Clare is extremely hard working, talented and an asset to any team, As her first role as SP she took on a very difficult and demanding production which involved planning a ten part series, setting up filming abroad, self shooting, working on edit plans and programmes and running two edits. This was all conducted at a time when the world went into lockdown - the most difficult time for any production. Clare's calm nature and tenacity shone through and despite the challenges she managed to get the series filmed efficiently, confidently and safely, within very strict COVID protocols.
Overall, Clare took on the role with passion and dedication taking complete ownership to deliver an exceptionally strong series to the Channel that beat all records in terms of viewing figures.
Clare worked for me on a series during lockdown. I'd heard good things about her but she exceeded expectations. During the production phase she was practical, resourceful, creative and full of common sense that helped us to overcome some logistical nightmares. Then during the edit her scripting and story spotting were spot on which made my job as Series Producer much more straightforward than it might have been. Through it all she was incredibly conscientious, full of good humour, creative and a good sounding board.
Clare is a real asset to any team. She's a strong shooter, story-producer and edit producer. At True North she has worked on a number of our key - returning - brands and I have always felt very confident leaving key contributors and stories in her capable hands. She is also incredibly can-do and has frequently volunteered to help out on other productions - often a the end of a long week on her own project - and this generosity of spirit and appetite to experience every appetite of production has served her well as she is such a flexible team member who can turn her hand to almost every aspect of production.
Clare has worked twice for me as a producer and a DV director, demonstrating impressive competence and dedication. From sourcing helicopters overnight to keeping a cool head filming while stranded at sea, Clare has delivered in the toughest, most unpredictable circumstances. Her infectious enthusiasm and solid editorial judgment complete the profile of a genuine one-off.
Clare spent three months working as part of the team on BBC1 Wales' weekly consumer strand X-Ray. She is a really hard working shooting director who has lots of ideas and she made some strong, creative films. She is a good journalist who knows the consumer genre very well and can dig down into a story and turn it into watchable TV!
I was delighted with Clare's work at Newsround. She was with us for a little over a month working on a debate show. She was hard working, thorough and unflappable.
I found Clare to be a dedicated and hard working AP. I have worked with her on a daytimne consumer show and a prime time documentary series. Her research and journalism skills are very stong and as well as this she is first rate in maintaining relations with contributors and talent.
