Highlights

• I am based in London and have had various forms of practical experience, such as being a runner for the 'Angelos Epithemiou' show, which was produced at Pinewood, as well as a teaching assistant at my University's production house, teaching local schoolchildren about the different formats of media production. My practical application is also lengthened by my undergraduate course in Film, where I undergo both elements of film production and history. I have also had experience with Company pictures and worked on a met film school production as a camera assistant and also as a production assistant on a short film in London titled 'Cacophony'. I have great experience with the canon XF300 which I used for student productions and my freelance projects (notably filming houses that are being sold on the market), as well as being avid in the use of final cut pro. I have freelanced for Think Tall films, a corporate company who specialise in commercials and promotional videos. I have also worked for my university as a teaching assistant, developing school media projects with local schoolchildren about the different formatting of techniques and equipment, which was an enriching experience. We made anything from factual-based documentary pieces, talking heads, music and variety shows, to short dramatic sequences, filled with superheros and Romeo and Juliet-esque stories. A live studio feed and green screen/chroma key was essential in providing another realm of imagination, as well as proving useful for weather and news reports. In addition to this, I have been a camera department assistant on a Met film school production and production assistant on a short film in London titled 'Cacophony'. I also freelance for Think Tall films, a corporate company who specialise in commercials and promotional videos. I have recently been a camera operator for a festival in Northern Ireland and have some experience with Guestlist network, who I had an internship with.
