About Me


It has always been a passion of mine to create videos and short film. I graduated from University (with a 2:1 in Film and Screen Practice) and have since been working with a few different people on different projects whilst directing short films, composing music and creating a little art work. One thing I will say for myself is that I always want to push the bar, and try something different. How do you know it impossible, untill you’ve tried?

I enjoy editing, directing, every aspect of production with varied level of experience in all. I’m a fast learner, intuitive, and reliable and can crack on with whatever’s thrown at me. Had experience with Cameras such as the JVC GY-HD100 and the Sony Z1, Sound Equipment, Lighting, and in terms of editing am confident on Premier, Final Cut with experience on Flash, Photoshop and currently learning After Effects.

I’ve been part of a small production company for the past two years making short musical film using dance as a way of conveying narrative. As a team we also hold an Annual Charity Showcase for various charities presenting dance, music, films, and theatrical performances. 2011 is set to be a great year for us with a music video and drama short already in pre-production.

I’d say i was still finding my feet and my style, but whatever the outcome of any project I’m always proud, and having a hell of a time doing it. I’m always on the look out for the next project, and enjoy working with anyone who shares the passion, so if you have any projects, or are interested in mine, please contact me.

 

 

“Steve is an incredibly dedicated and hardworking person who always puts 100% into any project he is working on. His creative skills make him a joy to be around and also inspire the creativity in others to come through. He also knows how to take charge of a team but does it in a way where everyone is equal and respectful of each other and their own role within the team, however he is also able to take a back seat and learn from the instruction of others. I would recommend working with Steve to anyone and feel he would be a real asset to anyones team.”

“I first worked with Steve in his final film project at University. The initial idea for the project stood out which is why I wanted to be involved. Being a newly graduated actress I was only really looking for showreel material but Steves organisation and professionalism led us to have common interests and stay in contact after he graduated. Steve has helped me with several projects over the last 3 years and has become a great friend on both a personal and professional level. He is great with ideas and setting them out, he is extremely creative and a good leader but he equally has the team skills to take direction and help without any questions when needed. Steve seems to have no end to his skills including, writing, editing, directing using the camera and even beating me on the singstar challenge. I would recommend Steve to any professional in the industry and although his passion is Directing/editing he is wonderfully versatile and reliable.”
