Show profile Hide profileAlthough my work experience has been mainly within film and video, the creative aspects within the projects, which I have worked on and lead, has been quite vast, as I I have dealt with design, copywriting, scriptwriting, editing, motion graphics and animation and cinematography. Although I did not work extensively with each of these processes, I have good understanding and experience in it's implementation within the projects.
Although I have been an active fillmmaker/videographer since 2007 and have obtained valuable experience in online education content creation while working for a well established company in Cape Town.
Although film has been my passion since childhood, I was first able to start making short narrative films during the early years of my undergraduate studies in Visual Art at Stellenbosch University. As soon as the opportunity presented itself, though, I started creating obsessively, with a hunger that only grew and could not be satisfied. During my Master's degree I wrote, produced, directed, filmed and edited a micro-budget (R6000) feature film, which formed the practical section of my studies and resulted in a Cum Laude. In 2013 Preek was also screened at a South African Film Festival.
After the completion of my Masters degree (my theory and practical work focused entirely on film) I started to work for a small production company as writer, producer, director, cinematographer and editor, while still offering my services to the Visual Arts Department as an assistant and part-time lecturer in video production and film-theory. While working as director for the small production company,, I lead the production and post-production processes. I was very active from conceptualisation through to to design and motion graphic implementation in the projects.
In 2014 I took the position of videographer and editor at Lobster Ink, an online education company. There I worked on a lot of online training productions and learned a lot about the online education industry. Since then I took up the post of HOD of Film and Television Diploma at City Varsity. Although I enjoyed the academic side of film, I realised that I belong on the creative and hands-on side of things and therefore aim to position myself in a space where I can take part in creative processes.
