About me
I consider myself to be quite creative and hate having nothing to do - I would much rather be busy than bored and although I am easy-going, I feel that I often produce my best work when under pressure and love working in a live environment such as TV. I am very passionate about things I love and have often been accused of being a bit of a geek on certain subjects, but I just see it as being focused, enthusiastic and studious! I enjoy working in a team and am always happy to help out in any way I can as I believe that teamwork is essential to any job for the best results as well as job satisfaction. I am experienced with cameras, lights and sound equipment as well as the editing programs Sadie, Cool Edit, Final Cut Pro (which I use at home) and Avid. I have attended several scripts writing courses through Sundance and The Prince Charles Cinema. I am also fully trained on VIZ, RED, Brainstorm, Photoshop and all office programmes such as Word and Excel.Referees:

Additional information:
I have worked for several music websites creating their video content such as interviews, award shows and live performances, as well as a writer on occasion. This involves everything from single-camera pieces to multi-camera shoots, making promotional material and organising locations and crew.
I started making music and putting on club/gig nights whilst at university in 2003, where I first got to combine my loves for music and directing by finding bands to play the uni-bar, whilst filming them for the website. I absolutely loved it started putting on nights around London under the name HypnoCops. I have played at some amazing events and venues such as KOKO, Cargo, Sonisphere, the Camden Crawl, the 1234 Festival and to a crowd of Santa’s at SantaCon. In 2007 I was offered a regular gig on the Piccadilly Party stage at Leeds Festival which I help organise and play every night of the festival. I have presented an hour-long show/podcast and produce music for GoldMine Studios.
