Alex Perkins

I have been with Vistry Group since I was 17, fresh out of college, since then there has been two large scale company mergers and I have learnt a lot including teaching myself videography from scratch.

My role is to help communication from top to bottom within the company, I have always been the sole content creator for the group. I work closely with the executive board regularly filming company updates, and capturing them out around the business, the content I create is used widely, from magazines to online to newspapers, even the governments twitter account during covid.

Content I produce:

• Company Video Updates from CEO, COO, CFO and other senior directors using auto cue.
• Corporate Headshots for Executive Board as well as general office staff.
• Visits to our construction developments capturing candid shots where the imagery is then used for websites, newspapers etc.
• Exteriors of new developments including street scenes
• Drone photography and video
• Health and Safety Videos
• Corporate presentation events
• Black Tie evening dinner events

Skills:

• Knowledge of professional level kit - I have been a canon shooter since I got my first one 10 years ago and I've had multiple cameras since then, I use my Canon 1DX's as hybrids for both Photography & Videography enabling me to deliver professional results in both fields.
• Autocue work - Corporate messaging videos are usually shot with the autocue we as a business use.
• Lighting - All videos require lighting set ups whether that's in a modern well lit office or out on a construction development in the rain.
• Video Editing - As the sole content creator I am required to shoot and edit everything I create. I use adobe premiere pro, but I have also used Final Cut Pro in the past.
• Photography - I have been in the industry since 2016, over that time I have shot millions of photographs of just about anything, I use Lightroom and Photoshop daily to deliver the highest possible results.
