I am a freelance producer, camera operator and editor, with over 20 years of TV experience. I am a self shooter with my own kit and can also work very comfortably as part of a team. I have a positive 'can-do' attitude and keep a cool head under pressure, always thinking on my feet as to the best way to get the job done as smoothly as possible. I am equally at home with both studio or location shoots, with much experience in hand-held work, particularly with live bands. I have also acted as vision mixer, mixing live studio shows to air. My own kit consists of Canon XF205 or Canon C100 DSLR, remote wireless Sennheiser 816 boom and Lavalier tie-clip audio, and a full LED lighting kit, plus portable green screen. I can provide full crew if required, including second camera and make-up people (including SFX make-up). My editing kit is Final Cut Pro X, and I am also an accomplished DVD author, having authored numerous DVDs for Portland Television.
