Joshua Timmins , Goxhill, United Kingdom

My name is Joshua Timmins and I'm an award-winning filmmaker specialising in commercial & corporate films. I first began working as a freelance filmmaker whilst studying Film Production at the University of Derby, and after graduating with a First Class (BA)Honours I went straight into this full time as a career. I have extensive experience working within the Film Industry as a Director of Photography, shooting commercial work for various brands and companies.

Cinematography is one of my strongest attributes as a filmmaker. My extensive knowledge of composition, layering and movement combined with years of experience operating a camera has resulted in a very unique and distinctive shooting style that allows my work to stand out. I am trained on the majority of cinema cameras as well as electronic gimbals and steadicams.

Editing is one of the most important components of filmmaking and is puzzle solving at its finest. Whether it’s a narrative marketing film that showcases how your business affects real people in the real world, or a brand positioning video that displays what makes your brand unique, story should always be at the heart of a film. Through clever but simple editing, I'm able to stitch together films that not only flow and have good pacing, but also resonate with the audience on an emotional level. Softwares I use are Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premier Pro, Lightroom CC.

I've been flying drones for over 4 years and have gained over 200 hours of flying experience under my belt. Drone cinematography is completely
different to any other form of filmmaking and so I have dedicated a lot of time and effort into mastering this craft. I have an operator ID and my drone is registered and certified with the Civil Aviation Authority.

For me good communication is key from the get go in order to ensure that both myself and my client are on the same page and share the same vision.
