With over 10 years of experience as a camera operator and editor, I’ve captured visuals for the property, architecture, and construction industries. Skilled in both solo and team-based productions, I handle projects from concept to delivery, ensuring a seamless edit. Experienced in multi-camera shoots and live events, I adapt to any production setting to showcase spaces, builds, and designs at their best.

Software & Core Skills

Colourgrading

 

Colour accurate brand colours and product to the swatch number.

Making sure brand colours are consistent across platforms is important, especially when it’s a product for sale. The bottom right shows a photo of a scarf featured on a client’s website. I added an overall look to the video whilst isolating the scarf, colour matching the isolated scarf to the website photo.

 

Colourgrade + drone removal using tracking

  • Pass 1 - Original Shot

  • Pass 2 - Sky Colour

  • Pass 3 - Colour Noise Reduction

  • Pass 4 - Drone Removal

  • Pass 5 - Spotlight Enhancement (and some sound effects for a bit of fun!)

 

Colourgrade + Grain & TV light removal

As the two interviews were shot in different locations on different cameras, the colours needed matching in the grade to create consistency. Additionally, a TV screen was used in one of the interview shots that created unwanted blue light, this also had to be removed in the grade. Noise (visual) reduction was also required.

 

Colour/ Multi-Camera Matching

Shot on a mix of Sony & Blackmagic cameras with varying light settings, which required some fine tuning in the grade to create consistency.

Data wrangling, video formats and conversion

I have experience in working with large quantities of high quality footage, backing up and organising large quanitites of footage into organised edit projects; reducing hours and hours of footage to produce sets of succinct and focussed videos. I am also very familiar with 4k proxy workflows, identifying themes and creating selects timelines.

During my time in Dusseldorf at the 3 day International Judo event in 2020 I spent 3 days continually logging footage and backing up onto drives where high format footage was continually shot.
