I am a freelance Director, Lighting Camera Operator and Editor. I use Adobe Products (Premiere Pro, After Effects) to edit in my home studio or with my clients, in addition to Final Cut Pro X and DaVinci Resolve. I use my own 4K camera, and lighting equipment to craft breathtaking moving images for my clients. I can manage projects from start to finish, or work under a producer as a freelancer.
Directing is something that gives me great pleasure - taking a brand or concept and visually conveying that message is a skill set I have been crafting for 15 years -since I picked up my first VHS camcorder and started making comedy films with my school friends. Since then I have directed adverts, TV pilots (and more comedy films with my school friends). I am creative, passionate and have a very clear vision.
Operating camera in the corporate video space is more than just hitting record. You are generally responsible for the content, lighting, sound and storytelling. This is something I really enjoy; working with the client to deliver beautiful, timeless images, underpinned by concise, relevant messaging. I am reliable, consistent and have great flexibility under pressure. I’ve also been told I’m fun to work with and put people at ease.
Once the footage has been shot, the real magic happens. Editing itself is an art form - one that has been evolving within my skill set since I began making films all those years ago. Editing is storytelling in it’s most raw form. Precisely where you make cuts, and in what order informs every aspect of the viewer experience. The more I edit, the better I am at shooting for my clients.
