About me
I'm a freelance animator and production runner based in Newport, South Wales. I have a great interest for film, television and media production and I have a special interest to one day be part of a production team working on feature films. I also enjoy anything that's brought to life visually through animation, VFX and motion graphics.Since graduating in 2006 I've managed to build up my own cliental as a freelance animator, for whom I produce tailored motion graphics and graphic design material. I've also filmed; edited and compiled DVD's for weddings using a standard HD Sony Camcorder, Adobe Premier and DVD Lab Pro and edited a promo music video for a singer/song-writer progressing in the music industry.
In September 2007 I began working as a freelance runner in television on productions for BBC1 Wales, BBC3, ITV 1 and Channel 5. I've had the privilege of working alongside the likes of Olivia Newton John, Michael York, Lord Michael Heseltine, Paddy McGuiness, Rory McGrath and Rosemary Shrager, whilst working for RDF Television, IWC Media and Yellow Duck Productions. I gained huge knowledge in the T.V. industry which I believe will help me in any future career I decide to take.
I'm enthusiastic, very creative and imaginative individual with good communication, organisational skills and have a good sense of humour. I work well as part of a team as well as working autonomously if required
I really want to develop and progress in my chosen career in Television, Film, Animation and/or Graphic Design, to the mutual benefit of the company I work for and for my own personal development.
Additional information:
EXPERIENCE AS A RUNNER:
During my career in Television as a runner I have enhanced my communication and general skills, both with co-worker's, cast and celebrities. I have had a very good insight into the complexities of working in a studio and on location and witnessed the responsibilities of cameramen, soundmen, directors and assistant producers, from whom I've gained experience and enhanced my skill set. This included handling, preparing and rigging/de-rigging crew equipment, such as cameras, sound equipment, lighting and charging and providing fresh battery packs and tapes. I've also assisted with recording sound working for RDF Digital, for the behind the scenes footage of 'Being Human'. I've chauffeured cast, crew and equipment to various locations around the UK on time and made sure props and contributors were ready before the crew arrived for filming. As a runner I've also dealt with contributor forms and location agreements, looked after float money, provided cast and crew with refreshments and made sure equipment was securely stored away and all area's were tidy.
