Additional experience as DOP directing aerial shoots both in UK and abroad. Testimonial: Ross Harper - Exec IWCI first worked with Bala Bailey on a challenging, access-led ob doc series. His ability to hear as well as see, to know when to move and when not to, and to always be thinking about the sequence as well as the shots was impressive. In the decade since he has added to those skills and projects I have directed and exec produced have benefited. He is a rare example of someone who can produce quality across ob doc, fact-ent, science and arts. Perhaps Bala’s greatest strength is his commitment. He doesn’t turn up on location and do the hours, he turns up keen to add value to the production, to understand the story so that he offers the best visual way to tell it. He takes direction well but can also be a valuable ally for less experienced directors. He has a big personality – but knows when to help put contributors at their ease and when to operate unseen. A class act.

Listed skills include Film, Camera, Video Production, Hdcam, and 7 others.
