MY SERVICES
Did I mention that I cut, comp & colour?
I craft compelling stories and communications while deftly balancing technical intricacies and efficiencies of workflow. Working closely with directors, creatives and direct-to-client I offer creative insight, support and peace of mind. Most of my work is based in advertising and takes the form of:
- TV & Cinema Commercials
- Branded Content & Digital Advertising
- eLearning & Online Training
- OOH (Out of Home) Advertising
- Corporate Communications
This is where the magic happens! Using After Effects and the rest of Adobe’s suite of design tools I can offer:
- Compositing, retouching & finishing
- Motion/planar tracking
- Green screen keying & replacement
- Rotoscoping
- VFX design & integration
Working primarily within Adobe’s ecosystem I offer high-end on-the-fly colour grading directly on the edit timeline, avoiding fiddly round-trip exports to third party tools. Yes, Resolve is awesome, but don’t dismiss the efficiencies gained by pushing Lumetri to its limit and staying within the edit.
My foundational education was in design and multimedia, so I always relish the opportunity to work within this space. I bring typography and illustration to life in the following ways:
- Animated titles and supers
- Explainer videos (explanimation)
- 2D character design & animation
- Detailed product demonstrations
- Animatics & pre-visualisation
As a post supervisor I’ve led edit teams on pressure-cooker postings through late nights loaded with pizza, coffee and kips between renders. As a post producer I’ve learnt to spin plates, herd cats, and wield a spreadsheet like a surgical instrument.
Clients appreciate my level-headed, straight-talking nature while creatives feel supported by the experience, instruments and personnel I can provide to help fulfil their creative vision.
I’m also happy to take care of backend tasks such as:
- TV classification via ClearAds and CAB NZ.
- QA & technical checks
- Broadcast despatch via Adstream or Peach
- Output to multiple Broadcast & online formats / standards
- Subtitling and captions
