About
Hey there! I'm Michael Elliott, aka "Movies Made by Mike".
I like to treat every project & story I take on as if it were a movie - however big or small!
Whether it be your local mom & pop restaurant commercial, your social media promo, your wedding or your short narrative film, it's always important to me that you feel you've gotten the best possible product and also enjoyed the experience along the way.
This is why I always strive for "good vibes" while doing video work, because I love my job!
I've been editing for the last 10 years, with the most recent 3 years being predominantly being videography and cinematography.
I own a variety of DSLR and cinema cameras, with my own lighting package and audio equipment too.

Mike directed and edited a music video for my band, Ernestine Black, and working with him was not only an enjoyable, mutually fulfilling experience, but the finished music video was a valuable asset to have for my band’s marketing and overall portfolio.
Mike is reliable, an active communicator, skilled at his craft, and cares about fulfilling his client’s vision (not just *his* own ideas) and including them in the creative process as much as they want to be.
Included are some stills from the music video.

We hired Mike to create a series of short documentary-style promotional videos for a new play at our theater. He showed up right on time with all of his own equipment. He moved all over the stage to get lots of action shots of the actors rehearsing. He had a great eye for shot composition and for using the lights on the stage to make the action look as dynamic as possible. He then picked various points around the theater to interview each actor.
He came to the shoot prepared with lots of ideas about where and how to light and shoot each actor he was interviewing and what questions to ask. He knew just how to put each person at ease and get lots of great footage. He moved quickly and efficiently from one setup to another, maximizing each second we had with the actors. Then, he cut everything together to create these incredibly cinematic 2 minute promotional videos that were completed right on schedule. I would definitely work with him again. He was a true professional in every sense of the word.

Thank you so much for your kind words Angela, I've really enjoyed our work together on Duress and look forward to future projects together! I do really enjoy the documentary space and would love to work on more of them in the future :)

I did not work directly with Mike on the projects that I have seen, but I have been very impressed with his shot composition, angles, lighting, editing, sound design. Basically, I appreciate his approach to the projects I have seen. Well done. I hope I get to work with him on future projects.

Mike is great at everything he does! From DP work to post-production, and everything in between with BTS, grip, and more. Mike has great work ethic and brings a unique perspective and outgoing personality to set!
