🧭 Meet Our Media Team

Behind every frame is a crew that knows exactly where to be, what to shoot, and how to tell the story of offshore excellence. We don’t just operate cameras – we live and breathe the offshore environment. Meet Rusty and Patryk – the creative force behind Aurora Media.

Offshore Media Director

Daniel “Rusty” Russell

With over 20 years of offshore experience as a Rigging Supervisor, Barge Foreman, and now Construction Supervisor, Rusty brings much more than a camera to the job. Navigating the back deck in heavy seas while capturing razor-sharp footage is second nature to him.

He knows the rhythm of operations, understands where to be and when, and recognizes the key moments that define a project. Whether it’s a heavy lift or crew collaboration, his lens captures the scale, intensity, and humanity of your operations.

“I’ve lived the offshore life – now I tell its story through the lens.”

His industry insight means every shot has meaning, and every frame helps tell your success story with authenticity and impact.

Film & Marketing Director

Patryk Podgórski 🎬

Patryk is the mind behind the message. As our Film & Marketing Director, he combines creative storytelling with strategic vision to produce powerful, polished visual narratives.

With a strong background in corporate marketing, communications, editing, and branding, Patryk leads our content production across the board – from promotional videos and motion graphics to voiceovers and infographic animations.

His style elevates every project, ensuring it doesn’t just look good, but communicates effectively to the right audience.

“Patryk is a creative storm – with a smile.”

He’s also a key figure behind the scenes in campaign strategy and delivery, making sure each piece hits the mark visually and emotionally.
