Crafting hundreds of videos and infographics to aid 70-20-10 development. Specialising in animated explainer videos and hybrid videos that blend live action and motion graphics. Covering topics from money laundering and modern slavery to soft skills for leaders and frontline staff.I produce videos to help win pitches, explain concepts, teach and inspire. Also live event filming for either future promo or to add to a library of longer form real-time talks/panels.Happy working as part established production units and agencies or more often, taking the lead for corporate teams and L&D companies who have little, or sometimes no prior experience of creating video/audio for their businesses.I've worked alongside teams in Indonesia, Canada, US, France and Hong Kong to produce content. And yet I do it all mostly within a 3 mile radius of our kids' school so that I can be there at either end of the day. Which means I don't actually fly to many of those places, despite a love of Toblerone. Show less
