Consultant Work As a consultant, I can give feedback on your video idea, script, or existing edit and offer suggestions to improve its engagement and memorability. I can work with you to help express your strategies and ideas more cinematically and with more emotional impact. Technically, if you have an idea for a video but are stuck on what to do next, I can help guide you through the production process. I will contribute ideas on whether your video is best handled with only animation, whether you need to shoot footage and interviews, or whether you can use stock footage with voice-over. I can help you avoid the pain of doing rounds of edits only to realize your approach was wrong at the start. And I can also help with detailed technical knowledge of camera work, scripting, editing, color correction, and sound mixing. Cheers, Stephen Hutchinson
