The Bigger Picture

Who are we?

A Creative Team Built On Experience, Collaboration And Shared Standards

Over the years, we’ve worked together on a wide range of training films and creative projects and found our best results come from close collaboration. That’s why we formed The Bigger Picture – a team shaped by shared experience and a clear, consistent way of working.

Meet The Team

WHO ARE WE Section 3 RUSSELL

Russell

Executive Producer

Russell brings a rare blend of corporate insight, business ownership and calm, steady project leadership. He understands what clients need – not just creatively, but commercially – and turns objectives into films that deliver real results.

As Executive Producer, he oversees every project from first conversation to final delivery, keeping everything smooth, organised and on schedule. Off duty, he insists he does his best thinking while surfing with dolphins – though no one has yet confirmed this.

WHO ARE WE Section 3 ROD

Rod

Creative Director

With more than 20 years in corporate training and filmmaking, Rod is the creative engine of the team. He writes, directs and shapes stories that resonate – whether on a windswept construction site or in a boardroom.

His work spans rail, civils, construction and infrastructure, and he’s built trusted relationships from senior leaders to ground operatives. He believes every story deserves honesty, clarity and craft – and that most filming locations would benefit from a nearby snooker table.

WHO ARE WE Section 3 JACQUES

Jacques

Business Development Manager

Jacques connects organisations with film solutions that drive real behavioural change and stronger workplace cultures. Part strategist, part relationship-builder, he has a talent for identifying what clients need, even when they’re not sure.

Focused, collaborative and always up for a challenge, he works closely with clients to shape practical, effective solutions – and can usually be found open-water swimming somewhere far too cold for most people.

WHO ARE WE Section 3 COLIN

Colin

Director Of Photography

Colin captures the moments that matter – the details, expressions and real environments that give training films both emotional and practical impact. With decades of experience across demanding locations, he brings calm expertise and precision to every frame.

Whether working on live sites or complex operational environments, he ensures everything looks authentic, controlled and visually consistent – and is occasionally found climbing things he probably shouldn’t.

WHO ARE WE Section 3 ANDREW

Andrew

Director Of Training

Andrew’s career spans more than four decades leading a successful corporate drama learning company. He brings extensive expertise in behavioural training, learning design and helping organisations turn complex challenges into practical, engaging development experiences.

He specialises in translating complex challenges into clear, engaging learning experiences – and is reliably the best-dressed person in any room, even on site.

WHO WE ARE Section 3ADELE Updated4

Adele

Assistant Producer

Adele keeps productions on track with calm precision, from logistics and scheduling to scripts, call sheets and the many details that keep everything moving smoothly. She plays a key role in ensuring each project is delivered efficiently and seamlessly from start to finish.

With a sharp eye for detail and a talent for turning potential chaos into smooth coordination, she ensures every shoot day feels effortless – and has a reputation for remembering absolutely everything.

Real People. Real Workplaces. Real Impact.

We Believe the Most Effective Training Films Come From Real Environments, Practical Pressures and Genuine Human Behaviour

If you’d like to work with a team that brings both the creative and practical side of training together, we’d love to hear from you.
