One of the best parts of this industry is collaboration.

I really enjoy working with other creatives and creative companies, combining skills, ideas, and energy to help bring a project together properly.

This blog is a look back at a night shoot with OAT Productions (oatproductions.co.uk), covering Humberside Police’s Night Walk Challenge.

If you’re looking for an extra pair of hands on a shoot or want to collaborate on a project, get in touch.

I recently collaborated with OAT Productions (Omar and Tarik) on the Humberside Police Nightwalk Challenge 2025, capturing B-Roll, behind the scenes moments, and drone footage across a full overnight shoot. With changing conditions, low light filming, and an unexpected permissions shift, the night b...

I used DJI Air 3 Footage from shoots across climbing, logistics, night city work, agriculture and waterways to build this reel. The clips are edited into an ...

Seaton stage, East Riding Stages Rally 2026.

Caught this Toyota Starlet leaning into the corner on the tarmac, proper rally pace with no room for mistakes. I love shooting events like this because it's all about timing, movement, and atmosphere in one frame.

If you are organising an event, sponsoring a car, or want motorsport coverage that looks and feels fast, send me a message.

We’ve just published a Year in Review for Instinctive Media, and it’s the most honest thing we’ve shared about the first year.

We went into the year expecting a slow build and a lot of silence after outreach. Instead, things gathered momentum quickly, which brought some huge highs and a few proper pressure tests around capacity and delivery as a founder-led setup.

In the post, we share the moment work started stacking up, what we learned about workflow, and why we’re building a stronger delivery and collaboration system for 2026 so projects stay consistent and the standard stays high. We also share where we want to take things next, including more outdoor shoots and documentary style work.

If you’re building something, hiring creatives, or you’re curious what the first year really looks like behind the scenes, you’ll probably relate to this.

Nine months into 2025 and the biggest shifts in video marketing are already clear.

Short-form video now drives around 90% of online traffic and continues to deliver the best ROI. Platforms are rewarding vertical-first formats, authentic storytelling, captions for silent viewing and hooks that grab attention in the first few seconds.

AI is also reshaping production. From editing software to generative tools, 86% of advertisers are already using or planning to use AI in video ads. Even YouTube Shorts is rolling out features that can turn static photos into ready-to-publish clips. Despite this growth, audiences still value the creativity and authenticity that only people bring to content.

We’ve broken down the key insights in our latest blog: https://www.instinctive33.com/post/video-marketing-trends-2025

At Instinctive Media we help brands across the UK put these trends into action with professional video production, photography and drone services.

Discover the top video marketing trends for 2025 - short-form, AI, and interactive videos. Stay ahead and grow your brand today.

UK Drone Regulation Changes - Coming in the next 12 months

From 1 January 2026, all new Open-Category drones placed on the UK market will carry UK0–UK6 class markings, replacing the old EU C-classes.

At the same time, drones in classes UK1, UK2, UK3, UK5 and UK6 must broadcast Remote ID in flight for enhanced safety and accountability.

Plus, look out for:
•100 g Weight Threshold – Remote pilots of drones weighing 100–249 g must obtain a Flyer ID; those same drones fitted with cameras also require Operator ID registration.
• Geo-Awareness (Soft Geofencing) – UK1–UK3 drones embed digital maps of restricted zones.
• Night-Flight Lighting – Active flashing anti-collision lights become compulsory.

Which of these changes will have the biggest impact on your operations? Let’s discuss below.
