YouTube Videographer in Nottingham

Profile Picture of Nathan Duffy

Hi, I'm Nathan Duffy, a videographer working in YouTube based in Nottingham, UK.

Hopefully this page can give you insight into my skills & experience, and help you decide if I'm the right person to help you take your project forward.

A YouTube video consists of 3 parts. Planning, Filming, and Editing. It's the combination of these 3 parts that make a video, and having someone who understands each step of the process makes working, especially in a team, so much easier. If at any point you would like to get in contact, you can find my email at the bottom of this page (and every other on this website).

Planning

Planning is an incredibly important and sometimes overlooked part of the process. It involves coming up with the concept for the video and maybe even scripting and shot-listing those ideas into reality.
Take for example my YouTube channel 'Resolve Tutorials'. On this channel every video has the idea made, then an outline written. After this I will write a script, keeping in mind the video title and thumbnail ideas I'm also working on, to link up with the intro. Finally, I'll shot-list everything I need to film/screen-record to help the script be visually explained.
Having scripted 30 different long-form videos and many other short-form and short-film projects, if this is something you think I could help you with, drop me an email.

Filming

Filming is the next part of the process, whether this is filming myself talking to the camera, a screen recording, or something else like the Golf YouTube channel I work for. Sometimes this is heavily scripted, like for my own channel 'Resolve Tutorials', and other times it is much more free-flowing with overarching structures and jokes to include, like with the channel 'Professional Golf Advisor'.
Ultimately the video relies on what you produce here, so getting the planning right (it doesn't always have to be scripting; it could be test shoots) is crucial. I've worked on over 40 different long-form videos for YouTube, with experience in all different filming styles, so if this is something I can help with, drop me an email.

Editing

The final part of the process is editing. This is almost always the most time-consuming part of making the video and can bring everything together in spectacular ways if done correctly. I edit in DaVinci Resolve and have been doing so for about 5 years now. Whether it is motion graphics, first drafts taking 5 hours of footage down into 2 hours edited, or the whole thing from start to finish, I have experience with it all.
I've edited over 30 long-form YouTube videos independently and many more as part of wider teams, so if this is something you think I could help with, drop me an email.
