About

profile, experience, key skills, and things people have said...

I am a freelance cameraman, director of photography, and editor for documentary, news, interview and corporate assignments, with award-winning documentary work and experience in developing original TV / online content. My freelance assignments have included work for BBC World News, National Geographic Channel, Al Arabiya News Channel, The British Consulate of Hong Kong, The Motion Picture Association, FTV Future TeleVision, and AVH Live (a division of Ogilvy). “Adventure Under Sail”, a documentary profile of ocean adventurer Marc Cuthbert, won First Prize at the 2005 Beijing International Student Film Festival.

In addition, I have significant experience in post-production and editing. I am highly proficient in Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and all major applications, systems, codecs and protocols required in modern digital post-production workflows.

I am also an experienced web designer and developer with an extensive portfolio across all aspects of online and web-based media, including brand design, user interface development, content management systems, and iPad app interface design. I’m fully conversant with the latest CSS, XHTML and emerging HTML 5 standards, and enjoy designing sharp, clear websites that emphasise usability and content-focussed interactivity.

I dabble in photography, and some of my experimental media art has been seen in a number of exhibitions, including the Microwave International Media Arts Festival. I hold an MFA in Media Design and Technology from the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.

I work in

I work as a freelance cameraman and editor for documentary, interview and corporate assignments. I've won awards for my documentary work, and I have also co-developed original content as part of Chickenfish.TV. I've amassed a wealth of editing and post-production experience, and I can work in both Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro.
I specialise in crisp, clear, standards-based websites that are easy to navigate, have a strong brand presence, with easy-to-access content and intuitive user experience. I develop most of my sites on ExpressionEngine, a powerful, flexible web publishing platform that allows clients to maintain and update sophisticated websites easily and painlessly.
Along with a passion for film and moving image, I also enjoy exploring the power of the still image. One key area for me right now is timelapse photography, a curious half-medium somewhere between film and photography that plays with our notions of time.
I've developed a number of corporate identities and brand systems in the past, having run my own graphic design company, and worked for a regional corporate identity agency. These days, logo design has become something of a commodity: most clients consider it something you can just buy online, so I don't do much identity work now. You'll find a few of my past logo and brand designs in the Photo, Media Art portfolio area.
