Skills
With my many years of editing experience (using all editing platforms - Avid, Final Cut Pro, Media 100 etc.) I have a strong sense of narrative and an understanding
of what makes a good story. I have also been trained to be a multi-skilled technician. My three year camera apprenticeship and further experiences taught me all
aspects of filming from lighting basic interviews to special effects shots on blue-screen. I’m comfortable using all types of video camera from lipstick cams to state of
the art Sony F900 HDCAMS. My passion for writing has been utilised in many different forms and I have written for many different publishers, including Future
Publishing, Highbury Paragon and CMP Information. I also have an understanding of computer graphics and can use applications like After Effects and Photoshop. I
have a strong interest in modern history and I have an in-depth knowledge of most wars of the 20th Century, and also the weapons and technology used in them.
