Who we are

Static Airwaves is a UK-based production company specialising in camera operating, video, and podcast/audio production.

We collaborate with filmmakers, studios, agencies, and brands to deliver reliable, high-quality work in professional environments. Our work spans branded content, corporate communications, and high-end film or gaming projects, supporting productions from early planning through to delivery.

Established in 2012, the business has grown from a single laptop in a spare room to working on projects at some of the world’s best-known film and music studios.

Based within easy reach of Oxford, Bristol, and West London, we work throughout the UK.

Static Airwaves Ltd began as a company in 2012. Though our family history with cameras stretches further back in time!

Here are some of our highlights from the past:

heritage

Matt’s Great Uncle Ray Hider on the cover of the Radio Times Midland Edition for the 21st Anniversary of the BBC. Uncle Ray worked on shows like Dr Who and Blackadder II. (see the resemblance in the eyes!)

A promotional poster for the film "One Evening in June" featuring two women, Cella Imrie and Elle Turner, against a green and brown textured background. The poster includes text indicating it was an official selection at the 2018 Isle of Man Film Festival.

A highlight of the past was a very early short film project working with Celia Imrie.

The early years required some juggling with a baby.

The covid years proved interesting…

A stressful time for everyone, we had all our work cancelled for the year within a week and the main camera had been damaged

We adapted into live streaming. Won new work and pushed forward!
