I am currently editing a series of videos that I shot and directed on location in Utah for The Joy Formidable, which have been used in promoting their third studio album, ‘Hitch’. These videos consist of a teaser for the new album artwork, fifteen fan Q&A videos with the band, and a recording of the band performing and acoustic version of one of their new singles.

I was the sound recordist for an interview with Jonathan Blake - a key figure in this documentary that looks at the HIV crisis in the early eighties. I also shot a range of footage, on a Canon 5D mk III, in important locations around London’s Soho for the film.

I worked closely with the director, editor and DP to achieve the look that the director desired, using Da Vinci Resolve to grade 4K location footage that was shot in and around the streets of Paris, France.

I shot a range of videos for the BBC Media Planning department’s annual conference, which involved broadcast and media professionals from multiple broadcast/TV companies. I then edited these videos for them to be shared on my YouTube channel for BBC Media Planning staff to view.

As part of the training team I created video content for Ricoh's YouTube wiki channel. These videos were created for sending to clients to enable them to learn how to use various functions on Ricoh hardware and software. I also created internal videos for the training team to use to enhance their knowledge on Ricoh products, and filmed several video podcasts for the board of directors' monthly news updates. I directed, produced, edited, operated camera and created graphics for a corporate videos for the IT Services department.

I edited this music video from footage that the band had already filmed.

I shot a video for Shakespeare's Globe in London on the night of the opening of the new Sackler Studios. The video explored the work for which the studio had been created, and followed HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh as he toured the new building, met students and staff, and gave a speech before declaring the Studios open.

I filmed at the European Institute's annual conference in Berlin, capturing the events of the day and interviewing several CEO/CFO members of the Institute. I then edited this footage into a promotional video for the organization.
