About me
I'm a seasoned pro with a sense of humour.I've done pretty much every type of shooting over the years....from low-budget , no-budget stuff to major studio pictures.
I'm a steadicam operator and hand-held expert.
Done alot of doco work....very good at turning over on something without much warning and getting material that has energy and immediacy.
Interested in the quirky and the arty...
Interested in both the rough stuff and the exquisitely lit and composed image
I have directing skills and have made numerous TV docs as well as directing 2nd Unit on films.
Also I've done alot of B-Camera operating on films....fast and inventive.
