Originally I was hired as the sole editor for the company working on multiple music videos, album campaigns and social media content for bands and artists such as Blossoms, Jamie T and CVC.
Later I was given more responsibility overseeing the full project for Das Koolies (4 members of Super Fury Animals)
The project consisted of producing multiple videos for their debut album as this new group. This project involved studio shoots as well as VFX heavy videos that I was tasked to produce and edit.
Currently I am responsible for a variety of slated productions, including Feature Films as well as Limited Series'.

MAY 25
Working on a Freelance basis, I was responsible for creating multiple daily Social Media Highlights for Bearded Theory Festival over the 4 days the event ran.
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 department 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.
