About

A Video Production Company Founder Doing Things Differently

Goose & Racket Productions is led by Jack Godwin, a music-loving sandcastle fan with buckets of videography experience and enthusiasm.

My career has taken me many incredible places over the past 10+ years.

It’s given me the opportunity to work on cutting-edge content with lots of the UK’s brightest creative brains for some of the world’s most-loved brands and organisations.

Hello, I’m Jack

I’m one of those people who always knew they wanted to work with images. I’ve been into video and photography for as long as I can remember, which is how I ended up as the proud owner of a media production degree from the University of Westminster.

Straight out of uni, I landed a highly sought-after job as a runner at Channel 4. I was once responsible for ensuring Countdown reached the right room to be broadcast on time — this is surely undeniable proof that I’m a very safe pair of hands!

In-House Work for an Award-Winning Agency

After my time at Channel 4, I joined the art department of an award-winning video production agency in Essex. As a production designer, I created technology, white goods, and toy ads for household-name brands.

In that role, I wore many hats. I was responsible for tasks including set design, prop sourcing, and storyboarding, as well as shooting content in the studio and on location. I also art-directed countless live shoots and 3D-animated product videos.

Nobel Prize Winners & Multi-Million-Dollar Budgets

I eventually decided it was time to move back to my home city of Bath, where I accepted a position at a science publishing company. In this role, I travelled the world managing multi-million-pound campaigns for major global brands.

I frequently attended trade shows, covered events, and conducted interviews. I even got the opportunity to film an interview with Fraser Stoddart, a Nobel Prize winner!

Quotation marks

I’ve worked with Jack on many projects over the years. He is … flexible and accommodating on projects … and he has a great work ethic. He is also a really nice person, which I find always makes life just that little bit easier!

Outside the Studio

A Sunny Orchard/Straw Boater Combo

In 2024, I switched to working for myself as a freelance videographer and haven’t looked back! I’m still based in Bath and building Goose & Racket into the video production company of my dreams. 

Outside of work, I’m a lover of vinyl records, gardening, and sandcastle-building. My ambition in life is to have an orchard where I can spend sunny days reading books in a classy racing-green deckchair while wearing a straw boater hat. 

Until that day comes, I fill my time with music and art. I volunteer at Glastonbury doing painting… so I might not be very responsive during the last weekend in June.

My Network

I’ve Always Got the Right People for the Job

Goose & Racket is a small, agile company, which means I can be flexible with schedules, budgets, and deliverables. 

When a project calls for more creative minds and a collaborative approach, my digital rolodex is on hand, featuring trusted folks I’ve worked with over the past decade in the video production world.

From set builders and CGI artists to scriptwriters and SFX specialists, my network of freelancers has the skills needed to meet briefs of all shapes and sizes.
