Fenwick / Vivid - ‘CHRISTMAS WINDOW REVEAL 2025’

CAMERA OPERATOR

I operated camera 2. My main task was to shoot the MC and all other performers on stage, with constantly varying wide and mid shots, and to capture the window and crowd during and after the reveal. After watching a rehearsal we were briefed, and then rigged the cameras and then waited for the crowds to enter the cordoned off area of the shopping street and the MC to open the show.

’Bloomberg - 'ESG House Conference, Cannes'

STREAMING PRODUCTION LEAD & LIVE-U OPERATOR

I provided Live-U streaming equipment and operation for a 5-day multi-camera shoot of a conference in the grounds of a villa in Cannes, France, so the production team stateside could tx the event to their worldwide network audience. I flew in and went straight to the villa to set up and check everything was working properly, which, as the camera crews were also setting up, took several hours, but by bedtime, all was set, tested, and working. The next day, day 1 of 4, went without a hitch, as did all subsequent days. I was asked to stream an additional session on the morning of my early afternoon flight home, which I did, and after a stressful wait for my Uber, I was the last person allowed on my flight home. All told, a great success.
