I’m a Series Producer/Senior Producer with experience of developing, producing and edit producing Broadcast and Branded Content programs/projects. Throughout my career I have worked on a range of genres and have the experience of being employed in variety of editorial roles. This experience I can draw upon when Series Producing a series.
In TV Broadcast, my career to date has forked into three paths: Game/Task Producer, Edit/Story Producer and Development Producer. All of which come together when Series Producing a show.
Games/Task/Quiz: I started my TV career producing games, tasks and quizzes. I am an ideas person, that has developed new quiz ideas from scratch. And then taken them from the initial development stages right through to the final edit. I am proud of a large range of tasks and challenges I have brought to TV screens. And I have the skills to make that idea or show a reality. I have produced a wide range of tasks from epic stunts challenges, to brain busting puzzles, to live song and dance numbers, to fun reality-based shows and more. Examples of these are I'm a Celeb South Africa for ITV, Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway for ITV, The Apprentice for BBC, The Courtship for NBC Universal, Dara O'Briain's Family Brain Games for BBC2, Britain's Best Junior Doctors hosted by Jo Brand for BBC2, A Right Royal Quiz hosted by Fern Britton for ITV, Red or Black for ITV, Text Santa for ITV, King of the Nerds for Sky One.
Edit/Story: I have edit produced a number of reality and entertainment series including I'm A Celeb South Africa, Dara O'Briain's Family Brain Games for BBC2, Britain's Best Junior Doctors for BBC2, A Right Royal Quiz. Going from the entertainment end of the spectrum to the factual end. I have edit produced a number of blue light and access documentaries. These are high story turn over shows where I have to scour the rushes to find the gold amongst them. Then through narration and/or interview make the story understandable, dramatic and engaging. Examples are The Force:Essex and The Force:North East for Sky One, Traffic Cops for Channel 5, Sewermen for Channel 5.
Development: And from the ends of a show to the beginning. Through my career I have flipped between production and development. I am usually brought in to turn a topline into a working proof of concept, pilot, sizzle or run thru. But over the years have been embedded in a number of development teams where I have run brainstorms, produced snazzy pitch documents and pitched to commissioners. Notable credits have been I'm a Celeb South Africa. In this role I developed the new I'm A Celeb format, trials and challenges, went on to producing on location and edit producing the series. Taking a beloved series, giving it a new twist and seeing it through from start to finish was a real honour. I was also brought in to develop the iconic and memerable, 20th and last (so far) series of Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
As the way audiences comsume media has changed I have also made inroads in branded content and sports presentation. Both of which are growing areas outside of broadcast TV.
Over the last 6 months I produced branded content for Primark's social media channels. This involved producing the creative and running the project from developed to the shoot. The successful shoot launched the Grinch range in Primark and was viewed millions of times.
I have also produced Live Sports Presentation events for capacity stadum audiences for the PFL & Bellator Mixed Martial Arts Leagues. These events involved me travelling to Riyadh, Paris and Belfast and running the live stadium entertainment. The skills required to create this live entertainment were live gallery producing, talent producing, creating scripts, running orders, managing graphics and music elements as well as being able to produce shows in different languages.
I feel I have a full and varied career showing I can throw my hand to most things and will be an asset to any team.
