Calm, organised and people-focused.

I’m Jack Howard, the person behind Crown Videos.

I started out as a camera trainee to cinematographer Alan Almond on BBC and ITV dramas including Silent Witness and Poirot, then went freelance in 2012 in the hectic world of music events, clubs and festivals. Today I make films for brands, agencies, events and private clients — across the UK and internationally.

For larger projects I bring in a trusted crew of camera operators, editors, sound recordists and assistants. For most, you deal directly with me.

What I’m good at

Where clients say the difference shows.

Putting people at ease

Founders, staff and guests rarely love being filmed. I keep the set calm and unhurried, so the moments that make it to screen feel real rather than rehearsed.

Calm under pressure

Live events, tight run-of-show, changing light — years of broadcast and event work mean I stay organised and adapt quickly without dropping the quality.

A cinematic finish

Considered framing, clean lighting and a careful edit and grade. The look is always polished, whatever the budget or format.

Interviews & storytelling

Drawing out honest, articulate answers and shaping them into a story that lands — for case studies, brand films and documentary work.

Working anywhere

Comfortable travelling and filming in demanding environments — from corporate HQs and working laboratories to festival fields and international sporting events.
