When it comes to capturing moments that matter, having a skilled videographer by your side can make all the difference. I’m Skylar Shankman, a New England-based videographer passionate about telling stories through the lens. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft to deliver compelling visual narratives that help businesses and individuals across New England showcase their unique stories with clarity and creativity.


Whether you need promotional videos, event coverage, or corporate marketing content, I bring a professional yet friendly approach to every project. Let me take you through what makes my work stand out and how I can help you achieve your marketing goals with high-quality video content.


Why Choose a Local Videographer Like Me?


Choosing a local videographer has many advantages, especially when your project is rooted in New England. Being based in New England means I understand the local culture, landmarks, and business environment. This insight allows me to create videos that resonate with your target audience and reflect the authentic spirit of the region.


Here’s what you can expect when working with me:


  • Personalized Service: I take time to understand your vision and goals, and walk you through the steps it will take to go from idea to finished product.

  • Quick Turnaround: Being local means I can be on-site quickly and deliver your project on time, and I am always available to discuss next steps as we go through the production process.

  • Creative Expertise: Over a decade of experience in various videography styles, across many industries, working with clients to make sure their individual creative visions are expressed the way they want them.

  • Laid Back Filming Approach: My filming style is designed to be unobtrusive and relaxed, allowing for a natural flow in your environment. As a one man production company, I prioritize maintaining the authenticity of the moment without disrupting ongoing activities, and strive for efficiency and comfort with my clients.

How I Craft Visual Stories That Engage and Inspire


Storytelling is at the heart of every successful video. My approach is to blend creativity with strategy, ensuring your message is clear and memorable. Here’s how I do it:


  1. Understanding Your Story: Before filming, I collaborate with you to understand your vision and gather insights on what you want to convey. This ensures that I capture the core message with precision.

  2. Planning the Shoot: We will go over all the details of our shoot, such as scheduling, location scouting, tips for interviews, and any other questions you may have or I may have so everything can run smoothly.

  3. Capturing Authentic Moments: Whether it’s a corporate event or a promotional shoot, I focus on genuine interactions and emotions.

  4. Editing with Precision: Post-production is where the story truly comes alive. I use color grading, sound design, and smooth transitions to enhance the narrative and I am in constant contact with you throughout the editing and revision process so you can take part in shaping the story as it is created.
