I'm a junior video project manager and scriptwriter and a highly experienced copywriter, editor, feature writer, content manager and assistant art director.I've been working in the creative industry for more than 10 years, but only recently made the move into video and animation project management. After studying storyboarding under Aardman Animation in Bristol I decided that I wanted to take my video editing further as a career prospect.I’m a journalist and commercial copywriter who has made a living through storytelling for more than a decade. Previous roles I have held include Feature Editor, Head of Creative, Managing Editor and Project Manager, predominantly in the field of lifestyle. I’m a research-led copywriter and the majority of the content I write usually includes a direct interview with an industry expert or celebrity. I write in both short and long form, from ten word campaign headlines up to 3,000 word articles. I’ve worked on a range of lively and informative titles including Grand Designs Magazine, Perfect Wedding, Cineworld Magazine, E&T Magazine and Specsavers Magazine.However, after a decade in print magazine editing I’m finding that work within this industry is on the decline. I’ve predominantly written and edited magazines and online content, but in recent years I’ve become interested in video. This professional curiosity has led to me Project Managing several video and animation projects for clients. I’ve enjoyed producing storyboards for promotional videos and product videos and have found great enjoyment in managing and worked alongside videographers, animators and graphic designers.My interest in this field led me to undertake Digital Video Editing night classes at City of Bristol College, and while I have some experience of using Adobe’s Premier Pro, the area in which I fall short is the practical side of video editing. As I experience my industry changing and migrating over to a more visual video format, I also want to stay current, become adaptive and continue to create brilliant, quality content. While I’ve spent a lot of time Assistant Art Directing static photoshoots I now want to branch out into a career in pure video editing. I'm passionate about learning more about video setup, lighting, editing and budgeting as well as more intensive deep dives into storyboarding, scriptwriting and filming techniques. Read Less
