Phil Archer - Producer

Having worked in the media industry for over 20 years, I've managed many successful digital campaigns incorporating digital video content, social media and online advertising as well as traditional media to create recognisable brand imaging, impressive analytics and produced and directed several advertising award spots along the way. My extensive creative background coupled with extensive technica

l training and experience in video and audio content development make my skill set particularly unique. The biggest, most successful notable project as the local producer and production manager for a recent big budget Warner Brothers reality show for Sky TV UK and Netflix Worldwide, speaks to my ability to handle large scale, multi-faceted projects with great attention to detail in a large team setting. As a registered, licensed and fully insured professional drone pilot for the last 3 years, I have logged well over 450 UAV flights and 100 hours flying and filming all over the Caribbean region, in challenging conditions (when absolutely necessary) - including flying a DJI Inspire 2 drone for the live international broadcast for the 2019 CPL T20 Tournament across the Caribbean and South America for India’s largest professional UAV/drone company, Quidich, Mount Gay Rum, Cobblers Cove and Eco Lodge hotels, as well as research/scouting for international production companies. I’m currently studying to obtain my part 107 FAA certification, but am already well versed in proper drone regulations and practices. Having founded and established my media production company Crucial Productions as one of Barbados’ leaders in digital content production and secured its place at the top of all SEO searches in its categories, I can bring this same level of success and competence to others. I am extremely creative, technical and personable with a passion for learning and an attention to detail; my unique vision allows me to see various market segments to which a product or service may appeal and I have the ability to reach those audiences successfully. I’ve devoted my career to creating high quality media, fostering brand recognition and growth while positively impacting revenues via engaging digital content. I'm passionate about my work. Did I mention I love my job?!

Appreciation post! (Part 1)
I was given the amazing opportunity to work in the beautiful country of Grenada for ten weeks with some incredibly talented, wonderful people on a large television series (yet to be released so can’t share spoilers!)
I literally have hundreds of great photos I want to share but alas IG only allows me 10. More to come!

HOTEL NEEDED - Location Scout: UK Reality Series

Looking for a full buyout for a high end beachside hotel in Barbados for 6 weeks from mid October to the 3rd week in November for a premier UK broadcaster. It could be a hotel that’s just been renovated, about to open or has low occupancy, either a large or smaller boutique hotel with a minimum of ten high end suites.

Please share with anyone you know may be interested, and PM me if you have any direct leads.

Thanks in advance!

Ten years ago. One of my first forays into visual media production after a decade in audio. Regional campaign conceptualized, produced and directed by me, video co-produced, VFX and edit by Neil Sorhaindo. Original music by Dwain Antrobus, jingle recorded/mixed/produced by me and vocals by the lovely Mahalia Cummins of 2 Mile Hill. Enjoyed the creative process on this one. A truly creative collaboration! 🇧🇧

Sometimes I miss posting about projects I’ve worked on because by the time it’s released, I’ve moved on to 2 or three other projects due to conflicting post production & production schedules. This is one example. We started filming this back in 2020.

So proud to call Mount Gay Rum my client. I’m very grateful to be a part of the team.

• 104 American, Israeli, British, New Zealand (and more!) - of the best film crew and cast in the industry who have fallen in love with Bim.

• Thousands of pieces of state-of-the-art film equipment in over 600 cases, in 1 massive cargo plane and I think 3 x 40’ shipping containers.

• Dozens of talented and hard-working Bajan film crew working directly on the project.

• Hundreds of local extras cast by the amazing Cindy Legall and Tyler Legall of Casting Barbados.

• Dozens of amazing and dynamic locations all around Barbados.

• Dozens of local Bajan companies and suppliers supporting the effort.

• Millions of dollars spent in our local economy.

We pulled it off yet again. HUGE thank you to our local crew, support team and suppliers and a very special thanks to our Government who facilitated everything we needed and more, especially our film Comissioner, Annette Nias.

It wasn’t easy by any means - but we did it!

And last but certainly not least - a very very special thanks to my wonderful person Jme Zimmerwoman who put up with my absence and stress at times - you’re my rock! 🙏❤️
.

To say I’m proud is a massive understatement. Barbados to the world! 🇧🇧 🌍 🙌

Waking up to the moonset over at 30K feet on on my way to Barbados - made me wonder if I was still dreaming.

UPDATE - it seems it’s actually Dominica, not Montserrat! Thanks to those that helped me solve the mystery! 😂
