and exciting, we donate time and money to a charity we care about because we want to feel like we're someone who makes a difference in the world. Sharing what you do through the lens of aspirational emotions helps your audience connect with the why behind what you offer and can inspire loyalty that lasts a lifetime.

I help organisations create videos around the idea of aspirational emotions to help inspire audience's towards action.

I'd love to have a conversation about creating a video for you.

Last month I got the opportunity to work with Monkey World - Ape rescue centre, on some video projects.

This is an organisation that has become unbelievably successful in their mission and inspired people all over the world to partner with them through their creative use of video storytelling.

Whatever industry you're in, helping people to connect emotionally with the product or service you offer is a powerful way to inspire action from your audience because people make their decisions emotionally and then justify those decisions logically.

I'd love to have a conversation with you about creating a video to help you inspire your audience to action.

24/10/2023

People make decisions emotionally, so you need your audience to see the story behind what you do, I can help.

I help people in every industry create videos that leave a lasting impression on their audience.
