I’m Duane, a filmmaker and photographer based in Wrexham, North Wales.

​

For the last eight years I’ve been making marketing videos and photos that aren’t just “nice to look at”,  they’re built to sell.

​

I don’t have a fancy film school background or a stack of certificates. I picked up a camera because I loved it, taught myself how to shoot, taught myself how to edit, and just kept going until it turned into a career.

​

That work led me to a job with Ellusionist.com, an American magic company with a huge global audience. I was thrown in at the deep end, making trailers, product videos and launch films constantly. I worked alongside two seriously good marketing minds who shaped how I think about video, not just “does it look cool?”, but does it make people want to buy?

​

Over the years I’ve shot and edited hundreds of product videos that have helped generate millions of dollars in revenue. I’ve filmed in New York, Las Vegas, Germany, Nepal and everywhere in between.. shooting trailers everywhere from hotel rooftops to deserts to the streets of Kathmandu.

​

Now I’ve brought all of that experience back home.

I’m a dad of two, and starting Red Frame Studios was partly about working closer to home so I can actually see my kids grow up, and partly about using what I’ve learned to help businesses here in Wrexham, North Wales and across the UK.

​

What I do now is simple: I take everything I’ve learned about launches, promos and selling on screen and apply it to local and UK businesses who want to look serious online and stand out with their marketing.

​

To me, this isn’t a side hustle or a quick way to make some money. This has been my thing for years. I care about how your brand looks, how it feels on screen, and whether the final piece actually does a job for your business.

​

If you want someone who’ll just turn up, press record and send you whatever comes out, I’m not that guy.

If you want someone who thinks about the story, the shots, the pacing and the edit so your business actually comes across the way it should, that’s what I’m here for.
