    Lead Video Producer/EditorCUBE VIDEO
    Taplow, United KingdomFull Time
    Within my role at CUBE I’ve had a wide-range of responsibilities. From concept to completion, I’ve been involved in the entire video production process ensuring the client is completely satisfied, meeting KPIs and building strong, long-term working relationships. My role includes ideation, pitching, screenwriting, casting VO Artists, storyboarding, lighting, directing, filming (including gimbal work with C200s and C70s), editing, sound-editing colour-grading, motion graphic animation and much more. I’m accustomed to a high-level of responsibility, frequently working as lead creative on many productions with five-figure budgets and fast turnarounds. In recent years I have started to manage video editors and production crew, developing a strong network of freelancers. In a typical month I tend to spend 70% of my time editing, 15% filming and 15% on pre-production & client-communication. Over the years I’ve worked on a variety of different projects including brand videos, documentaries, Instagram videos, talking heads, event highlights, commercials and podcasts.

    Floor Runner / Stand-InLBP The Crown Series 2 Ltd.
    Elstree Film Studios, Shenley Rd, Borehamwood WD6 1JG, UKFreelance
    When working on The Crown I had the responsibilities of a Floor Runner as well as a Stand-in. I stood-in for Matt Smith as well as most of the male characters in Season 2 of The Crown. A large benefit of this was having the opportunity to watch crew rehearsals, which would include observing very-talented directors such as Benjamin Caron and Stephen Daldry directing very-talented actors such as Matt Smith, Claire Foy and Vanessa Kirby. This experience has shaped the way I direct and communicate creatively. As a Set PA my team was responsible for the organisation and smooth-running of a set, as well taking care of cast members, producers and directors. This required a high-level of focus, determination and team-working skills.
