My role was to operate and focus one of the main cameras, positioned on the famous Street while four famous faces from the programme battled against each other to win the show.

Camera Operator

Opera North's Fidelio Livestream

Broadcast LIVE from Leeds Town Hall, Beethoven's Fidelio was performed by the mind-blowing talent of Opera North. Filmed on Sony 3500s, I operated one of 6 cameras while following a shooting script with shots called by the script supervisor and cut live by BAFTA award-winning Director Peter Maniura.

​

The event was streamed to the Opera North's ON DEMAND website due to the lack of live audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Camera Operator

ITV Coronation Street - Ep #9845

Although usually a camera assistant on ITV Coronation Street, I was given an incredible opportunity to operate for the nations' favourite soap for one scene.

​

Only having gained the trust as a worthy, capable, enthusiastic member of the camera department for 3 years was I able to shine on camera. Operated on a studio pedestal in the Speed Daal set, I was praised for my competency and professionalism after the scene.

A set of two adverts shot in a hired supermarket within 4 hours including re-dressing of the aisles and lighting. For efficiency, I lit the environment flat with Kino Flos. I shot the supermarket sections with a Sony FS7 under the direction of the Producer's storyboard. Creative input was welcome. Broadcast prime time on ITV.
