I am an enthusiastic and resilient freelance Camera Operator, Editor and Edit Assistant. Working in a broad variety of roles across multiple TV genres/platforms including HETV, Natural History, Daytime and Government Communications, has allowed me to engage with each stage of production with a deeper understanding of their influence on one another.
As a Camera Operator I thrive in challenging environments, have a strong editorial awareness and can make creative suggestions to Directors. I am a confident self shooter filming 4K on a variety of cameras including Sony (FX9, FX6, FX3, FS7, A7Siii), BlackMagic, Canon (5DIV, C200, C300) etc. I can also operate drones within the A2CofC qualification and can rig and maintain a variety of specialist kit such as gimbals, hidden cameras, and vehicle mounts. I have previously worked as a Camera Operator filming VT's for The One Show, public informational content for the Civil Service as well as many more freelance corporate and documentary productions.
Alongside camera, I also work as a freelance Editor/Edit Assistant. I enjoy the multidisciplinary nature of editing, both the technical aspect and making the most out of the footage to create a compelling narrative. I am confident editing in AVID, Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro, dealing with various formats/codecs, raid arrays and safe storage management. I have previous experience as an Offline Editor for Schoolyard Films and Design102, and Edit Assistant experience at Nutopia, Silverback Films and Plimsoll Productions; processing, ingesting, organising rushes, setting up the edit, syncing, sync pulling, grouping, creating sync maps, doing pre-edits, assemblies, and short-form offline editing.
