As the Founder and Director of Arc Shot Media, for the past decade, James Lopes and his team have been actively producing videos for the corporate sector, creative industries, business, retail and fashion, construction, and music industry, sharing their individual and unique stories.
We call this Impactful Storytelling, and we do this by creating unique and highly creative concepts that help our clients set themselves apart from what the pack are doing, and stand alone with focusing on their own points of difference and unique selling points.
Our specialties include:
Video Marketing Strategy | Project Management |Video Script Writing | Concept Development and Storyboarding | Video Production | Editing and Special Effects | Delivery
We understand that to deliver the best results for our clients, you need to work with a team of experts, and our team of skilled videographers, marketers, actors, presenters and editing technicians create compelling ad campaigns that cut through the noise and create memorable and standalone vision.
We are particularly passionate about creating clever stories where the power is in the message itself, and utilising technology as a tool to support a great story, not save it.
It’s easy to shoot a nice video that positions you in the middle of the pack, but in this tough market, that’s a recipe to fail. You need a strategy behind what you do and to work with a team that supports your brand’s vision and brand message.
We have worked all around Australia, partnering with our clients and delivering great work which has seen James strapped to the outside of a helicopter (because we couldn’t shoot the particular area with a drone), perched up on top of skyscrapers to get the best vistas, and shot in some of the remotest areas in South Australia and Central NSW. There is almost nothing James won’t do to get the ‘perfect shot’! (Bungee jumping does not look appealing!)
There is an unspoken truth about your brand just waiting to be told, that will connect it to your audience on a much deeper level and we call this IMPACTFUL STORYTELLING.

WHO IS JAMES LOPES?
James Lopes (pictured above), the Director and Founder of Arc Shot Media, has been working in video and digital production for the past decade, and was born on the same day that Kodak invented the first digital camera. Well, not really. But that is his preferred version of the story, such is his passion for his craft.
James is very highly regarded by his peers, clients, the Arc Shot Media team, and is a master in the art of creating excellent video. He scripts, storyboards, produces, directs, shoots, edits and can even write your jingle with an extensive music career before developing his love for video production. His knowledge of video is second to none, but perhaps even more important is his ability to make people at ease within the medium. He has coaxed strong camera presences from hundreds of clients over the years, but also has access to an array of talented presenters and actors if appearing is not your thing.
“James is the perfect cocktail of professional, personable and creative genius! I have been in business for 15 years and have had several professional videos made in order to capture my work and showcase what I do for promotional purposes…but the one that James recently made for me is by far the most effective and professional form of advertising I have ever had. I cannot recommend his unique skillset enough.
Pure magic!”
Sarah Rowan, Australia’s Top Female Speed Painter
James has shot everything from cinema ads, business promos, retail and fashion videos, trade services and music videos. His credo?
“If I can’t do it, it can’t be done. And there’s no such thing as can’t, so I can do it”
James Lopes, Director Arc Shot Media
