More about me: I work mostly alone at the moment :( I like to keep things simple and enjoy simple ideas. I am currently trying to do all sorts of things, experimenting with different techniques and stuff. I've done Music Videos, Live Music Videos, 1 Doco, some Mockumentary stuff, a horror/scifi, a drama and lots of video edits. Learning along the way! I work for the Cambridgeshire Film Consortium, doing technical assisting editing and stuff. I have helped out on many film projects locally, please ask me if you have a project you'd like me to help out on.
