1st AC and Clapper Loader
1st AC on the GRAD II production of ‘HALLOWED EARTH’ directed by Allie Quinn and DOP by Cole Oakley. This short was made as apart of our final year film of university, making sure that we shot this short as professional as possible and using industry standard kit. For this production we travelled up to a small village 20 miles outside of Swindon to shoot over a course of a week and one day in Bristol. I was able to work very close to the camera to help rig and de rig, slate, set up camera and lighting. This film stars Nicolaus Lumley (known for his roles in “Paddington 2” and Channel 4’s “Screwed”) and was shot using the Red Helium Camera

This film was later screened at a local screening in Bristol for Bristol Collaborative arts.
2nd AC / Clapper Loader
2nd AC (Daily) for the GRAD II production of ‘Serendipity’ a final university short film directed by Evie Teller and Jade Birchall, and DOP work by Lucy Wallis. I was able to communicate effectively with both the DOP and the 1st AC to focus, frame and set up each shot. For the day I was on set we were shooting in the Galleries in Bedminster in a small book shot that was standing in for a library.
Art assistant / 1st AC
Art assistant and 1st AC on the GRAD II production of ‘Sweet escape’ another university final film directed by Katie Boyes and DOP work by Sam Offer.
