Hello, I’m Michelle, a filmmaker, voice over artist, TV Presenter and creative storyteller with over 20 years of experience in television, production, and media. As a voice over artist, I deliver clear, articulate British narration suited for documentaries, corporate videos, tv series, film, eLearning, and commercials. My background in broadcast television has refined my pacing, diction, and delivery, bringing warmth, professionalism, and credibility to every project. I’ve worked both in front of and behind the camera as a TV presenter, director, producer, editor, and actress, giving me a deep understanding of how to craft stories that captivate audiences. My short film Sidewinder Avenue, which I wrote, directed, produced, edited, and scored, has received awards recognition and showcases my passion for cinematic storytelling and attention to detail. I’m also skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro and Audition, and have a full home studio setup including a RØDE NT1 microphone and Rode Lavalier, Scarlett 2i2 interface, Shure SM58, portable sound booth, Zoom H1 and vox barrier, allowing me to produce broadcast-quality work remotely. Whether you need a compelling visual story, a polished voiceover, or complete end-to-end video production, I bring creativity, passion, precision, and professionalism to every project.

My name is Rogan Steele. I’m a Canadian-Kiwi freelance filmmaker and Director of Photography, currently based in Melbourne, Australia and working with clients around the world. I specialise in creating clean, cinematic visuals that help brands and businesses tell compelling stories. Over the past several years I’ve worked across a wide range of productions including: • Commercial and branded content • Corporate and medical productions • Documentary and interview storytelling • Studio product photography and video • Social media content and campaign visuals • Events and live productions Whether it’s a run-and-gun documentary shoot, a carefully lit studio setup, or a polished corporate video, I bring the same focus: creating visuals that feel professional, authentic, and engaging. At the end of the day, great video is about people. The reason we care about films, brands, and stories is because we connect with the people inside them. My goal on every project is to capture that connection in a way that feels natural and cinematic. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help plan, shoot, and deliver high-quality video or photo content, I’d love to hear about your project. Feel free to reach out and we can chat about how to bring your idea to life. Cheers, Rogan
