Kumo London was commissioned by Beyond Real Productions to provide embedded camera operation for a series of acoustic music video sessions with Ella Henderson, filmed on behalf of Warner Music. The project, led by Tristan Williams and Mourner Music, involved three stripped-back performances—of which we supported two key sessions: Everything I Didn’t Say and Ugly.  Filmed in a controlled daylight studio environment in North London, our role involved collaborating closely with the DOP and creative team to capture subtle, high-fidelity performance coverage. Using a Sony FS7 paired with Cooke primes, our framing prioritised emotional proximity, tonal softness, and editorial fluidity.   Yohan Forbes of Kumo London was embedded as an on-set operator, working within Beyond Real’s 360 production framework to bring additional visual layers to Warner’s acoustic campaign content.

Strategic Insight

This project is a clear example of how Kumo London functions within a broader production ecosystem supporting agencies like Beyond Real through embedded roles, with precision, discretion, and aesthetic alignment.  While not leading the shoot, our presence ensured that every angle, lens move, and position supported the performance’s emotional rhythm and post-production intent. In environments where the visual tone must echo the vocal intimacy, our role was to be intuitive, adaptive, and seamlessly integrated.
