Description

Personal Details:
Having initially spent three years working for camera facility companies, I gained a broad and thorough understanding of most formats and accessories. Having witnessed the burgeon of High Definition, I received valuable training in this area directly from Sony and Panasonic themselves. My subsequent freelance career has been varied. I originally undertook work as a camera trainee which was valuable and gave me an insight into larger productions including the feature film 'In Bruges' and many other dramas such as 'Silent Witness,' 'Jekyll,' 'Burn Up,' 'Primeval' and 'Ashes to Ashes.' More recently I have assisted on a range of High Definition projects.
