| Work History | Method magazine Method Media - Method is a snowboard magazine based in Austria that also came with a DVD (the DVD has now been replaced by a web TV channel). Methodmedia is the umbrella that all of there organisations work under. Methodmedia works with other TV companies and brands to make TV shows. I have worked for Method as a freelancer since May 2004. In that time I have worked on eight issues of the DVD magazine, 2 episodes (30min with credits) of the Billabong Junior Pro for Eurosport, XBOX Big Day Out for Methods new online TV channel www.method.tv, Girlie Camp for Eurosport amongst other jobs within the magazine. Reference: Drew Stevenson, Creative Director, drew@ttrworldtour.com Nikita Clothing Two years ago R.P. Productions approached Nikita clothing with a new idea of making a motion catalogue on a DVD. The DVD could be used by distributors at trade shows or alternatively directly by the consumer. Nikita embraced the idea and we have worked with them twice a year for the past two years on their photo shoots in Iceland, San Francisco and the South of France. We film, edit and author the product start to finish. Reference: Runar Omarson, Managing Director, runar@nikitaclothing.com Burton Snowboards Burton Snowboards are the largest snowboard brand in the world. In the summer they bring their international snowboard team to a resort in the Alps for the Burton summer camp. The week consists of photo shoots and interviews on the glaciers for the worldwide media to promote Burton Snowboards. I was invited by Burton to cover the event and edit a short program for them to show at their summer sales meeting. Reference: Birgit Gruber, PR Manager Europe, BirgitG@burton.at |

| Aspirations | My work has mainly focused on snowboarding to date, and over the past few years I have developed my own individual style within my editing. I’m now looking to expand my scope on the industry and move into new areas. I would like to explore new genres such as music videos, advertising, and documentary, but most importantly I would like to bring my skills to new and challenging projects. The company that I would like to work with will push my existing skills and develop new innovative techniques. I’m currently working on a freelance basis, but I would be happy to work on a full time contract. |
|
| Interests | Snowboarding and the lifestyle it brings has been the biggest part of my life since I was thirteen, it has taken me to places such as China, America, Iceland and all over Europe. Snowboarding hasn’t only been a past time it has also provided me with a career for the past five years, in that time I have lived in the French Alps for four years and worked within the snowboard media. My other interests are photography, skateboarding, surfing and playing drums. |
