ABOUT BEAR ISLAND VIDEO
Providing high-end videography to businesses in the UK
Bear Island was built on a decade of making video at the highest level and wanting to do it better.
Our mission is simple: to make high-quality video production accessible to businesses who deserve more than what they’ve been getting.
Our experts bring the strategic thinking, the quality and the commercial instincts of a top video agency, without the unnecessary overheads, and the transactional approach that makes working with agencies feel like hard work.
We’re friendly, responsive, and genuinely care about every project we work on and the goals of the clients we work with.
MEET OUR FOUNDER.
Our founder, Simon Fjulsrud, started making the coffees as a Production Assistant at one of London’s leading video production companies and, across a decade, worked his way up to Senior Producer. Leading the team and responsible for the company’s entire production process.
In that time he filmed everywhere – national stadiums, aircraft carriers, top secret military bases, parliament buildings, busy factories, luxury hotels and corporate offices across the world – delivering premium business and brand storytelling for brands such as BP, DELL, Oracle, OCS, Royal Navy, Beretta, VINCI and more.
After 10 years, Simon founded Bear Island Video to fill a gap in the market that he kept running into.
He found many businesses knew they needed effective video content but were always stuck choosing between expensive agencies weighed down by overheads, or cheap freelancers who couldn’t meet the standard they needed to showcase their brands.
That’s where Bear Island Video comes in – offering top agency-level quality and commercial thinking, with a personal and tailored service built around your business goals.
OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL VIDEOGRAPHERS.
Great video requires the right people for the job.
We work with a hand-picked network of trusted, highly experienced videographers, camera
operators and creatives.
Each chosen for their expertise, their professionalism, and their ability to deliver the highest standard on every project.
WHY ARE WE CALLED BEAR ISLAND?
Well it’s not just because it sounds cool, there’s a story there.
Simon’s half-Norwegian and growing up, he spent every summer in Norway visiting his grandparents.
They lived in town, but they also had a small holiday home sat on a tiny island deep in the fjords. A small bungalow surrounded by water, forest and mountains. It’s where his best childhood memories were made.
Days spent exploring the woods, fishing for mackerel, picking wild blueberries, swimming in the sea, and enjoying the kind of simple freedom you only get somewhere special like that.
That island was called ‘Bjørnøya’. Which, as you’ve probably already guessed, translates to ‘Bear Island’.
When it came to naming the business, it felt only right to honour the place where he always felt most free, happy and inspired.
(And if you’re wondering why we didn’t keep the original Norwegian name… let’s just say Google
and our SEO team weren’t fans.)
We’ve had a fantastic experience working with
Bear Island Video.
They completely understood the brief from the outset and
delivered exactly what we were looking for.
