MAY 25
Working on a Freelance basis, I was responsible for creating multiple daily Social Media Highlights for Green man festival in wales as well as Bearded Theory in the West Midlands.
Everyday had multiple artists performing on various different stages and each video had to capture not only the artists but the atmosphere of the attendees.
As the marketing departments wanted to post these videos throughout the festival it meant a quick turnaround time that needed a high level of organisation and seamless collaboration was important to fulfil my obligations.
Contract Editor
Editing for Aerial Photography wales was one of my first long term collaborations. During my time there, and subsequent freelance work, I was responsible for completing a wide range of corporate, narrative and Promotional films.
Working with many big clients, Most recently Welsh Water.
