Hi, I’m Murray Wilson, a freelance camera operator and director/editor with over a decade of experience in broadcast, documentary, and corporate projects. I’ve collaborated with major broadcasters such as Sky Sports, BBC, HBO, STV, and PBS, delivering VT packages and on-screen pieces both as a lone shooter and as part of larger crews. I love shaping stories from concept to delivery, setting up lighting and cameras, directing shoots, and editing content to meet tight broadcast and client deadlines. Beyond TV, I’ve produced and directed for STV’s The People’s History Show, worked as STV Video Journalist, and covered events from the Big Sleep Out to the Mary Queen of Scots premiere. I’m comfortable coordinating shoot locations, coordinating contributors, and adapting to fast-changing stories while keeping a friendly, collaborative approach on set.
