Hello! I am fully self-sufficient in know-how and equipment: Cameras (fx6,a7s3), Lighting, Grip, Audio (radiomics, shotgun mic, podcast mic) and Post-Production (Adobe full suite, colour grading monitor, monitor speakers) - please let me know if you’d like me to send you my kit list.
Over the last 12 years I have worked as Self-Shooting Director/PD, Director Of Photography, Camera Op, Production Manager, Videographer, and Editor across feature documentaries, TVCs, events (live talks, round tables, coding demonstrations…), podcasts, corporates, and branded content, for both B2C & B2B and in many different aspect ratios.
From 2019 I did so through my own production company, Au Fait Films, as I worked less for agencies and more for my direct clients, like Gatwick Airport.
My LSE education has given me the confidence, and clients the trust in me, to independently edit sound bites cogently. This has proved invaluable to stretched internal departments who valued an external perspective.
I am very comfortable shooting on location, even particularly challenging environments (warzones and airports are the worst for sound so far!), and have filmed inside podcast and sound studios many times, including Abbey Road Studio 1.
For a long term client, RWL, I took this even further when I planned and kitted out an entire studio, which included an audio recording room. I even designed it so that their internal staff could take over my work, and even provided the training and materials for them to do so.
You may well want the cutdowns in various formats, and for this I have learned a great workflow for the post-production for social media. In 2020 alone, me and my team of up to 10 freelancers made 1,264 videos of all types for one single client (ranging from longer form explainers and podcasts to shorter form social media commercials) right from pre to post-production. I have since done similar work for international campaigns by the likes of Logitech, each featuring hundreds of multiple length edits (from 6s to 35s), built for 3 different social media formats (9:16, 1:1. 16:9), tailored for over 50 countries in 30 languages.
I am also proficient at sound, having originally learned this trade from recording music concerts and theatre shows (back in 2014), I have even done some work as a Sound Recordist. But as a Shooting PD and Videographer, recording audio is something I do day in day out, and will enjoy doing so all the more in a podcast recording environment.
I also worked as a Production Manager for 2 years in case you require scale.
Softwares I mainly use for post-production: Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Audition.
I would suggest a recce of the location to begin, so I can then come back to you with a comprehensive plan that maximises creative ambition and technical robustness for a smooth production.
