About me

I have extensive directing, shooting and editing experience both in the US and Europe, where I have worked for both television and the web. My project list include music videos for Napster, a feature-length documentary for HBO, and several animated shorts for Warner Brothers and Toyota.

Recent clients include TVL, where I shot and edited hundreds of hours of news programming for a Tuscan tv network. I have also been editing and animating a series of short films called "The Lexicon Of Sustainability: Food and Farming in America" (2012) for US broadcaster PBS.

I recently moved to England with my wife and live close to Bristol but I'm willing to move to London if the right work opportunity opens. I like to work with creative people and tackle challenging projects.

I am an experienced Final Cut Pro 7 editor and I also have extensive experience doing animation using Adobe After Effects.

I am a professional camera operator and have been shooting using a variety of video cameras, including Sony EX3, Sony Z7, Canon HL1 and Canon HL2, Sony PD-170 to the most recent HDSLR like Canon 5D, 7D and 550D. I have profound knowledge of lenses, aperture, depth of field and captured and edited both tape and tapeless format media.

I have experience directing a crew in TV ads and documentaries, but also can be an excellent self shooter for interviews, b-rolls etc... I can record audio and set up lights.

I love to render challenging concepts available to the public and enjoyable on the screen.

I have high experience in capturing, archiving, organising, managing, editing, colour correcting and compressing videos.
