Bio

I’m a production cameraman - originally trained in studio & OB at Sydney’s ATN7 between 1987-94. I am more than proficient in a considerable variety of operation modes & genres (including steadicam). I think it’s fair to say I am a useful contributor to any production.

I should add that I am 80% through a Masters in Media Practice from the University of Sydney; I do have considerable ability as a writer & researcher.

Also, in the UK I worked as a pre-transmission QC/Ingest operator (converting broadcast assets into digital files & checking their quality), & was subsequently trained in digital asset transmission at Technicolor in West London.
