Life after Cyfle

Well it's been a busy time since leaving Cyfle in July to work with Boomerang as a Camera Assistant on a Drama for S4C called 'Teulu'.  This was a great job, not only were the crew brilliant to work with but we got to spend a few weeks of the summer in sunny Aberaeron in West Wales to boot.

I then went on to work for Aden Productions as a researcher/camera assistant on a HD wildlife series for S4C called 'Bywyd'. This was amazing as we spent most of the time out in a hide looking for Otters, filming on infra red cameras through the night. When it wasn't otters I got the opportunity to use the 750 HD camera to film Dolphins for three days of a boat in West Wales, as well as helping Steve the series cameraman with the pole cam. I have also been doing some filming for the making of programme. 

I've had a quiet time over Christmas (I guess I'll have to get used to the freelance business!) so I've been busy trying to get my life in order and everything up to date, I've got a new iMac and Final Cut Studio to get my teeth into as well as try to get my own web site up and running!

In January and February I worked as a Camera Assistant with Huw Walters for JM Creative on the promo's for the 6 Nations Rugby, a promo for 'Codi Canu' and we are currently working on a Documentary for Indus  'On Show' on War Photographers. 

I have a drama lined up in March with Boomerang with Dylan Wyn Williams as DOP, I will be Camera Assisting and trying my hand at a bit of Focus Pulling so can't wait! 

After that who knows! :-(
