If you have an idea for a promo video, short film or perhaps even a feature, then I can help you turn that vision into a product. Anyone with a smart phone can make a video and upload it to YouTube these days. What I'm talking about is getting the video to convey your message on every level. Colour, framing, depth of focus, music, perspective, lighting, sound, aspect-ratio and pace of edit are just a handful of factors which can affect the viewers reaction to a video. If you know what you want your audience to feel, I can apply the appropriate techniques to achieve that response.
In addition to a B.Eng. in Audio and Video Engineering, my experience includes working on feature films, short films, event videos, music videos, promotional videos and commercials. Over 500 hours of experience in studio as DP, camera operator, floor manager, lighting, sound, presenter, VT, and director. On large scale productions I've gained 120 hours of experience as a runner, on location and during pre-production. A complete record of my work can be found at the bottom of this page.
Based in Glasgow's West End, I am more than happy to travel for productions anywhere in the UK.
