Makinov Video

Makinov began as an alias for then Graphic Designer Jonny Clooney back in 2005. At that time as part of an art collective, Jonny would produce videos following the events of the groups art exhibitions that took place around the UK. During this time video became a far more consuming obsession than graphic design had previously proven to be. It was in 2008 and a move to Bristol that saw a switch from graphic design to video full time. Working with companies including Aardman Animations and the BBC in their Natural History Department was an excellent enviroment to learn more about the craft and the industry. Since then Jonny has gone on to work on projects for Samsung, Canon, Mazda, Aptimil, Cineworld, British Chambers of Commerce, The Grand Appeal, Bristol Children’s Hospital and more. Makinov Video now has a network of collaborators including social media managers, photographers, illustrators, animators and more meaning the right team can be brought together for any project. Covering anything from promotional videos and educational films to music videos and features, often incorporating a mix of motion graphics and animation, we’re able to take on a wide range of varied projects. We pride ourselves on our Agency service at a Freelance budget. I've worked with companies including the BBC, Aardman Animation, Invada Records, Samsung, and more giving me the opportunity to work on a wide and varied range of projects over the years. I have a passion for film and video and feel extremely fortunate to get the chance to do something I love everyday. One of the biggest benefits is the opportunity to meet new people and work with them on new and different projects from one week to the next. I love video production and capturing the moments and atmosphere. I love the process of shaping those moments cinematically and sharing them with the audience.
