Cameron Davison Email & Phone Number

Throughout my years of training, from university to working in industry, I have developed numerous different skills in areas such as 2-D animation, 3-D animation, storyboarding and animatic production, video and sound editing, etc. Given my recent work experience, I have not only improved my pre-existing skillset, but also gained experience in producing live action film work.

  21 Media

  Oct 2021 - Apr 2022 - Edge Hill University

  Over the course of the time I worked for 21Media, based at Edge Hill University, as a trainee film maker, I developed skills and experience that has been crucial to me so early in my career. This has allowed me to work on different live-action film projects within Liverpool, such as working on a documentary film, directed by Jessica Hynes, about a group called Dramatic Recovery that helps people express mental health struggles through performative work, such as acting or creative writing. We also worked on a documentary called Hamlet Within, which involved working with actor Ben Turner; the film was screened at the Cannes Film Festival later that year. On these projects I worked as a runner, handling equipment, as well as working as a camera grip, assisting with filming. We also produced a short film called Stillness Rings, which was designed so that it could be projected during a live event at the Reader, in Liverpool, in which author Jacqueline Saphra read excerpts from her book 100 Lockdown Sonnets. The film was later shown at Keswick Film Festival. We produced our own short film project called The Ferryman, during which I got to produce pixilation animation, which involved filming using a Black Magic camera. During my time with this company, I was able to experiment with different film processes I was not familiar with, such as colour grading live-action film footage, as well as practising and improving my existing skills in many different areas such as using Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc. Being able to meet and work with new people, and getting practice with the professional film industry has enriched my existing skills, giving me confidence and experience that I think has helped to temper me as a person working within the creative industries.
