Previous Work Examples
Press junket day in London with Florence Pugh ushered from one room to another giving interviews about her new film. Time is very limited as usual, being prepared is key as it's hard to predict when the star will make an appearance.

Lewis Hamilton touring UTP in Malaysia. This multi camera shoot of the event required blocking thoroughly ahead of time and I ensured all participants on camera wore a microphone. There wasn't going to be any second re-takes and it was important that filming kept discreet, so as not to disrupt the flow of the tour.

Understanding Autism is a feature length Documentary broadcast on PBS, in the USA. I was hired as the UK Sound Recordist responsible for capturing clean audio in a variety of locations.

The Oil Machine is a feature length documentary initially broadcast on BBC Scotland. The interviews I recorded sound for included Professor Sir David King at Cambridge University. The room wasn't ideal for sound recording as it had too much reverb, but with a closely hidden lapel mic, we managed the situation.
