About VideoHQ
Capturing stories through authentic conversations
I’m Hannah, the videographer behind VideoHQ. I travel across the UK for filming projects, and hunker down in my office in Longton (Stoke-on-Trent) for the pre-production and post-production work.
I was a BBC journalist and producer for over five years (more on that below), which gives me the perfect skillset to bring to projects involving video interviews.
I mostly work directly with Communications and Marketing teams as a specialist videographer to complement their existing skills, to help them implement high-quality, audience-focussed videos into their strategies.
But I also regularly work with business owners directly, and use my expertise to develop and produce the video content which will be most effective for their company.
our team and customers, she’s the only videographer I’m ever going to work with.
She has the ability to put people so at ease, and that comes over in the video.

My journalism expertise
After completing my journalism degree at the University of Winchester, I cut my teeth initially as a freelance reporter at BBC Radio Stoke.
The variety of that job was crazy. One minute I was interviewing a long-serving community police officer about his retirement, the next I was being sent off to a police cordon for a domestic abuse incident… this is a real example!
I moved to BBC Radio Shropshire in 2018, and into my first production role: the Sunday Breakfast show producer.
And to give you some of the highlights of my five years there:
- I was the main producer of an overnight by-election show
- I was responsible for the first breakfast show on air after the passing of Prince Philip
- And a more fun one: going to a farm vets to do a story about equine obesity. Loved those fat horses*
How does all this help you?
Quite simply, I can natter to anyone. I regularly had to walk up to people in Hanley city centre with a mic in hand and ask them about Brexit. Any conversation after that feels pretty straightforward!
As a producer, I’d call up people who’d texted in contributions to the show in order to sound them out, and reassure them about coming on air to share their point of view.
Whoever I need to interview as part of a video job, I can put them at ease about the process, and help them to authentically share their story on camera.
*Unfortunately, this is also where my manager pulled me up for saying on the report that horses eat straw, not hay. Still get made fun of for that one.
