Videographer and Independent Filmmaker

Moving Images is a visual narrative with its own language and rules. The nature of this form of story telling can be highly technical and challenging but highly rewarding. Being involved in video production from U-matic analog recording to the current HD digital format gives me insight into the medium's technical challenges, strengths and progression. Videographers are distinguished from cinematographers in that they manage smaller scale productions and work with video instead of film.

The advent of digital cinematography, has blurred this distinction and electronic cameras are becoming more common on big movie productions. All tough I enjoy to work in large production team environments I'm more drawn to the intimacy and hands on experience that documentary style of filmmaking offers. As a Videographer you have to be a Jack of all trades and be involved with every part of the process instead of being a individualised specialist. As the demand for visual content increase, and with buzz about "TV Everywhere" makes this a very exiting place to be in the future.

I have worked in Broadcast, Documentaries, Corporate Promotional Videos, Training & Demonstration Videos, Commercials, Music Videos and websites. Having been a Media Specialist at the University of South Africa, I have years of experience in the development of study material for the tertiary teaching and learning environment. As a freelance operator I've worked in the film industry producing EPK and behind the scene material for various International Films.
