About
After a few years as a secondary French teacher, I went into supply, which allows me to learn film-making at uni. I now want to develop a career in the screen industries. I am into screenwriting, camera operating and directing, but any aspect of film/tv is interesting to me as I love understanding how things are made.

Videographer
I produced, directed and edited Deadfire's music video for their single "B.M.F.". It was shot with a Sony FX6 (with a 18-55mm and a 8mm lenses) , using Rotolights for lighting. I edited on Adobe Premiere Pro and did the Breaking Bad style title on AfterEffects. One Sunday we filmed at Musical Vision (Aberdeen), the following Sunday we shot under a bridge and at the Cellar (Rosemount, Aberdeen). The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1zEhak9oY8

Videographer
I shot and edited CoverFucker's music video for their song "Aberdrink". It was shot live at Krakatoa, Aberdeen, on Friday 20/10/2023. I was in the crowd with a GoPro Hero11 in my hand, and took various shots, normal, fisheye, slomo, etc. The footage of the band mainly come from Ruby who was roaming with a phone, and Matthew, who was taking care of the multicam upstairs. Shots of the crowd, bar, etc. come from the GoPro. I was given all footage and the band and I sat and discussed which bits to include. I then edited the video on Adobe Premiere Pro and did the title on AfterEffects. The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsMnekXMvuY

I shot Deadfire's video for their single "Pro[Pain]". It was a one evening shot at Drummond's, Aberdeen. I used a Panasonic Lumix with a Gimbal. A few Rotolights to get better lighting. Deadfire did the edit. The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlEXGFBmB-E
