Background
Over 30 years working on commercials, showreels, idents, music videos, documentary productions and artist film & video. Through these varied roles I’ve gained much experience across the field, working as part of a team and also on my own. I have an excellent working knowledge both in Windows PC and Mac of Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop. Other interests include DSLR video, digital and analogue photography.
