About me

Hello,

My name is Dan and i'm a recent (2010) Graduate of Manchester Met University studying Multimedia with Special effects. I am still based in Manchester but do have the freedom to travel/move around the country if necessary.

I'm currently having to do bar-work to keep my income flowing enough to pay the bills, so am desperately in search of something actually career relevant to get my head into!

I am a very keen enthusiastic person with a wide range of skills primarily in the production and post-production stages of video creation.

Production experience-

Lots of on-set experience working for a local Special effects company. I've helped on productions for organisations such as 3 Mobile, CSL sofas, Co-op, McDonalds, with high production values. I've also worked on more TV series style productions such as a 2 week long Hollyoaks job (Lime Pictures), a Coronation Street DVD special, Coronation street, and more.

Post Experience-

This category is where i feel im best at and more at home. I have lots of experience using Adobe After Effects CS3 and above, as well as AutoDesk Maya (and compositing the two). I also have experience using the following applications:

AutoDesk MotionBuilder

Mental Ray

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Premier pro

Sony Vegas Pro 10

Entire Microsoft office package

Vicon Boujou and Pixel Farm's PFTrack (3D motion tracking applications)

I am very keen in gaining more experience in the Post production field, however I would be more than happy to consider going for other jobs relevant to the media too.

Based on my post production experience i am currently getting fairly frequent freelance work for businesses and projects based in Manchester. Some paid, some unpaid. I just want to gain the experience really!

Feel Free to get in touch for whatever reason...hopefully a job invite!
