About me

I'm a Director and Editor fresh into London from Sydney, Australia. I'm an experienced editor in Adobe Premiere and Quantel Qube, an accomplished content director and a videographer keen on documentary-style storytelling. I've worked with some of Australia's biggest brands and news companies and can't wait to work with London's best and brightest.

Projects

• Senior Video Producer @ The AustralianHere's a short little showreel from my time at The Oz. All content shot and edited by me, sampled from a range of our feature content.
• No Activity: The Night Before Christmas - FeaturetteWorking alongside Dave Cain from Greenlights, I shot, edited and co-produced this Featurette for a special one-off Christmas episode of the award winning Australian series No Activity. Featuring some of Australia's biggest names in comedy, the series is bitingly funny and the actors leaned in during our interviews. As the brief swelled, so too did my roll, going from shoot/producing to a full edit.
• Over and Out - FeaturetteWorking alongside the producing powerhouse of Midwinter Films, I shot and edited this Featurette to promote CANNESERIES short winner "Over and Out", a family comedy set in a near-future zombpocalyspe.

Freelance Editor and DirectorJames Tindale
Jun 2017Sydney, AustraliaFreelance
After a long stint as senior video producer at a newspaper, I was ready to meet the freelance world head on. Continuing with my skills as a Director, shooter, and editor, I created content as a full-service production house and in collaboration with In The Thicket for brands including Westpac, Lendlease and Sydney Opera House. For charity CRBF, I directed and edited two commercials featuring some of Australia's biggest stars and with Australia's best comedy production house Jungle, I edited a music video for Tim Minchin and shot behind the scenes content for their shows. I've also worked directly with brands to create promotional content for web and social and worked extensively as a field producer interviewing a range of talent in Sydney and Melbourne. Today I'm based in London and looking for my next rodeo.

Senior Video ProducerThe Australian Newspaper
Jun 2015 - Jun 2017Sydney, AustraliaFull Time
Creating and developing The Australian Newspaper's voice and identity in video. Starting out as a team of one, I evolved the department to a team of three and exponentially grew the paper's reach, particularly through social. Given the diverse range of topics discussed in the paper, our voice and format needed to be reactive and malleable, resulting in videos that focused on Food, Music, Politics, Art, Fashion and Current Affairs. As Senior Video Producer I was charged with maintaining the voice and style and editorship of the ideas pitched by my team. I directed, shot and edited our feature video content, developed all graphics alongside the head of product design, and collaborated intensively with journalists and editors of the paper's different and varied products.
