ABOUT THE OWNER
Hi, I'm Pete Windle, photographer and owner of London based production house, Magnesium Studios. I bought my first camera at 15 and haven't put it down since.
At Magnesium, I do most of the shooting and video editing, while outsourcing most of the other tasks. Using my network of freelancers, I am able to keep costs low while maintaining the ability to tackle larger projects.
I also produce personal, documentary style projects for small businesses, non-profits, and activism groups. This work can be found here:
PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIOS
We operate out of a shared creative space with access to two state of the art photography studios.
01.
PLAN
Crafting an efficient production is all in the planning—many moving parts must be in sync. We begin with a no-obligation meeting with the client to outline the project's goals before coming back with a preliminary script and budget. Once the specifics are agreed upon, we organise the logistics.
02.
SHOOT
With detailed call sheets in hand, it's time for our favourite part - the shoot! We like to use relatively small numbers of crew and talent to keep disruption to your business to a minimum and keep costs low. We think the number of freelancers on a given project should be as low as possible, but no lower.
03.
EDIT
The scope of editing on any given project can vary widely depending on its nature, but whether you need motion graphics or retouching a photograph, we can make it happen. We use experienced post-production professionals from all over the world to keep costs to a minimum.
