We’ve curated a few video examples to give you a flavour of our work. All videos have been produced in house with our owned equipment, reducing the cost of rentals and hiring. With over 8 years of industry experience, we have a lot to show.
If you need to see more examples or are curious about different styles or equipment use, please feel free to contact us at Hello@stoatmedia.co.uk and we’ll be happy to have a chat about your needs.
We filmed this video as a social media promotional video to be used in conjunction with an online campaign. The filming took place on a job site and required quick and dynamic shooting as we worked around the active work going ahead.
Of note, we were able to have great fun with the foley sound on the edit of this video. As the environment of the site was too loud and busy, we opted to build the soundscape fully in post-production to add a polished feel to the video.

We produced this snippet case study as part of an online interest post surrounding the working lives of Ecologists.
This particular video was a spur-of-the-moment addition, as we had the opportunity to quickly catch one of the companies’ ecologists as they finished a nearby job. The total time filming was 25 minutes. In this time we were able to gather the cutaways required and lead them in an interview to get the content our client needed.
Following the speed standard we set on this shoot, the edit was completed and delivered within an hour and a half of capturing the visuals.
This video is used as both an online promotional video and as an in-house video displayed on TV screens positioned around the restaurant.
We love filming food and have a long relationship with this all-you-can-eat chain, creating content for all three of their venues. In this video they wanted to showcase their variety of food and help set the mood of the venue.
We spent time carefully selecting and filming specific shots and working with the staff to dress counters. Something to note was the use of our Mavic Mini 2 drone inside the venue to get smooth gliding shots.

This project was part of a larger presentation that was presented to industry experts at a live seminar.
The video was filmed over the course of 3 weeks at 6 different locations that were provided by the client. We faced the issue of many of the subjects of the film not being fully prepped by the client before our arrival, as the brief was changed twice during the project. As a result, the interviewees required a lot of leading through their interviews. We were able to collect a variety of B roll that was used to clear up the audio and visual cuts in the edit.
This advertisement was used at point of sale, both instore and on the client’s website. This video was part of a four-part series of advertisements demoing differing demographics using the product. Each of the 4 story lines had both a full cut and social media short cut version.
This was one of our larger projects, requiring us to hire 11 actors for the series and shoot at 8 venues that we sourced working within a tight budget.

This promotional video gave us a great opportunity to crack out a variety of different equipment to combine shots to capture the feel, scale and beauty of this hotel and grounds. We used drones to show off the scale of the woodlands and scenes around the hotel and mixed it in with ground-based gimbal and handheld shots. The versatility of being able to switch from drone to gimbal came in especially handy around the horses and wildlife who would otherwise be spooked by the drone.
We had great fun creating this video that was used as part of a sales pitch during a corporate seminar. Other than a few key points to hit, we were given almost free rein while filming and took advantage of that fact. Using the opportunity to try our hand at a variety of techniques and styles, you may even spot our Edgar Wright inspired transition at the start.
Of note, we created bespoke map transitions between locations showing detail that the local target audience recognised.

The brief for this video was to show scale and variety. The video was to be used to accompany social media posts announcing the opening of their “pick your own” season.
We primarily shot using a Mavic Mini 2 drone with ground shots on a gimbal. One restriction with drone filming is the lack of audio, so all sound on the video was added in post to create a calm and scenic environment. We had particular fun creating the sound of a strawberry being picked, using a cucumber rolled up in a paper sheet.
This testimonial video was used as part of a corporate gift exchange. Our client offered this testimonial filming to their own client as a thank you for Eldnar giving our client a testimonial.
The shoot took place on two sites, one interview being in the office building and the second being onsite.
Filming using just one operator allowed us to keep a low profile and minimise any disruption to both an active work site and the client’s office workspace.

This video was used as part of the social media launch for a fitness instructor. Multiple cuts of the video were created with differing aspect ratios to suit Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
This video provided us with the opportunity to have a practice with a variety of practical camera transitions, which required thought and planning to create a fast paced yet visually fluid end product. The entirety of the video was filmed on a handheld camera.
As part of a larger presentation, we created this client testimonial specifically to aid with a sales pitch. This required coaching the interviewee to ensure we were able to collect specific usable soundbites.
The B roll was filmed as a split between handheld gimbal and drone filming indoors. Using a Mavic Mini II, we were able to capture the flight orbits of the interior of the store safely and quickly.

This advertisement was filmed entirely in front of our self-lit backdrop, allowing us to transform a small office room at the client’s warehouse into a studio. This allowed us to achieve the same effect of using an infinity cove but at a fraction of the cost of hiring a studio.
Small sections of animated products were incorporated into the video, which were created by taking individual photos of the products and creating the sequences with these elements in post.
