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

Hey there! I’m a 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿 / 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 with over 5+ years of experience of professional experience from 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲, 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 🇦🇺
Some of the past clients I’ve worked with are Australian Digital Holdings, University of Chicago and a multitude of B2B companies reach the top of their industries.
🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝟭𝟬-𝟭𝟱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸?
That's how much time most podcasters or marketing managers waste on editing, clipping, and formatting. I take your raw recording and produce everything. Full episode. Social clips. Thumbnails. Show notes. You never touch a timeline again. Have worked finance, tech, coaching, health, culture and education. Interview shows and solo episodes. Multi-camera editing for in-studio shoots. Remote podcast with Riverside, StreamYard, or Zoom.
🔹 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗲?
What separates me from most podcast editors on this platform is that I actually run a podcast.
I created and produced the Creating Freedom Podcast. 26-episode limited interview series. Did the whole thing myself. Concept. Filming. Editing in Premiere Pro and After Effects Did the whole thing myself, start to finish. Concept through to distribution.I don't just edit podcasts. I know what it's like to make one.
🔹 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜'𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁
When I watch your episode, I can tell where people will drop off. I can feel which moments have enough energy to stand on their own as YouTube Shorts or LinkedIn video clips.
Every clip I pull is hand-selected. I watch the full episode. No auto-cutting tools. No AI clipping. The moments that work on social aren't the ones a transcript picks up. They're in the delivery. The shift in someone's voice. The pause before they say something real. You have to watch it to catch it.
🔹 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵.
➤ You're spending 5 to 15 hours on each episode. Editing, cutting clips, formatting for platforms, writing descriptions. Time you should be putting toward content and guests.
➤ Your episodes probably look a bit different every week. The intro changes. Graphics are inconsistent. Turnaround is unpredictable. Your audience notices, even if they can't articulate why.
➤ You know you should be repurposing content for social. You see other shows posting clips that get traction on Reels, Shorts, TikTok clips, LinkedIn. But actually doing it, finding moments, editing each one, adding captions, formatting for every platform, that's basically a second full time job.
➤ And if you've hired editors before who just delivered generic cuts with no feel for your show, I understand the hesitation.
I'm here to take that whole problem off your hands.
🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁
Send me your files. I take it from there:
➤ Full episode editing, video and audio sync, multi cam or single cam
➤ Custom intros, outros and branded graphics
➤ Cold opens that hook viewers in the first few seconds
➤ Social media clips with captions for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and LinkedIn
➤ Thumbnails
➤ Titles, descriptions and show notes
➤ ~3-4 days turnaround on standard edits
🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵
I've worked with Gray Capital (finance), TensorWave (AI/tech), SME Centre of AI (tech/education), Business Benchmark, University of Chicago (education), National Flight Training Alliance (aviation), and plenty more across coaching, dating and culture.
"His work was always on time, and up to specs. He added a lot of value, and brought great ideas to the table."
🗣️ Kevin T., Creative Director
"David does amazing work and is incredibly easy to work with!"
🗣️ Matt B., Gray Capital
🔹 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲’𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿
→ Step 01 - Brief Chat
Quick chat about your show, your style, what you need.
→ Step 02 - Onboarding
I gather your podcast details, target audience, tone, brand assets. Invite any teammates I'll be working with. I set you up with a project tracker so we're on the same page.
→ Step 03 - Editing & Creation
Once you submit your first episode, I start with a production plan before it hits the timeline. I run a 5-pass editing stage for video and audio, leaving nothing out. Goal is to get 90% of the way there on our first episode together.
→ Step 04 - Review & Revisions
You get the edit on Frame-io. Click the frame, leave a note. Done.
→ Step 05 - Final Delivery
Once approved, download your finished video.
