I was Australia's first professional VJ (Aug 1996) and have subsequently worked in 30 countries for many major world broadcasters. My work, filmed/written/edited/presented has been bought by many of the world's major broadcasters, including CNN (Inside Europe & Africa); BBC World, APTN, TV Globo, Asahi, TVNZ, Dubai TV, SABC, all Australian broadcasters and many more. I make short-form and long-form films, and have been recognised in Australian awards for my filming (as well as my journalism, of course). I was most recently a Senior Journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation - as a conventional reporter, but also as a VJ in remote locations. I'm now freelancing, and available to travel. I specialise in making conventional-looking TV, and with dealing with unwilling and often foreign talent in a respectful and empathetic manner. I shoot on a Sony XD Camera with full kit. I also edit long and short-form video on various software, though mainly FCP. My long-form shooting and editing has been broadcast internationally on various established broadcasters. I have now also branched-out into social media and corporate video storytelling.
