Nick Jesper
DIRECTOR / FILMMAKER
MY WORK
About ME
I'm an award-winning videographer based in South West London
with over 15 years of filmmaking experience.
​
I've made films for some of the UK's biggest brands
as well as a variety of documentaries for television.
Services
​I provide a complete video production service from initial pre-production through to final delivery.
I tend to work end-to-end, from shaping the idea and directing through to filming, interviewing and editing.
​​
Much of my work focuses on drawing out natural, authentic interviews and then structuring
a narrative in the edit to produce a final video that’s engaging and true to the organisation.​​
​​​
Working with companies such as Channel 4, EY and KPMG on corporate and documentary-style content,
- everything from brand and recruitment films to internal communications and case studies.
​
Often supporting marketing and communications teams with content that needs to land well
both internally and externally; asking key questions such as: “what does the video need to achieve,
who are the audience and how quickly does it need to be made?”.
Filming
Arranging all filming logistics such as budgets, locations, schedule, shot list, equipment and personnel. With over 15 years’ experience of camera operating, location lighting and sound recording, I ensure all of the project goals from the pre-production stage are fulfilled and that everything runs to time on the day.
EDITING
A wealth of experience editing everything from short-form content for social media to podcasts and feature length documentaries. I also provide all necessary technical services – such as colour correction and grading, sound editing and mixing,
voiceover and subtitles.
EVENTS
Capturing the atmosphere, key moments and emotions of live events - such as conferences and awards ceremonies. Interviewing speakers, sponsors and attendees for quick testimonials to use in the final edit.
GRAPHICS
Creating animated elements within Adobe After Effects to support the narrative and add visual interest.
Often taking logos, diagrams, stats etc and bringing them to life using
motion graphics.
LIVE STREAMING
Extensive experience of
live-streaming events,
conferences and
internal meetings within
the corporate sector.

"Nick produced, directed, shot and edited a feature length documentary on an extremely tight budget and produced a phenomenal result. He worked brilliantly with the on-screen talent and had an instinctive understanding of how to tell the story. Not only that, he shot it creatively and beautifully. Not just professional, he was a delight to work with; enthusiastic, level-headed, collaborative and keen to deliver something that worked for the channel. I look forward to working with him again soon; he's a real talent."
Lina Prestwood
Channel 4
“We worked with Nick on the creation of a complete set of new recruitment videos for P&G. Nick was incredibly helpful in bringing our vision to life, he listened carefully to the brief and worked in true partnership to make it become a reality. He perfectly balanced creating something we wanted and being respectful of our choice, whilst bringing his knowledge and expertise to the shoot and edit to ensure we created the best possible end product.”

“I have worked with Nick on a number of occasions over the years and it has always been a total pleasure to do so. Most recently on work produced for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Nick is a great director both of the visuals on a project and also the content and the story being told.
He has a real ability to adapt to different situations and to find empathy with the people and subjects of the films being made.
He also has an uncanny ability to put the clients, crew and subject at ease and will always obtain solid insightful content.
Every project I have worked with Nick on has had a clear and tangible benefit from his engagement. He is a real joy to work with.”
Eoin Dowdall
MD, Kartoffel Films
"Nick produced one of the best candids videos we’ve ever had created - and there have been a few! - if not the best and the client (New Balance) was over the moon with it. It was an absolute pleasure working with him, he made my life so much easier by just getting on with it and requiring so little from any of us to make it work. How he did it, I’ll never know and I can honestly say that I have never had an easier time working with an on-site filmmaker as I did with Nick. I really look forward to working with him again soon."
