Foundation Collective

People

The crew behind the crew.

Builders, from the inside. A small team that has earned the right to be in the rooms our clients are in. Based in Aberdeen, on shoots wherever the work is.

Before FC, an operator. Aker Solutions, then Head of Commercial at Aker Offshore Wind. Now goes back into the same rooms with cameras, strategists and a method.

Insists on stopping the scroll in three seconds. Will rewrite a safe corporate opener at 11pm. Sound design matters.

Owns delivery on FC's own brand. Strong eye, strong opinions, strong cuts.

Calum McCready, Cinematographer

Calum McCready

Cinematographer

The reason one shoot day becomes twelve months of content. Shoots like an engineer, frames like an editor.

Judith Taylor, Head of Client Experience

Judith Taylor

Head of Client Experience

The reason the wheels stay on. Holds member relationships, deliverables and shoot logistics while everyone else thinks about cameras.

Extended crew

Specialists we bring in by name.

James Paylor

Design Lead

Brand systems, identity, and the typography decisions you only notice when they are wrong.

Andy Hawkes

Head of Digital

Web, distribution, the engine room. The reason content turns into reach.

Culture

Small enough to know each other. Skilled enough to work like a much bigger team.

Membership is capped, and so is the team. We would rather get better than bigger.

Editor, strategist, cinematographer or producer with real sector experience and an opinion about energy storytelling? We are not actively hiring, but we always read a portfolio.
