I am a self-employed filmmaker, editor and animator, working for a variety of organisations and private companies. I produce factual films with an informative or educational angle.

I have created films for research agencies, councils and specialist centres, to demonstrate projects they have run and highlight their successes.

With all my projects, I aim to capture a process or event, in a well-shot and informative way.

I was commissioned by QA Research to make a short evaluation film to illustrate findings from their evaluation of 'Work Related Learning' projects run by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. For this, I filmed at three different schools, interviewing students about the courses they were on, and also while they did practical elements of the courses.

(Filmmaker, editor, producer)

Biomation is an award winning science and arts project funded by the Wellcome Trust and run through York NHS and City of York Council. This film was made by a group of young people aged 11 – 14, four of whom have Diabetes, and four of their friends who do not, to explore the condition. They came up with the idea, then scripted it, created characters, animated and recorded audio for the film. It covers the areas of Blood sugar tests, Insulin injections and Hypos, and will be used to inform newly diagnosed young people by the hospital clinicians.

In their own words, it shows the difficulties they encounter and successes they achieve and also highlights the particular challenges they face due to their hearing loss. There is also a short animation about road safety.

I filmed, edited and authored a training DVD and CD resource detailing how to carry out the Comet Assay procedure for the Department of Nutrition at the University of Oslo. It was shot in Norway, carefully covering the eight different stages in a way that is easy to follow for training purposes. I authored a DVD with supporting materials on a CD.
