Who I Am
Hi! My Name is George Skinner
Bringing authenticity to every project, tackling challenges with integrity, and constantly striving for growth — both personally and professionally — are core values that drive my work. Creativity fuels every aspect of what I do, always pushing for fresh, innovative ways to bring ideas to life.
Satisfaction comes only when your vision is fully realised on screen. Whether it’s crafting compelling video content, designing branded materials, creating memorable experiences, or shaping a strong online presence, every detail is carefully considered to reflect your goals and vision.
My Values
Openness - A direct and open communication between me and clients from the beginning is paramount in order for us to work together on a project.
​​
Integrity - Making responsible decisions based on professional standards.​
​
Growth - Never staying the same, by developing professionally through expanding capabilities with innovative methods and techniques.​
​
Innovative - Dare to be Different, Stand Out.​
Vision and Process
In any creative endeavour, careful planning and thoughtful preparation lay the foundation for success. While drawing inspiration from existing ideas is not only valuable but often essential, the true artistry lies in blending those influences with a unique personal touch. It’s about weaving together diverse experiences and perspectives to craft something original — something that stands apart.
​
But creativity doesn’t thrive on ideas alone. Setbacks are inevitable, yet they offer crucial opportunities for growth. Every challenge is a chance to refine, adapt, and ultimately achieve better results than if obstacles were simply ignored. Just as important is maintaining open communication with clients, ensuring their vision translates seamlessly from concept to reality.
​
To create lasting impact, a project needs a distinct identity — one that resonates, sparks curiosity, and leaves audiences wanting more. When strategic planning, creative reinvention, resilience, and client collaboration come together, they don’t just drive a project forward — they shape a process that inspires others to embrace their own creative journey.

What I've Done
​With over 10 years of experience in video production, coordinating and leading small to mid-scale production teams has been a key focus. Collaborations with high-profile sports figures have resulted in compelling content for their multi-million-pound brands, while partnerships with industry leaders have brought important global and sports-related topics to the forefront.
​
The creation of Onside, a online sports debate programme, brought the opportunity to direct a mid-scale production team while also handling production and editing. Virtual Production played a pivotal role, allowing for seamless integration of dynamic graphics and real-time tracking onto screens, enhancing the overall viewer experience. The programme featured BBC TV Presenter and Actor Marcus Ramtohul as host, with Former Olympic WTA Tennis Coach Nino Severino as a panellist.
​
Amazed by the potential and capabilities of Virtual Production, Severino later requested my services in making a Virtual Production Interview for his 'Sports Skills 4 Business' Education Programme. This project involved overseeing the entire production and post-production process, ensuring a polished and engaging final product that aligned with the program’s objectives.
​
Blending creative storytelling, innovative production techniques, and strategic collaboration, the goal remains to push the boundaries of sports media and digital content creation while delivering high-quality, impactful work.
As part of my award-nominated sports docu-series, Advantage, Coronavirus, an in-depth exploration of how the Coronavirus Pandemic impacted various sports, an interview was conducted with Former Olympic WTA Tennis Coach Nino Severino for the series' concluding episodes, where tennis took centre stage.
​
Throughout the docu-series, several influential figures in the sport were also interviewed, including Former Strategist Coach to Novak Djokovic, Craig O’Shannessy, and Tennis TV Commentator, Nick Lester. Their insights provided a compelling perspective on how the pandemic affected players, tournaments, and the sport’s future.
​
One of my proudest moments came during the filming of Advantage, Coronavirus – Second Serve and Advantage, Coronavirus – Breaking Point. In an exclusive interview with Nick Lester, one of the most prominent voices in Tennis TV commentary, breaking news unfolded at the same time of our interview—Novak Djokovic’s deportation from Australia over his vaccination status. This interview captured the raw, immediate reaction of a key figure in the sport as one of the most controversial headlines in tennis history developed live.
​
Additionally, Craig O’Shannessy was interviewed via Zoom from Melbourne, Australia—the most locked-down city in the world at the time. As a passionate Australian and on site at the Australian Open, he provided a unique perspective, defending COVID-19 restrictions and vaccinations, while offering rare insight into Djokovic’s mindset—something few have had access to.
​
By combining exclusive access, real-time journalism, and in-depth storytelling, this docu-series stands as a testament to the power of sports media and documentary filmmaking, capturing pivotal moments in history as they unfold.
Alongside Editing, Website Design has always intrigued me. Years of experience with Wix have led to an in-depth understanding of its features, tools, SEO capabilities, and workflow, allowing for the creation of high-performing, visually compelling websites.
​
By leveraging expertise in web design and digital strategy, custom-built websites have been developed for clients to establish their online presence and connect with their audience. These websites effectively showcase their brand identity, provide dedicated service pages, highlight portfolios and past work, and generate valuable leads directly from their platforms.

​
With SEO training, multiple websites have been optimized to rank #1 for key search terms, securing top positions on Google’s first page, even in secondary locations. Strategies implemented include:
-
Optimised title tags and meta descriptions
-
Strategic use of keywords and key phrases in website copy
-
Enhanced alt text for images to boost accessibility and search rankings
​
To further solidify search engine visibility and maintain top rankings, custom social media content has also been produced for clients. This includes website promo videos and service-based posts, complete with backlinks that drive consistent traffic back to the website.
​
By combining web design, SEO strategy, and content marketing, these websites don’t just exist—they attract, engage, and convert
The integration of Visual Effects (VFX) and Graphics has always been a core belief, not just for their ability to enhance visual storytelling, but because audiences connect more deeply with ideas when they see them, rather than just hear about them. These elements not only increase production value but also strengthen brand identity and unlock limitless creative potential.
​
By developing expertise across video editing, web design, VFX, graphics, promotional content, and social media, diverse skill sets have been combined to elevate projects across multiple disciplines. This cross-industry knowledge enables seamless integration of different elements, ensuring efficiency, cohesion, and a high standard of production.
​
A desire to be different and innovative requires constant exploration of new and evolving trends. Whether it's Virtual Production or adopting the latest editing or graphic design techniques, the aim is to ensures that content isn’t just created—it’s crafted to deliver the message in the most effective way, rather than simply following personal preference.
​
By blending cutting-edge technology, creative expertise, and strategic storytelling, productions are designed to captivate audiences, strengthen branding, and leave a lasting impact.
