PAST  PRESENT  FUTURE

I originally trained as an engineer but soon got bored with that.
Playing in a band and running a recording studio followed until
I moved into video post production and then special effects which is where I have focused since.

I have worked as a freelancer creating  motion graphics and video projects for clients for over 20 years.
Editing everything from documentaries to pop video's, compositing simple pip shots to 300 layer graphics compositions.
Clients include broadcasters, film, advertisers, production houses and corporate's in fact anyone who needs motion graphics and video post production.
Having a background in audio, video and special effects helps a lot when working on motion graphics projects.

Delivering creative, attention grabbing 2D / 3D promotional and animated videos for our clients across Europe is our job. Our video production projects include whiteboard, explainer and infographic videos, client testimonials, training videos, broadcast commercials, film titles, TV idents, logo stings, bumpers and YouTube intros and graphics.

Animation and Video Specialist
I specialise on Adobe After Effects, Apple Motion & Cinema4D  for animation with Adobe Premiere Pro & Apple Final Cut Pro for video. I  have presented hands on seminars and software demonstrations for training companies around Europe for over 15 years, these have included IBC, BVE and Computer Arts.

AUTHOR
The author of 6 successful training videos, After Effects levels 1 & 2, Final Cut Pro levels 1,2 & 3 and Apple Motion level 1. These were initially broadcast on Sky on the channel propellerTV and also released on DVD's / online. I also edited a lot of the titles which numbered over 40 and they are still used in lots of places around the world as an introduction to the applications.

Trainer

I have provided scheduled and bespoke training for numerous companies and individuals over the years.
I have been certified as an Apple Certified Trainer (ACT) and an
Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) for many years.

This keeps me up to date of new products, techniques and features.
