Ruari Barratt
DIRECTOR . EDITOR . DRONE + CAMERA OPERATOR
With a background in branded content, documentary, social, internal comms, and corporate video, I’m equally happy as editor, director, self-shooting PD or camera op.
I’ve also brought a background in stand-up comedy to a range of comedy shorts and web series.
As the proud owner-operator of a RED V-Raptor X, I combine creativity with high-end technical delivery.
What drives me is storytelling - crafting edits that are sharp, engaging, and alive with great sound and music.
I’d love to show you what I can do!
