Storytelling Content

I create informal storytelling videos and character-driven entertainment content for social media.

Character-Led Story Video

A focused storytelling video built around a memorable character, observation, or everyday situation.

A More Personal Way to Tell Your Story

I develop the central idea into a concise performance that feels natural, specific, and easy to connect with. The tone can be conversational, comic, awkward, warm, or deliberately unexpected, depending on the audience and platform. Every choice supports the character and gives the video a clear reason to keep watching.

The process leaves room for spontaneity while keeping the story focused. I can work from a supplied brief, a loose premise, or an initial conversation, then shape the delivery, pacing, and performance around the strongest moments. The finished content is designed to feel informal and distinctive, with enough structure to communicate clearly in a social feed.

Ideal For

  • Personal brands with a strong point of view

  • Creators developing recurring characters

  • Businesses wanting more human social content

  • Campaigns built around humour or observation

How It Works

  1. Share the Idea: We discuss the story, audience, tone, and intended platform.

  2. Shape the Character: I refine the premise, performance approach, and key beats.

  3. Create the Video: I record the content with a natural delivery and focused edit direction.

About

Character comes first

I am Murray "Murf" Laidlaw, an actor who brings instinct, timing, and a strong sense of character to every performance. My approach is informal and collaborative, with a focus on finding the human detail, comic rhythm, or unexpected point of view that makes a story feel genuine. I create work that is relaxed on the surface and carefully considered underneath. Storytelling content gives me room to combine acting craft with direct, conversational performance. I shape each video around a clear idea, believable character, and natural delivery, so the result feels made for social media rather than adapted from a script. Clients can expect engaging content with personality, pace, and a distinct voice.
