SOFTWARE

Having been working in digital video since 2000, I have utilised most types of video software in one form or another, from editing, through animation and effects, to compression and authoring for final delivery. I have always been employed primarily for After Effects, but taken responsibility for the whole production process, ensuring it is not only designed well, but delivered to required formats and standards.
