ABOUT
Creative work shaped by experience, curiosity, and respect for the story.
Tin Crown Creative is a Birmingham commercial film and photography production company serving brands, organizations, and advertising agencies.
Tin Crown is led by Michael “Bear” Praytor, Director / DP / Photographer and Founder / Creative Lead. He brings more than two decades of experience in directing, cinematography, commercial photography, editing, and production. Tin Crown builds the right production team around each assignment, scaling from nimble crews to full commercial productions. Michael’s broader personal and freelance portfolio is available at PraytorImages.com.
Good work starts with understanding the assignment.
Every project begins with the people, purpose, and audience behind it. We take the time to understand what the work needs to communicate, where it will be seen, and what it should make people feel.
The goal is not simply to create something polished. It is to create work that feels clear, intentional, and useful long after production ends.
WORKING DIRECTLY WITH CLIENTS OR ALONGSIDE AGENCIES.
Tin Crown Creative works directly with organizations and also supports advertising agencies, marketing teams, and communications departments that need an experienced production partner.
The role may change from project to project, whether that means direction, cinematography, photography, editing, or full production, but the goal remains the same: make the work stronger and the process easier.THE NEXT CAMPAIGN STARTS HERE.
