About me
I'm a creative, technically-proficient Creative/Videographer/Editor/Motion Designer. In my many years of broadcast and freelance experience, I've worn various hats; from writing promo scripts for on-air campaigns, offline and online edits for on-air promos, art directing teams of designers and animators on multi-territory franchise promo campaigns, freelance motion graphics work, directing shoots and voice-over sessions, to shooting, cutting and delivering corporate video; I have an in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience of video production from concept to delivery with several blue-chip clients. I've worked with the Product and Brand 3D team at Sky, creating video content for events and installations at their headquarters as well as numerous corporate and promotional videos for a variety of clients. I cut on-air promos for Channel 5 as well as commercial work for the Creative Advertising team at Nickelodeon (as well as UK on-air), producing and directing sponsorship and commercials for the UK channels and various clients. I worked on promo, commercial and digital campaigns for Disney and Cartoon Network brands. I cut and produced from concept through to delivery, Europe-wide on-air campaigns for Cartoon Network's core franchises such as Ben 10, Adventure Time and Star Wars: the Clone Wars. I co-produced an award-winning online campaign for Malaria-no-More as well as various digital projects including web content for Ben 10 Omniverse that has generated millions of hits for the various CN sites. I functioned as a one-man video production department for Cox Automotive UK, filming, editing, motion graphic design, storyboarding and producing internal and external marketing content. I most recently worked with Powerhouse Digital Photography in Leeds to help establish a Post-Production workflow as well as doing editing, grading and motion design work for clients such M&S, Asda and Heart Research UK.
