I started Sharp Films straight out of university in July 2014, starting from scratch is a real challenge, and you soon realise that the road ahead could get a bit bumpy, which it did.  Year on year my business grew, so did the list of equipment required to do a great job for my clients.  I love my work, the people I meet, the places I travel too and the achievements made and I feel that this show’s in my work. 2017 has turned out to be the best year yet with some really interesting, unique and creative jobs. I have had a lot of repeat business from some of my dedicated clients that love the work I create for them. Also, I have worked with many new clients throughout 2017 which have all been extremely happy with the service we provided. Everything has stepped a notch throughout the year. The Kit, The style and the knowledge has all good bigger and better which means I can keep up the high standard of work that makes Sharp Films stand out from the rest. 2018 is looking like its going to be even more epic, with lots of big plans and exciting shoots in the pipeline.

The Clients  – Video Production Exeter

During 2017 I had the pleasure of  meeting and working with lots of fantastic talented people who produce, or are involved with, an array of services, products or activities.  The list is growing, so is the diversity of work, involving the tough extremes of Downhill Biking, to working with Virgin Atlantic, or filming the Exeter Food Festival. It’s not just my own projects I work on, I also work as a second camera operator along with talented Steven Brooks,  on high end productions for a variety of Blue Chip companies. We have a special relationship with our clients. I am taken back by some of the unique ideas that some people turn into really interesting businesses, like a mobile cocktail bar, or exquisite handmade shoes, or a personalised range of outdoor clothing.  The special relationship with our clients extends to consultation, suggestions and recommendation aimed to help boost their presents on the internet. I am really looking forward to seeing what 2018 has to offer and if it was anything like 2017, I cant wait!

The Kit – Exeter Based Videographer

We invested heavily into new kit in 2017 and intend keeping this investment going into the latest tech throughout 2018. It’s important to keep up to date with the latest kit as technology is moving so fast, you can soon be left behind. We added new Camera’s, Gimbals, Lens’, Editing Equipment and much more to the fleet last year. This means that we can be creating the best work possible as we aren’t restricted by the tech. All of our camera’s shoot in ultra sharp 4K and with the gimbal you can capture shots you would never imagine possible. Here is a kit list showing the range of some our video kit we have:

• Sony FS5 / A7SII
• Canon 70 – 200 2.8 / Canon 16-35mm 2.8 / Sigma 24-35mm F2.0 / Just too many to mention….

• Manfrotto & Vinten Proffeshional Video Tripods

Event Video Production Exeter:

Edge Watersport’s is an extreme sports company based in Exmouth. They run a Stand up paddle boarding race every year called “The Exe Hammer”. I was approached by Edge water-sports to cover the event to show and unique and fun it really is. Of course we jumped at the opportunity of spending a day shooting this brilliant little event and off we went!  

The Event :

“This 12km Stand Up paddleboard race/regatta is taking a different route for 2016 with the participants paddling from Topsham back to Exmouth as opposed to the other way round in previous years. This change of direction will enable a much easier start at the Topsham quay which will be great for spectating. The post event party is set to take place at The Beach house which provides an amazing venue for a few beers and some after race banter!” –  (http://www.edgewatersports.com/exe-hammer)  

The Shoot :

The forecast for the event was looking a little iffy but even the strong winds didn’t put anyone off! I started to shoot everyone getting themselves prepared and briefed for the race ahead. This is one of the key moments to shoot at any event! Trying to capture the excitement, atmosphere and maybe even a little nerves. The media speed boat turned up, we jumped in and the race was on! It was a tricky event to film as trying to get a steady shot on a boat is always a challenge, I also had it in mind that I wanted to capture as many people as possible from novice’s right up to the pro’s. Paul Simmons really smashed it this year and won by  a mile, this meant that we had to race onto dry land to shoot him coming onto the beach and logging his time. As people started coming over the line the atmosphere really warmed up and it was easy to capture people smiling and having a great time. The beers and food then came out and it was a perfect end to a great event and shoot.  

The Film:

Capturing an event like this is always a pleasure to do. Filming people when they are having a great time laughing and smiling makes putting an event film together so much easier. Its all about showing the event off in the best possible light. Exe Hammer 2016 was a joy to shoot and we hope that we can go back next year and do it all again.

Hello and welcome to Sharp Films Exeter, Devon.. its a pleasure to have you!

My name is Chris and I run Sharp Films. I’m sure by now you have had a good look around the website but just incase you haven’t I wanted to give you a little bit of info about what Sharp Films is and what I do!

Whats it all about ?

So, Sharp Films is Chris From Exeter,  Devon. I have been a videographer and editor for about 5 years now and after graduating from Falmouth University with a 2nd Class Honours in Digital Media, I decided to chase my dream. I have always wanted to run my very own video production company in Exeter and so, I did! I set up In Motion Media in 2014 which is a sister company to Sharp films. In Motion Media concentrates mainly on automotive films, as I am a massive petrol head. I wanted to start creating more promotional content and set up Sharp films, just for this purpose. Sharp films number one aim is to create stunning video content at an affordable yet competitive rate. I am extremely passionate in the art of film making and every project I embark on, no matter the subject or time scale always put 110% into. I want to create something that is unique and that will show off your product or service in the best possible light. I have worked with some big names such as The discovery Channel, Epic TV, Saltrock and Markerstudy. Just being myself at Sharp Films enables me to keep my prices lower and pass the savings onto you… Happy days!

What we do?

The Link between social media and good video content is growing stronger by the day. It’s so important to have good good quality and engaging content as you have the potential to be sharing your product or service with millions of people in an instance.

If you want a short sharp video for Instagram, Facebook or Twitter then this is the package for you! I come to you, shoot, edit and return with in 48 hours.

I work around the South West but always more than happy to travel.
