SCOUT DESIGN
Mike
Director
Started doing all this in 1979. So hopefully by now, I should know what I’m doing. Love creating things digitally and printed. The one thing I still want to do is photograph Britain. One day maybe!

Liz
Director
Amazing designer, art worker and illustrator. Liz creates all our artworks for printing and digital. She swears a lot at technology and would sooner levitate while the earth rotates rather than fly in a plane.
Expert in:
InDesign. Liz has designed many children’s books over the years. She can also illustrate and has a 1967 Lambretta scooter.
Jazz
Director of the Front Door
Jazz has been with us since 2012. She is a barking maniac of a terrier who won’t stop digging. She is, however, the cutest cuddliest dog ever.
Expert in:
Snoring.
Sleeping in any bed.
Changing couches to sleep on.
Digging.
Biscuits.
Turning in circles before a poo.
Cerys
Director of Numptiness
Cerys came to us from Wales where she had been found in a box with her siblings. Current things she is scared of is the dustbin lorry, shadows and thunder and fireworks. That’s it really.
Expert in:
Biscuits.
Sofa hogging.
Bed hogging.
Dog bed hogging.

Film
Using all the latest technology from multiple cinema cameras to green screen, from autocue to TV switchers, from live webinars to drones, from sound effects to live presenters, we have it covered. For events, conferences, interviews, corporate films and short stories, we plan meticulously and finish with fine detail on colour accurate monitors and up to 4K resolutions.
Photography
We’ve been photographers for over 40 years and we think we’re pretty good at it. If you’ve ever seen our office, there are cameras in every corner of every room. From the old fashioned 5x4 film cameras to the very latest 50mp digital still and video cameras - and more lenses than you can shake a stick at.
We absolutely and completely
love photography!
Design
Everything we see, feel, touch has been designed, thought about and produced with the utmost care. With graphic design, it is no less true. In the modern world, where attention spans are somewhat lacking, impact will always win the day. Great design says a huge amount about you and the product or service you are offering.
We can help with that!
Full HD or 4K
Deliver your story in HD or 4K ready for online viewing or straight to TV in the highest quality.
Pro Sound
Sound is everything. You cannot watch a film with bad sound. We’ll make sure you don’t.
Voice Over
Add a voice over to ensure your story is told as fully as possible. Much better than reading text on a screen.
Interviews
Warm, friendly chat style interviews work well. We have autocue for those who need to speak to camera but may be a little word shy.
Aerial
The world looks so different from the air. We have two drones which shoot up to 4K quality plus we are licensed by the CAA and know what’s legal.
Publication
When you’re film is ready, we’ll give you advice for where to post and how. We’ll make sure the video compression allows for smooth downloading and streaming from your websites.
Stunning photography
Show off what you do best with brilliant high resolution, fully colour graded images.
We will always shoot at the highest quality so you can reproduce your images at the right resolutions for print, social media and web, and for exhibitions and events.
We can supply files in any format you need and we will also explain the differences between them if you require.
“A total visionary who takes time to understand your vision and bring it to life whether that be visually, audibly or in marketing literature.
During times of pressure such as events there is no one better to come with a solution and a calm approach. Totally genuine and you know that he is going to do exactly what he promises.
I cannot recommend Mike and Liz highly enough. They have always been a pleasure to work with.”
Ginette, GBCC
“I have worked with Mike and Liz on many diverse projects for many years.
Be they photographic, film making or design, they always offer a fantastic, creative, innovative top quality service. From inception they take ownership of your idea, bring it to life and together your vision becomes a reality.
I cannot recommend them highly enough and they are always my go to, I absolutely love working with them.”
Fiona, Horslyx Ltd
“There are plenty of cameramen in the film and video production business but there are very few that can interpret a brief, and translate that into a stunning visual product that conveys not only the message but the emotion needed to transform it from the ordinary into something both watchable and unforgettable.
Not only can Mike do this but he does it with a relaxed professional attitude that puts everyone at their ease, and a humour that makes filming a joy.”
Carolyn, Sirius Production Company
Amazing events
If you’re going to hold an event, do it style. From projectors to video walls, lighting to dinner tables, our event partners work closely with us to ensure your event goes off without a hitch.
Oh, and why not film it or even better, livestream it and get your audience involved.
