Glen Warrillow | Lighting Camera Operator, Cinematographer, Videographer, Director of Photography

My passion for cinematography and film making is in my blood, ingrained in me since childhood. From Super 8 film, 16mm film to 35mm film. Completing an MA in cinematography at the Polish National Film School. The transition from film to digital was simple for me with so much more latitude to work with and monitors to see my work ‘live’ instead of waiting for rushes to come back from the lab. I have shot many award winning productions throughout my career going back as far as when I was in my first year at film school. I evolved through drama and feature films so my knowledge and experience of lighting is vast, from intimate single source lighting, to huge set ups lighting swimming pools, churches and big night exteriors. I have worked within most genres and have extensive experience within Documentary, Commercials, On-line branded content, Promos, Reality TV, Corporate, Live Outside Broadcast & Multi Cam shoots. I have lit and shot numerous interviews of A-List talent such as Penelope Cruz, Michael Caine, Jennifer Lopez, Giselle and Naomi Campbell as well as Corporate big wigs. I’ve worked for BBC, Channel 4, ITV, National Geographic, NBC, Rai Uno and have worked for brands such as Nike, Guinness, Pirelli, Ford, Islamic Relief, Virgin, Danone and Waitrose. I’m told I have a laid back aura and work well under stressful conditions which helps keep the client at ease behind and in front of the camera. I’ve worked to extremely punishing schedules, at speed and have shot a feature film within a 6 day period, often lighting multiple sets at once. The meticulous and clinical pre production required for a challenge of this nature is immense and something that I bring to every production (including how we are going to get the kit in the building on a damn red route in Central London!) Time is money on a shoot so this process cannot be compromised and it allows for more breathing space on set to allow creativity and improvisation to flow on set. I own a Sony FX6, Sony PMW300, Canon EOS R and extensive lighting equipment. I can also provide other camera kits. My ingrained passion for film making ensures that you get maximum production value and work ethic out of me because for me it is not a job, it is a vocation.
