Who is Hammerhead?

A dynamic duo putting stories at the forefront of content.

Ben

Ben Tailby

Co-founder

A Videographer, Editor, Graphic Designer, Vision Mixer and VMIX Operator.. a small taste of my background and capabilities.

I have 7+ years of experience working with and for a large selection of companies and brands that has taken me all over the United Kingdom and Overseas to the likes of UAE, Amsterdam & The Falkland Islands.

In my years of working in this industry I have had the pleasure of working within sport, mainly helping the running of a Matchday at Southampton Football Club as a Big Screen Director. But along the way I have also many small adventures such as hanging out the back of moving vehicles (safely of course), crawling through caves in Wales, shooting podcasts and interviews in Dubai, filming bands and artists at festivals and much more.

I have crewed on projects that helped to win awards with the Royal Air Force, ranging from some very fun and down to earth projects with the RAF Sporting teams to some very hard hitting stories

Who am I outside of all this? Glad you asked. I am a huge sports lover. Being a massive football fan and being able to work within football has been one of my ambitions! I am also an F1 fan, Wrestling fan, Darts fan and the occasional NBA match. I am also a huge movie lover so that is my go to when I need to relax.

I have experience in a few different systems and software's such as Sony Cameras, Black Magic Cameras and ATEMs, RED, Adobe Software and VMIX. But always looking to grow and adapt.

Tyler Hamblin

Co-founder

A Creative Director, videographer, editor, award winning podcast curator… if it involves creativity, that’s what I do!

I’ve got 12 years of experience creating content for over 80 brands and individuals all across the globe. I’ve worked out of the UK and the UAE over the past few years too.

From Serbia to the Falklands, Dubai to Amsterdam, and all over the UK and UAE, I’ve had the pleasure of helping so many brands create content. I've had the pleasure of creating content in the most surreal of environments; from being suspended over a rainy Bavarian cliff-face, to being 2 feet away from a 1000 horsepower rallycross car blasting through the rough dirt bends of Lydden Hill.

My work has picked up national recognition in the UK too, for example, my work with the Royal Air Force lead to the team being awarded multiple Recruitment Marketing Awards and Digital Impact Awards.

Beyond work? I’m a huge automotive fanatic, I love to tinker with cars, and I’ve discovered a new love for off roading. Not the easiest hobbies to have, but so rewarding.

Over the course of my career, I’ve gained a huge amount of technical experience, and can adapt to any technical system required, but I’ve specialised in RED, Blackmagic, Canon and Panasonic in recent years.

20+

years of combined experience

Ben and Tyler have produced work for some of the world's largest brands and for local organisations alike.

UK, UAE, Falklands, Amsterdam, Serbia, Bavaria and beyond
