As a dedicated practitioner and educator in Film and Media production, my expertise spans a comprehensive range of practical disciplines crucial to contemporary media creation. My specializations include: VFX Acquisition, Creation, and Supervision; Post-Production Editing, Colour Management, and Colour Grading; Camera, Lighting, and D.I.T Supervision; Sound Design and Editing; Animation and Motion Graphics Design; 3D Modelling, Texture Painting, and LOOK Development; Real-time Engine Environment Design; Conceptualisation, Design, and Production Management
My practical work as a media practitioner encompasses a diverse portfolio of notable projects, with some recent examples listed in the Portfolio section of this site. Further details of my practice-based, academic, and theoretical contributions can be found in my Research Outputs.
In addition to my instructional role at the University of Brighton and my professional engagements within the Independent Film and Media sectors, I am committed to disseminating specialized skills and workflows developed through my practice-based work. This endeavor aims to enhance accessibility and inclusivity within these industries by sharing practices and knowledge often difficult to acquire. The dissemination of my expertise takes various forms, including: Guest Talks and Presentations at Film Festivals, Summits, and Industry Conventions; Live Online Presentations and Workshops for Media Practitioners and Educators globally; Video Guides, Articles, and Asset Sharing via this website.
Furthermore, I am dedicated to fostering collaboration among students, staff, and practitioners across Europe and internationally. I believe that the dissemination of practice-based knowledge and information is crucial for empowering young individuals to leverage the emergent opportunities afforded by contemporary digital technologies.
I have actively participated in Europe-wide, collaborative Knowledge Exchange programmes for ERASMUS, OnCREATE, and European Youth Awards, as part of the co_LAB Collaborative Media Laboratory. In this capacity, I have supervised, participated in, and facilitated collaborative projects between students and academics, working alongside colleagues and students from across Europe.
I have also been keen to share both my specialist Media Practice and Pedagogical Practice via international platforms and summits as part of the Adobe Education Leader programme.
