Hi, I’m Daniel Haywood, a videographer with over seven years of experience, including four years in an in-house marketing department. I specialise in conceptualising marketable, narrative-driven ideas, filming them, and editing into engaging stories. I’ve created long- and short-form content for multiple brands and campaigns, from motion graphics and promos to social media campaigns and tutorials. I’m a creative thinker who embraces challenges and loves expanding my knowledge and skills. I work across production, editing, and post-production, with hands-on experience using Sony, Canon, Panasonic, DJI and GoPro cameras, and a toolkit of Adobe CC and DaVinci Resolve. Outside work, I served as a British Army Reservist and compete nationally in men’s volleyball, which keeps my teamwork and discipline sharp.
