About me

Hello Ad Land! I'm a Self-Shooting Director and Senior Editor; having worked in major agencies and publishers for 10 (ish) years. I've directed global brand campaigns for Adidas, Nike, Rapha, Hyundai, Standard Chartered Bank and Loewe. My perfect job is people focused short-docs or editorial style films. I've edited TVCs with proper offline > online workflows; but also fast turnaround cut 'n grade edits. I use Premier with After Effects on an iMac PRO; which I'm happy to set up at your agency. I own Sony FS7 & a7Sii shooting kits with audio and lighting. I've also Produced and Co-Directed "They Sing up on the Hill"; an indie-music, coming-of-age romance set Mongolia! Hope to meet you soon, Ian A.
