852 RECORDINGS
852 Recordings was established in 2017, initially producing music videos and performance event coverage. By 2021, the business had transitioned fully into corporate and brand video production, a natural progression built on years of visual storytelling, managing productions under pressure, and understanding what makes video content work for an audience.
James has a handpicked team of specialists who work as one, bringing the skills, experience and attention to detail that every 852 Recordings production demands.
That creative foundation now serves corporate clients directly. The ability to structure a narrative, compose a shot and manage a production efficiently comes from genuine experience across different production environments.
Technical Edge
Every production is shot on professional-grade camera systems matched to the job. High-end commercial and cinematic work is captured on the Black Magic 6K Pro, delivering exceptional image quality and true cinematic colour grading capability. Fast-turnaround corporate and event content is shot on the Sony A7 and FX series, reliable, versatile cameras trusted across the broadcast industry.
Audio is captured with Lavalier microphones and the Zoom H5 field recorder with various microphone pick-ups, ensuring broadcast-quality sound regardless of location or environment. Drone capability is available for aerial and property work.
From planning through to file delivery in DaVinci Resolve, every stage of the production process is handled in-house to a consistent professional standard.
