Simon Banks is passionate about planning, shooting and producing stand-out videos that really work for companies and individuals.  

With a degree in Communications and Media and inspired since the age of 16 to be a video cameraman, Simon worked and traveled for over 20 years as a news cameraman and DOP for leading broadcasters in his native Australia, the USA, and here in the UK for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and National Geographic.

His relaxed Aussie manner makes Simon a great teacher and he lectures at UAL (University Arts London) on Television Production.  He’s also a sought-after mentor. 

Simon’s gentle giant persona (he’s 6ft 4in) inspired the name of his current award-winning company Tallboy Communications Ltd, founded in 1999. Since then, Tallboy has successfully delivered 1000’s of high-quality videos for a range of corporate, charity and government clients including Morgan Stanley, Novartis, Age UK, Tui and Sony.  

Simon’s experience means his insights into how businesses, corporations and individuals communicate are invaluable when creating video.  He instinctively knows the visual treatment that’s best for each production and the right tone of voice needed to effectively and persuasively deliver the messages.  He’s also skilled in how to maximise the return for each video as a marketing tool across all media channels.
