I am a Birmingham and London based camera operator working in the film, television, live events and corporate video sectors. I have hundreds of hours of invaluable experience in the use of digital video cameras. I am trained on the most up to date cameras on market along with a host of camera equipment and techniques. These include camera rigs dolly/tracking/jib. As well as commercials for the web, I have worked on many live events and dance show videos. These include corporate events for Coca Cola, Kowa, Kerridge Commercial Systems and ABRSM. When on a video shoot, my in depth knowledge of video allows me to trouble shot quickly and spot problems before they occur. I specialise at working on location, where there is likely to be more opportunity for creativity using the environments available. I find that creativity can thrive when presented with challenges as apposed to having all the tools available to you. I am also a camera operator that can work in a lighting studio and on green screen. I don’t just point and shoot, I work to understand the message behind every sequence, every shot and what the client/director is trying to convey. I give the director options to choose from when planning my shots and can explain the effect each option might have. Through industry experience, I have also developed in-depth skills in post-production (Including Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Photoshop) scriptwriting, marketing, distribution, film law and film business. I have an excellent working knowledge of both PC and Macintosh systems. When editing, I like to think outside the box as I feel that this not only attracts more attention, it is also something fresh in a world full of the norm.
