"On all the occasions I've worked with Rich Mitchell he has over delivered. Intelligent, focused, collaborative, Rich solves any situation that arises - however unexpected or challenging. Whether working with a very tight brief or filming in an environment requiring flexible, decisions to react quickly to changing conditions, his approach, experience and level headedness make him a true professional."
CHARLIE WATSON – PRODUCER - MD PACKHORSE CDir TANTRUM

I’ve been making films professionally for over 20 years. I love photography, storytelling and getting the most from every variety of contributor. I’m happy to get involved at any point in the creative process: I’ve worked with next to no brief “shooting from the hip”, to realising precise storyboards and scripts for promos, idents and commercials. I've made highly successful content for digital, branded and social that have generated millions of hits and numerous nominations and awards - working from concept to delivery.

I shoot, direct and edit. I jump at the chance to combine my experience in all these areas.

I’ve got industry standard camera kit and lenses (Sony FX6 and FX3 as A and B-Cam) and a lighting package that can creatively illuminate interviews and more complex set-ups. I also have a Mavic 2 Pro Drone and DJI RS2 PRO gimble, to add instant production value to any shoot.

I also shoot 360/VR films which can be found on my website www.MonkeyScience.com

By hiring me, my kit and years of experience my ambition is to give you a great film and more bang for your budget.

“Rich Mitchell is a hugely talented DOP and filmmaker, who I’ve worked with on documentaries all over the world, including in Cambodia, Pakistan, Seychelles, Armenia and Brazil. He is dedicated and hardworking, shoots beautifully, and most importantly, he is a cool head under pressure. He is also great with contributors and helps create a relaxed atmosphere when filming.”

“Rich is someone you can always rely upon to deliver at the highest standard as director or cinematographer and a super nice guy and collaborator to work or travel with.”
STUART WRIGGLESWORTH - MD/PRODUCER AT TANTRUM PRODUCTIONS

“I’ve worked with Rich for over a decade on a wide range of projects: from SFX shots for Jeff Wayne’s immersive theatre production of “War of the Worlds” to high end corporate films for clients such as Ford and Palantir. He has a great mix of experience, technical knowledge and creative ideas that always adds value to a project.”
