Growing up isnt easy, so I chose not to. I can be mature when needed, but its my immaturirty that truly brings out the creative inside. If in my

late teens I decided to grow up and listen to my elders, I would probably be working in a factory. I always appreciatted everyones views and

feelings but would always utilise others doubt to power my determination to prove them wrong.

At the age of 18 I left home being told I was never smart enough to excel, just because how childish I was. 7 years later and I have a degree, 2 years

of industry experience as well as an incredible group of friends and some awesome memories that will stay with me for life.

This portfolio should take you through a journey of some of my

expereince as a video creative to date, including work from in-house to an award winning blog and short film to a music video.

DESIGN & MARKETING OFFICER2016 - 2017

GEOLANG

My first task at GeoLang was to design and develop a new website for the company. Even though I had no experience in this field I took it upon myself to learn how to write basic HTML, CSS and PHP. Due to time restraints I looked into developing the new company website using a CMS ”Wordpress) so it would be editable by anyone with or without web design/ developing skills. I optimised this so it was effective across devices and rated high against the Google Insights test. I then continued to manage and conduct SEO practices across the site. Working with another designer I was also required to come up with creative campaigns to implement acoss the social channels that would advertsise the product and also provide a face for the company. I created a couple of videos including some animation with the help of a designer who would produce the assets.

GeoLang is a cyber security software startup specialisng in protecting data across a variety of platforms.

CAMPAIGN MANAGER & SOUND SUPERVISOR2016

FORTRESS

Fortress is a short film drama set in the 60’s following a family as they turn there once pirate radio station into a country. After the intial development of the script it was my task to run a crowdfunding campaign to raise 1.5k budget. I exceeded the traget and raised over 2.2k for the film by creating a 30 day campaign across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter which built an online hype for the film. This included a variety of photos and videos each giving away more behind the scenes of the production. My secondary role was supervising all sound on the project including location sound recording and post production sound mixing which was suitable for cinema showcase. Location sound recording proved to be challenghing when at the main location as there was a storm across the days which made the recordings unusable. However, I managed to use creative ambient noises to help mix a post production lip sync so it sounded natural.

Fortress is a 6x award winning short film produced by students as part of thier final major project which was screened at Cineworld Newport.

IMPRINTS - GALLOWS OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

I was approached by Imprints to film a music video for their latest single release of Gallows . They didn’t have an idea of what they wanted and challenged me to create a video that wasn’t too serious and showed their fun side whilst still looking slick . After mulling around with a load of ideas from having kid versions of them to a somalian pirate lost, I aproached them with the idea of using a bath tub as a portal. The story would then take the band to multiple locations until the final scene where they arrived at Colston Hall to perform their gig. Filming took one day and it was edited and published within two weeks. I also created bonus specialist videos for them to use on their Instagram story to generate more interest.

Imprints are a folk, shanty, gypsy, rock band based in Bristol.
