Read MoreI am a technically minded, Glasgow based AP/researcher with a full, clean, driving licence and excellent references. I have spent the last few years working across many genres of TV, as well as doing my own solo videography work to improve on both my knowledge of the industry and my practical ability. I have a vast amount of experience working on location, as well as in a studio set up for both live and pre-recorded productions.
I am a very confident camera and drone operator with experience shooting with the Sony FX9, FS7 and FX6, Canon Cameras as well as my personal Sony A7Siii, and DJI Mini 4 Pro Drone. While my skills and experience do lend themselves more obviously to a shooting role, I do have plenty of experience at the office-based side of the researcher role and I am very efficient in setting up shoots, gaining access and ensuring all compliance is correct. I have a keen eye for story and have proven to be a significant help to PD’s as both a second shooter and in making sure all editorial notes are covered while on location. I am also well versed with Go Pro’s, radio and boom microphones and most other kit. I have a large amount of experience wrangling and backing up rushes using Shotput Pro. As well as my shooting ability I also possess great people skills and a lot of experience with contributors of all ages and background.
I believe my vast experience shooting for broadcast TV at the researcher position and setting up and shooting my own videography projects really sets me apart from others at the AP/researcher position as my shooting abilities are fairly advanced and I am fully aware at all times to be shooting for the edit as I am knowledgeable about what coverage is required for each scene.

I am looking for future Assistant Producer roles to continue to improve my abilities to plan, produce and develop a story and expand on my skill set and knowledge of the industry.
