About Wilkinson Visual
Mike Wilkinson is a filmmaker and photographer in Lexington, Kentucky, the wizard behind the curtain at Wilkinson Visual.
Hey there, I’m Mike, thanks for checking out our site. For more than 15 years, I’ve been producing and directing video production projects. My passion is creating documentary-style films related to outdoor adventure, travel, and conservation, but it can’t be all red bulls and high-fives, so I do some corporate and training videos as well.
Apart from my video experience, photography has been a natural addition to my services over the last decade. I’m an avid adventure photographer, and I’ve had my photos published in a number of magazines and also featured by several outdoor brands.
I’m available for hire as a contract camera operator, producer, or photographer. And if your project is a bigger one, my business Wilkinson Visual can bring on a team of creatives who can handle everything from script writing to audio to dressing up like a stormtrooper for star wars themed birthday parties.
Contact me today for a quote on your project, I look forward to chatting with you!
A few notable projects include:
Filming interviews and landscape footage on a summit hike of Mt. Kilimanjaro
Touring film festivals with “Gone Tomorrow,” a documentary film about ice climbing in Kentucky
Producing a documentary about rock climbing development in India
Creating a series of tourism and event videos in Southwest Colorado
Wilkinson Visual Team & Collaborators
The larger projects Wilkinson Visual has worked on would not be what they are without the help of some amazingly talented artists, athletes, writers, and friends. Below are just a few of the regular crew and collaborators that pull together frequently for projects.
Eleanor Shelton
Producer, writer, and can makes things happen. If this were Pulp Fiction, having her work for you is like sending in the Wolf. That's all you had to say. Her track record for writing award winning productions and forging dynamite client relations make her a valuable asset to any project.
Training and Consultation
Local to Lexington, Kentucky (but really anywhere in the US or Canada!) Mike Wilkinson is available for software training, professional consultation on video or photography projects, and can even provide 1 on 1 tutoring for clients in their home or office.
From Mike:
I taught at the Specs Howard School of Media Arts for about 4 years and have lectured at several workshops around the United States. If you think you or your company would be interested in some private training or customized professional development, send me an email with information on what specific instruction you're looking for. I've also had hundreds of articles published on fstoppers.com, resourcemagonline, and even had some printed pieces over the years. Together with partner Joshua Pardon, we made an e-book that’s all about interview video production.
Here are few examples of instructional content I've created in the past:
