I am a freelance cameraman editor and produce 3-4 minute videos that range from promotional to educational. I have previously been hired by companies including ITV, V-inspired, ODMTV, Education Resource Trust and Psychic-TV. I understand the process and importance of capturing the essence of a character. My particular camera style is finding the beauty within close-ups with the intention to draw the viewers emotion whilst viewing the video; whether laugh or to cry but essentially to connect with the person they are watching.
My ambition is to become a recognised producer for the British Film industry.
I edit using Avid and Premier; however my preference is Final Cut Pro, because of the extensive range regarding image and sound correction. I have extensive knowledge in Adobe After Effects for post-production titling with kinetic typography and Adobe photoshop, illustrator and In-design for image correction.
I own an industry Canon 5D Mark ii camcorder and Libec tripod and 3x wireless radio microphones. I have a fullclean driving licence and live in Hammersmith, London, which makes traveling around the UK nice and easy!
I hope that I fulfill your proposal criteria,
Thanks for taking the time to read through this!

In addition to Max being easy to deal with, friendly and punctual, he is extremely focused in every aspect of planning, filming and editing and having seen the end result he clearly knows what he is doing. His camera has produced exceptionally high image quality, the colour and aperture being beautifully captured even in low light. His application of camera position & zoom techniques shows off his artistic capabilities. Opting to shoot in ‘hand held’ style was brilliant at producing a dynamic and immersive experience. His unique ability is that he is able to capture all the special moments and is highly creative with his filming. The editing is also of a high professional standard. In short my wife and I are very impressed, Max is clearly very talented who far surpassed our expectations. We would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone! Five Stars!!! - Rupin & Davinia
