Corporate Showreel
This selection of corporate video shows work I’ve done with small business to larger clients such as Sony, Google and Nvidia. I have experience in lighting, green screen and live streaming for a variety of clients.
With a passion for people, culture, music and arts, I graduated with a 1st class honours degree in media/ theatre arts in 1998. For the last 10 years I have been a self shooting producer, director and editor, my work has taken me to over 20 different countries in 6 different continents.
My films span a broad range of genres from documentaries, dramas, lifestyle, campaign/promos, music events, corporate and animation.
Combining my love of art, culture, animals and nature, I began to specialise in making and producing a diverse range of wildlife/ environmental films whilst I was working and living amongst the local communities. These received national coverage in the countries they were made in. This then led me into undercover investigations/ documentaries which were shown on the BBC, Guardian and Independent websites, Green TV and the Ecologist to name a few.
Over the years I have been asked to give various talks and workshops about how to make high impact, low budget films and I have also trained and given workshops in undercover investigations using covert cameras.
In 2007 I worked alongside Leicester University and the Darwin Foundation teaching conservation filmmaking in Kenya and Tanzania, helping to pioneer the Community -based Biodiversty Conservation Fimmaking (CBCF) project.
With a love of the arts and music I have also ventured into making videos for independent bands, filming at Glastonbury, Pilton Party and various
awards shows.
To add to the diversity and learn some more aspects of filmmaking, I became head of production for an online corporate video company, making films for publishers, exhibition organisers and directories. This included live streaming events for Google and Sony an extensive use of green screen and virtual studios. In this role I managed over 300 filmmakers while still shooting a few of the fims myself.
