I worked closely with Chris from early 2019 to late 2021 on two consecutive projects, both involving large amounts of macro and studio filming. His practical, hands-on skills are unsurpassed both in the studio and in the field and mean that he is infinitely adaptable to all the usual curveballs that filming throws up. An incredibly dependable and responsible member of the crew, I am always fully confident he can be trusted to get a job done on a shoot with little or no support.
I've been working on shoots with Christopher for the last couple of years. He has a very good understanding of the film making process and is a very thorough researcher. I also greatly appreciate his practical abilities on set and his understanding and know how with camera equipment.
I first met Christopher when he was a student at the National Film and Television School where he was a student, it was very clear then that he would be a great asset to the industry and I was delighted to get the chance to work with him soon after.
On location he is very hands on, innovative and always comes with a very positive attitude. Having researched many of the sequences we've been filming he has had a deep understanding of both the behavior and the story we are telling.
People will enjoy working with Chris as he has a friendly and likable demeanor which is so important in our line of work.
I'd have no hesitation to work with Christopher again and fully expect him to do well in his career.
