Experience
-
Filmmaking student
I started by 3rd year as a BA student at UWS in september. I worked on producing skills, film development (as a script editor and researcher), screen adaptation (I wrote an adaptation of a short story by Stuart McBride). I am now working as sound designer and recordist on one project and camera operator on another. I am also learning how to create a 6-part TV drama. Graduation (BA hnrs) planned in 2026.

Film / TV student
I learned most aspects of film and TV industries. I wrote, produced, directed and edited three projects during my first year, and wrote, directed and edited my end of year project, and edited and worked on lighting on other projects. I also did three music videos for local bands. I created NOISY BENCH as a portfolio to showcase my HND films and other projects.

Videographer
I produced, directed and edited Deadfire's music video for their single "B.M.F.". It was shot with a Sony FX6 (with a 18-55mm and a 8mm lenses) , using Rotolights for lighting. I edited on Adobe Premiere Pro and did the Breaking Bad style title on AfterEffects. One Sunday we filmed at Musical Vision (Aberdeen), the following Sunday we shot under a bridge and at the Cellar (Rosemount, Aberdeen). The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1zEhak9oY8

Videographer
I shot and edited CoverFucker's music video for their song "Aberdrink". It was shot live at Krakatoa, Aberdeen, on Friday 20/10/2023. I was in the crowd with a GoPro Hero11 in my hand, and took various shots, normal, fisheye, slomo, etc. The footage of the band mainly come from Ruby who was roaming with a phone, and Matthew, who was taking care of the multicam upstairs. Shots of the crowd, bar, etc. come from the GoPro. I was given all footage and the band and I sat and discussed which bits to include. I then edited the video on Adobe Premiere Pro and did the title on AfterEffects. The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsMnekXMvuY
