About Me
I am a London-based videographer and graphic designer.
I am a good editor, with advanced skills on Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere and Apple Motion. I also have good flair in graphic design. Indeed I have advanced skills in Photoshop, and currently I am developing skills in all Adobe Creative Suite, including Flash and Dreamweaver.
As a videographer I have produced, scripted, directed and edited several works, such as episodes for the Spanish Online Series \'Denmark Street\' and \'Superheroe Semanal\', both for AOL; also taken part in the screenplay development, direction and edition of Award nominated \'Mummy, I want some more\' (2nd Cyprus Film Festival) and \'Mimesis\' (Portobello Film Festival 2009 Official Selection) and music videos for some independent music artists.
I have my own editing equipment and chroma key production material (including lighting), and I can resource a few more video equipment.
