- We're like an agency, but we're not. -
​
Based in the United Kingdom, we are a "skatterling" of creative vagabonds who film, photograph, write & design the heck out of content for big-name clients the world over.
We also design, write, photograph, & film the heck out of content for humble brands, who don't roll on those massive agency budgets from the nineties.
​
We're a workshop of award-winning creatives working together to produce content that punches way above its budget. Together we combine light years of experience working under pressure in some of the most difficult and glamorous locations all over the planet.
Please take a scroll down to see what we do and check out some of our work. And then, if you fancy give us a shout, we'd love to chat about your project.

Our experience in making film ranges from broadcast TV series through to short social media content.
Our vagabonds have conceptualised & created award winning TV series across a wide range of subjects, some spanning 10 consecutive seasons & more than 350 episodes.
​
We also specialise in producing corporate & short format social hits telling stories through micro & macro documentaries for a wide range of clients on social media.
Our vagabonds are also available for hire to do camera work, traditional and FPV drone filming, editing, producing and directing for your productions. We also own all our tools, which means no hefty hire fees to dent your budget.

"It's not about capturing what everyone else can see.
It's about creating what no one else saw."
​
Our team's experience in professional stills began when cameras used a thing called film and we had just 36 frames on a roll to nail it. A wrong camera setting and you could kiss your career goodbye.
​
In the time between then and now we've photographed cars & people & adventure & sport & fashion & travel.
We've photographed famous faces like Brad Pitt, Nelson Mandela & even The Stig. Yes, we know who he is! But if we told you, you know what we'd have to do.
We've been commissioned to shoot on every continent from the frozen surface of Antarctica to the dry Atacama desert, and the commissions for stills work have come from a broad range of global brands, magazines, sporting events & most of the world's car manufacturers.
​
We've seen shoots go bat **** crazy in sand storms and blizzards and we've learned how to save the day. We've seen shoots go belly up just because it was raining and we've had to save the day.

​
From large format billboards to stand out social posts our vagabond designers transform our custom content into power designs.
​
We've provided one off solutions through to long term campaigns with brands and social media managers to establish the look and feel of their social campaigns.
​
We also specialise in fast turn around design, perfect for live sport events or clients who need to populate their hungry social channels pronto.
​
When combined with our bespoke film, photography and design service it serves as a surprisingly cost effective and efficient way of staying on top of an ever hungry social media monster.

If you've come this far down the web site, thank you.
It also means you've probably been doing a lot of reading and another blurb about how we could write your press release or develop your social media tone of voice is only going to send you back into that TikTok wormhole.
​
So yes, we have talented writers who specialise in a very wide range of subjects for long form magazine articles or press releases. Short social media posts or clever copy writing are also our bag.
​
Our writing really comes into play on projects that take advantage of our wider range of services. So to save you from more convoluted reading check out this link below to see a few projects where writing has been an ingredient of our full range of services.

DRONE
You want aerial shots of the car on the track? Sure thing!
How close? How fast?
​
We're a bunch of tech-loving vagabonds and were among the earliest adopters of drone tech when rumors first started doing the rounds. We over invested too early and sweated as the tech got cheaper, smaller, safer and better. We learned. A lot!
​
As cinematographers and photographers we see drones as another camera in our kit. And we don't just know how to fly them, we know how to shoot with them.
We specialise in conventional drone camera work and our vagabonds are also experts in FPV flying. That's the radical stuff that looks like a fighter pilots point of view.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
​
As media has evolved we've gone from working with art directors, magazine editors and broadcast commissioners, to lots and lots of social media managers. Or as we call you, Social Tactitions.
​
But the one thing you all have in common is the desire for great content. But the rate at which social media monsters consume that content is frighting. Don't get us wrong, we're not calling your audience the monsters,
we call the platforms monsters.
No sooner have you fed the platform with an amazing piece of content and like a baby bird,
no wait that's too cute. Like a baby demigorgon, they are wide mouthed and demanding more content.
​
The problem is that curated demigorgon snacks are usually expensive,
and unless as we mentioned at the top of the site, you have a nineties-style advertising budget,
it seems impossible to keep the little monsters happy.
​
This is where we come in. The final piece of the puzzle. The media workshop.
We work together with social media managers, or we even act as your social tactician to work with you on your strategy, look 'n feel, even your tone of voice.
And then we get to work to supply you with all the content your platform's demigorgon kittens desire.
​
When combined as a full service it's surprisingly budget friendly because of how we've structured Skatterlings Media Workshop and we have clever ways of working with any budget to deliver content that punches sky high above the budget.
​
