Read MoreA highly experienced Producer/ Director with a background in both Broadcast and Corporate Production with specialist sports experienceI'm a highly experienced Producer/ Director with a background in both Broadcast Sports Production and Branded Content. I work in both live and pre-recorded environments having produced weekly pre-recorded Sports Magazine and Highlight shows for Channel 4, ITV, BT Sport, and Sky as well as producing and directing live Motorsport and European football for BT Sport. I also produce regular live studio webcasts for the Broadcast PR Agency Markettiers4DCI am technically literate, with an excellent knowledge of the tools and techniques of digital production and post production. I am able to shoot when necessary; and am a competent editor, proficient on Final Cut Pro, and able to perform basic edits on Avid.Whether working on small productions or with large crews and budgets, I believe that my mix of creative and technical skills enable me to make the best of resources, whilst my experience makes me a calm clear thinker under pressure.As well as being highly organised, I consider myself a creative and original thinker, and have developed and written scripts for everything, from long form documentaries to concise web films, and all points in between.I have excellent interpersonal skills; my broad based production experience makes me confident with crews and talent alike, and having worked for some of the UKs largest corporations, I can client face at the highest levels. I pride myself on my ability to exceed Client expectations and always bring my projects in within budget
Read LessI worked with Ashley on a very demanding ob-doc on the Qatari fire service: time was short, access was critical, and the situation could not have been more delicate, as the service had suffered its worst disaster in living memory the day we we commenced filming... Ashley's experience, patience and creativity was a great asset during a very fraught production. He was calm, organised and unflappable, despite pressure form numerous directions! I hope to work with Ash again, as he's a great guy to have on the team.
