Clients
The problems I solve for…
...agencies
I slot into your existing production workflow as the specialist director and DOP — handling camera, direction, and craft so your team can focus on the wider brief, the client relationship, and the bigger picture.
Andy is a highly recommended DP, videographer, editor and all round great pro. He understands a brief very well, asks all the right questions, then adds a lot of his own creative sprinkles on top!
Michael Whitty — Head of Commissioned Content, Guinness World Records
...brands, charities & NGOs
I work directly with comms teams who need storytelling that drives action without being heavy-handed, jargon-led, or graphic — work commissioned by the World Health Organization, Humane World for Animals, and Compassion in World Farming.
Andrew has his ear to the ground of what's new, what's working and they're always keen to experiment with new approaches. My colleagues and I would highly recommend Andrew.

Frequently asked questions
Is Andrew Davies Film the same as Campaign Film?
They're connected. Andrew Davies Film is where I work directly as a director and DOP. Campaign Film Ltd is my production company, used for larger-scale or brand-sensitive projects that need additional crew, equipment, or production management.
Do you work directly with agencies, or only with end clients?
Both. I regularly work as the specialist director/DOP within an agency's existing production process, and I work directly with brand, charity, and NGO comms teams.
What sectors do you specialise in?
Corporate communications, NGO and charity film, automotive, talking heads, and social content — clients include McDonald's, GSK, Vauxhall, the World Health Organization, Humane World for Animals, and Compassion in World Farming.
Can you handle sensitive or difficult subject matter?
Yes — see the Humane World for Animals work above, where a difficult subject was communicated through suggestion rather than graphic content, making it shareable rather than off-putting.
