Film and photography, start to finish.

Sagar Subhash. I write it, shoot it, cut it and grade it — so the film comes back from one person instead of three suppliers and a handover. London and the South East.

What I take on

Fixed price agreed before anything is shot. If you already have a producer or a script, I will slot in on the parts you need.

01

Brand & product film

Explainers, demos and launch films. Written from your brief, shot on a controlled set, cut so the product carries the story rather than a voiceover explaining it.

4K master · social cutdowns · captions

02

Founder & case-study interviews

Interview set-ups with lower-third graphics, cut against b-roll shot the same day. The format that makes a charity or a B2B business look like it is worth taking seriously.

Long cut · 60s social · stills

03

Event & documentary

Launches, campaign days, openings and conferences covered observationally. No staging, no lining people up.

Highlight film · vertical clips · stills

04

Photography

Stills on their own, or shot alongside the film so the campaign and the film share one look instead of two.

Edited selects · web and print sizes

05

Edit & grade

You shot it, I finish it. Edit, colour, titles and delivery masters built from your rushes in DaVinci Resolve.

Graded master · project file on request

06

Content runs

A batch of films shot across one or two days, so a quarter of content costs one production day instead of six.

Multiple films · one shoot

Selected work

Recent

Frames from delivered films. Roles listed honestly, project by project.

The Milky Way over a dark landscape

Plate 01 Night sequence 1920 × 1080 · 24fps

Night work

A stills-to-motion night sequence built frame by frame — the Milky Way tracked across a ridge, a lake holding the last of the light, treeline silhouettes. Long exposures assembled into movement, then graded in Resolve.

Plate 02 LG — product film series 3840 × 2160 · 25fps

LG

Nine product films across television, laundry and refrigeration, made in-house for LG's paid media team. I wrote the content briefs and directed; a production agency shot and finished them. The briefs are why the macro inserts carry the feature — the drum, the dispenser, the hand on the glass — instead of a voiceover explaining it.

Plate 03 ACAA — centre launch 1920 × 1080 · 24fps

Afghanistan & Central Asian Association

Launch and campaign films for the ACAA centre in Hounslow. The founder to camera, students speaking in their own words, and the building doing what it was built to do — cut to one-minute social versions and a longer launch film.

Plate 05 Portraits

Portraits

Available light, mostly. A neon tunnel doing its own lighting, a studio wall, a hospital window at the right hour. Graded to hold colour without losing skin.

Plate 06 After dark

After dark

Interiors and night skies. Long exposures where the light needed finding rather than adding.

Plate 07 Landscape

Landscape

Weather, mostly. Shot when the light was worth stopping the car for.

Process

How it runs

01

Brief. A call to agree the message, the audience and where the film gets posted. You get a written content brief and a fixed price back.

02

Shoot. One production day covers several films where the set-up allows. Camera, lighting and audio come with me.

03

Edit. First cut for review, two rounds of notes included, then colour and sound.

04

Deliver. Master plus the social ratios you need, captioned if you want them captioned.
