  Adventure Specialist

  Working with children aged from 8 to 15 I was responsible for their safety and engagement while teaching rock climbing and high ropes courses. Again, working in a small but highly trained team to provide this has given me an excellent skill set in teamwork and communication.

  Freelance

  Jun 2013 - now

  Freelance Editor and camera operator

  During my time in freelance I have been exposed to many different clients, projects and technology. Working with major clients such as ICAP, Alpha sights and Trinity Marketing along with smaller companies gives me an excellent range of skills and practical knowledge of pre, post and during production. These experiences can have me behind a camera using DSLR’s or larger equipment with lighting and sound. Alternatively I can use all major editing packages on projects including: Final Cut Pro, Motion, After Effects and Photoshop. Being able to have this flexibility in projects means I can contribute in many different ways to the benefit of the client. In my work for ICAP I was part of a small team that created a brand new graduate recruitment drive. Editing interviews and bringing together footage, videos I created are now the a main feature of the recruitment site for ICAP. Following on from ICAP I have also produced for for the CFA Institute promoting their CFA, CIPM and Claritas programs. Again, keying interviewees and editing together promotional material but also creating from scratch transition elements and on screen animations to fit with the wider branding of the CFA.Previous to this area of work I created a short animation for Trinity marketing to promote their year on year growth to current clients. I was the sole motion graphic designer for this and embedded content from others in the animation. This was made using Motion 5 and working with the client to gain access to their digital assets and preparing them for use in video. Show less

  Royal Air Force (RAF)

  Oct 2015 - Nov 2015

  Air Craftsman

  In October 2015 I joined the RAF as a firefighter but due to injury and lifestyle clashes I withdrew. However I took a lot away from this training including leadership skills and self discipline. Working in a large team and supping colleges in extremely stressful situations, dealing with demanding briefs and working to extremely tight deadlines has prepared me for any future endeavours.
