    How Shaun Herbertson went from twelve years freelancing to winning major TV commercials

    After twelve years as a freelance DOP, Shaun Herbertson joined the VBA to prepare for running a production company. Within a year he was running Huddle Productions and winning major TV commercials, with a clear roadmap for the years ahead.

    Where Shaun started

    Twelve years a freelance DOP, he joined pre-emptively, to prepare for the challenges of building a production company rather than waiting to hit them. Running a business on his own, he was, as he puts it, wandering in the dark.

    “When you're running a business by yourself, you're kind of wandering in the dark a lot and not really having a clear direction.”

    Shaun Herbertson, Huddle Productions

    The move

    The training plus the hive mind of an open, non-competitive group changed that, people in the same city sharing openly. He now has a clear roadmap for the years ahead, and gained some things he did not expect, more happiness and time to reflect.

    “The difference between now and when I started is I've just got a real clear roadmap of what year three, four, five and onwards looks like.”
