IDEAS MEDIA
Welcome to Sound Ideas Media.
I help organisations tell stories that help people understand, feel, and connect through thoughtful, emotionally engaging video.
Hello from me, Jason Thompson.
I'm a video strategist and digital
creative with over 30 years of
experience producing engaging,
memorable content that uses
video, audio, photography, live
streaming and online elements
since 1995.
I work with organisations, businesses and individuals to create film and photography based projects that tell a positive story about things that need to find an audience.
The projects that particularly interest me are those that involve stories of change, hope and success, and I'm seeking to engage with organisations and individuals who are working in the Community, Charity, Arts, Education, Mental Health, LGBTQ and other advocates for kindness, fairness and equality.
Funding Support available now.

Using a combination of timelapse filming, project documentation, interviews and working in close collaboration with Woodhorn Museum, our film shows the great care and skill it took to assemble an artwork comprising many thousands of ceramic poppies.
