I'm offering
I'm a highly-creative super-skilled and driven moving-image professional with over 20 years experience as a hands-on creative in video and design-based media. Adaptable, agile, creative, and digitally savvy, I make blockbuster multi-platform video content for web-based media, social media, breaking news channels, digital advertising/signage and broadcast TV. As a problem solver, team player and a 'go to' person I am hands on from conception to delivery. I can handle multiple edits or / projects to tight deadlines and budgets, as well as managing external contractors and internal production teams. Technically, I am extremely able with a very broad digital skill set in video production, editing and motion graphics. I have an excellent working knowledge of software including: Adobe Creative Suite, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Final Cut Pro. I'm confident, persuasive, sensitive and polite and I'm happy dealing with everyone from senior management to on-screen talent. I lean on my background in art and creative direction to create standout work across stills as well as video - whether commercial, artistic or news-based. I create stunning imagery and motion graphics to enhance content, presentations for executives and marketing collateral.,

VIDEO PRODUCTION MANAGER / SENIOR PRODUCER - SPECIAL PROJECTS
VIDEO DEPT.
News UK - The Sun - LONDON - (UK's No 1 tabloid newspaper and No1 News Site)
I helped The Sun become The No1 news website in the UK by producing standout video content across news, features and viral video production.
MULTI-PLATFORM: Web, apps and social including YouTube, Facebook, Apple News, Snapchat and Instagram.
VIDEO: Sourcing, shooting, verifying, clearing, editing, outputting and archiving.

Content ranged from breaking news video packages, features content and celebrity interviews to marketing material,
advertising and sizzle reels for senior executives.
For example, one day I would be shooting and editing Fabulous magazine video content for web and social. The next I could
be sourcing great new content that would appear both online, but it would also get used in the print newspaper.
I've trained reporters, set up stringent workflows and managed teams but I am always a hands-on
producer/videographer/editor creating great content for huge brands.
I worked to tight deadlines, legal restrictions and IPSO guidelines to produce engaging content that lead to the meteoric rise of The Sun website in recent years.
