Kristian Coburn, Video Producer

Check out Kristian's expertise

I am a self-motivated and progress-driven Video Producer with an extensive background in creating engaging and interesting content for a wide range of clients, including Royal Caribbean, TrustFord, Lidl, McDonald's and Subway.

I produce digital content, commercials, corporate videos, short films and an award-winning documentary, and I am equally happy pulling together large crews for big budget productions or going out as a self-shooter with my own kit.

I have a solid understanding of all the various roles involved in video production and am capable of operating cameras, setting up lights and sound, interviewing contributors and editing in Premier Pro.

Throughout the course of my career, I have honed my creative abilities, working closely with clients to understand their vision and to bring their ideas to life, whilst also presenting them with new thinking and alternative strategies.

I am an astute problem solver capable of prioritising and managing complex projects with proficiency.

In my previous roles, I exercised organisation, communication, budget and time management in contribution to team efforts and organisational improvements.

I am open-minded and focused on new developments in my field. I have proven to be effective and motivational leader, with proficiency in teamwork and collaborative work, and I enjoy brainstorming and coordinating efforts to achieve a common goal.

I am a Video Producer and run a production company called Darza Productions Ltd, making online commercials and content for a wide range of clients.

My work focusses on people more than products, and I pride myself on great story telling, creating calm and well- organised working environments and beautiful results for my clients.

In the past year I have produced work for The SAND Project, a training college for young people with learning disabilities, and for Aspens, a local charity who work with Autistic children.

I have also produced and directed an award-winning short documentary entitled 'Just Add Water', all about the community of people who swim in the sea off the south coast of England all year round. I planned all aspects of the shoot, including securing funds from the Worthing & Adur Trust and a successful Kickstarter campaign, and I interviewed around fifty individual contributors. I also operated the camera, lights and sound equipment throughout the shoot and edited the film too.
