I take raw, unedited audio and from that alone create entertaining list videos for an audience of over a million subscribers. In it, I either source footage and assets or record and make my own. Combined, my videos have gained over five million views.

I was approached by a member of the German Alexa division of Amazon to adapt my current project at the time, Polybius, to their range of devices. During this project: * I worked both with a team made up of students from Bournemouth University and other contacts. The project was conceptualised, written and planned in a month with production taking three days and post-production wrapping up in just under a month. * Throughout the creation of Polybius, I undertook the roles of the project manager, video editor, visual effects and graphics creator, logger on location and I did the final sound mix of the film along with creating the YouTube and Eko ports of the film. * I focused on working with Amazon to adapt the movie I had created to their platforms which included creating a whole separate audio-only version of the film for devices that did not have a screen. * I rewrote the script to work in an audio-only format while using the original video version’s audio and added sound effects to create a whole new experience along with also being the narrator as I integrated the Alexa voice into the short film as a character and I did not want the listener to be confused by hearing two different Alexa voices. The project was successful and Polybius is out now on all Alexa and Echo devices along with YouTube and Eko.
