Television Work
Elliot Films have, over more than 20 years, experienced making unscripted television, factual and ob-doc series, on five continents, from Japan to Sweden, Mongolia to Mexico.
From the frozen Canadian prairie to Ghanaian slums, embedding in an environment and winning trust, while capturing story, jeopardy and emotion, has been an essential part of our work.
We love to help people tell their story, while also fulfilling the need to shoot in a television friendly manner. We can adapt to a given situation or shoot to bring the best from people while fitting a format.
Our core skills built over this period are
* Building trust with contributors, allowing us to capture a story in a natural manner
* Understanding the importance of communication between ourselves, contributors and our team.
* Working effectively in production to make things happen. How can we best make a shoot happen.
* Managing a shoot on location, be it in charge of a team, multiple stories or contributors.
* Managing Kit and Rushes. With extensive location experience, we are capable of ensuring kit is ready to go, and rushes are securely backed up with an effective workflow.
* Relationship management with locations. We understand the need for strong personal and professional relationships with locations where we are guests.
We have lived the 6 star lifestyle on exclusive cruise ships, and dug for gold with those who dream to be in such company. We have helped people find love, and change their bodies and lives forever.

Telling the stories of “real” people is not all. We have told royal tales, the history of beloved series and got to grips with the science of sleep, pets and cars.

There is little we haven't done, and nothing we wouldn't take on.

Master Interview Setups
With over two decades of experience in television, we have seen vast change to how interviews are shot, and the kit used.
Naturally we have moved with the times and are happy to put together whatever look is required, be it making the best of an in-location setup with panel lights and prime lenses, or making full use of a studio setup with props, flags, green screen and down the lens using a Vox Box type kit, or standard off-camera.
We can make it bright and bubbly or moody to suit the tone, and are always happy to set the scene or follow a brief.
We can also operate sound for these setups
