About me

Hi,

I'm Nicholas Cruz, I have just finished my third year of Bsc Film & TV Production at the University Of Greenwich.

I am a creative and initiative person who inspires to be a Writer/Director but also has the talents as an editor, VFX artist, grader, data wrangler, DIT, camera op, gaffer & grip.

In my course, 50% of my overall grade is the short film project; the short film I am creating with a team of 15 is a physiological drama called 'Fragmented', the film is now finished and being entered into film festivals.

I have had experience in both production and post-production houses in Soho, with a credit on corporate shoot, filming an NGO conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; camera and edit assisting as well as media wrangling / DIT.

I have a wide knowledge on softwares ranging from Premiere Pro - Avid - FCP7/X, After Effects, Da-Vinci - SpeedGrade.

For my short film we shot on Arri Alexa & C300 (this was to do with the cinematography - Alexa for flashbacks and C300 for present) - I've also handled Red One's, Canon's C300 multiple times, 5DIII and 1DX & 1DC.

I was awarded a BBC post production certificate for training on AVID at the wood norton facility in January 2015, giving me proficient skills in using AVID. Although I have extensive knowledge of Avid I still prefer AdobeCC as it has a much wider range in functionality, having Premiere, After Effects, Audition & SpeedGrade making it ideal to edit corporates, digital content and short films to a professional level.

I do also have my own iMac 27' with FCP7 and Adobe Suite for personal editing jobs. I may also buy Avid in the near future to take advantage of my student discount whilst it still lasts.

I have just graduated and am free for the summer and am keen on finding jobs in the industry.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any questions.
