Read MoreI have a 1st Class Honours degree from London Metropolitan University in Creative Writing and Film Studies, as well as an MA in Film from the Newport Film School in Wales. I started in post and worked my way through companies such as Avalon Television, and ITN Productions before going freelance as a camera operator/editor.These days I tend to describe myself as a London based filmmaker who specialises in crafting personal narratives with a focus on design, architecture and art. I own a complete shooting kit with everything from my two Canon C70s, a selection of lights, sound equipment, gimbal and drone. For post-production I primarily use Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve for editing/grading, but also have extensive experience of Avid Media Composer.I have extremely high standards when it comes to my work as I am incredibly passionate about all aspects of production. As such, I’ve been proud to say that the majority of my work comes through referrals by clients and colleagues alike.
Read LessI worked with Will on creating a series of short films to support the V&A Schools and Colleges programme, aiming to engage students with our design collections during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the filming process Will approached the challenges of filming in the museum, whilst under COVID restrictions with great professionalism, consideration, flexibility, and creativity. Will demonstrated a great understanding for the needs of our target audience (school students and their teachers) and the high-quality standards of the V&A, resulting in beautifully engaging, vibrant and though provoking content. The final films continued to be enjoyed by both our school and general audiences. I would highly recommend working with Will and would like to thank him again for all his fantastic work and support!
