Experience

Creative Director - Mud Pie Productions Ltd - (2022 - Present) Greater Manchester

Working on our current slate of Feature and Short Documentaries with a wider scope of audio and Short Fiction film production.

Freelance Writer - (2015 – Present)  Greater Manchester

1 Feature and 4 pilots completed along with several shorts. See writing page for more info.

Cinematic Designer @ Playground Games - (11/2013 – 02/2015)  Leamington Spa, Warwickshire

This role required the creation of in-game cinematic sequences involving car stunts, prep for FMV work and intro/outro cinematics for every race in the game. This included camera work with motion capture recordings, such as “barn finds”. The role also included some requirement of concept storyboards and previz, though due to time constraints this was passed to our concept art team.

Content Coordinator @ Playground Games - (11/2012 – 10/2013)  Leamington Spa, Warwickshire

This role required photographic research from real-world locations, as specified in the design and art guides and documentation (Amalfi Coast, Provence France, Swiss Alps, and Tuscany). I worked in coordination with the Art Director with regards to the research of the areas, travelled and photographed on real-world locations, and built the Global Asset List. The list is every single object in the game, based on the real-world photographic research which totalled in the high hundreds. This was then compiled into a database for all members of the team, also created by myself.

Car Coordinator @ Playground Games - (11/2011 – 10/2012)  Leamington Spa, Warwickshire

The role of Car Co-Ordinator was multi-faceted and required photographic research from real-world cars, to be sourced from all over the country and in rare cases, the rest of the world (Ferrari HQ was a high watermark). The role also required the ability to model and modify the vehicle assets from outsources and the research and implementation of real-world data. This evolved into work required to utilize realistic interior and exterior vehicle illumination. This was my task and every car light within Forza Horizon 1 are my own creations sourced from our real-world data.

Independent Film Maker @ Creative Wigan - (02/2010 – 09/2011)  Greater Machester

I worked in tandem with a fellow Filmmaker, Scott Davenport and Producers Ray Hanks and Andrew Patrick in the hopes to utilise a business fund from Wigan Council via the production of a documentary and Cinematic project with the help of other local filmmakers to allow the use of a working location for all involved.

Freelance Cameraman (Various Shorts and Features) - (11/2009 – 08/2011) Greater Manchester

I worked as a Cameraman and occasional Set Photographer for small indie features around Lancashire and Merseyside. Most were expenses only and i utilised this time as a way of expanding my experience and as a networking opportunity.
