Hard working and tenacious, Murray does not give up until the job is done.
Murray is a professional and diligent shooter with good technical skills. He gets on well with contributors and works hard to cover things well. Murray went the extra mile for us shooting some great aerials that proved very useful in the edit.
I was very impressed with Murray's work ethic. As a director, he worked tirelessly to get the best from his team, ensuring consistently high standards. He is a proficient self shooter, able to provide the edit with well crafted sequences and beautiful shots.
Murray PD-ed two of our 60' BBC FOUR 'BBC Introducing Arts' short film anthologies, one with cultural historian Dr Janina Ramirez, the other with Radio 1 film critic Ally Plumb. He did a very good job on both and was excellent with 'the talent'. Murray's a very positive guy and easy to work with. He's also a very good self-shooter.
Allan Campbell, Series Producer, BBC Introducing Arts.
