Briefly describe your creative business - or your interest in creative businesses
I produce videos for clients' websites. From pre-production right through to the finished product.
Tell us more about your creative business...
I am currently a freelance Camera Operator and editor where my clients include Johnson Baby Products, Lemsip, Christian Aid, Careers Scotland, West Edinburgh Action, the Gorgie/Dalry Partnership, Citizen Online, BizClip Inc, Yell.com, Shelter and Stevenson College Edinburgh.
Previously I was employed by the Ministry of Defence where my responsibility as a video producer/director and editor involved producing training, promotional and recruitment videos for the Army. This covered all aspects of video production - from the initial negotiations of new projects through to the production and post-production stages. My experience and skills are as follow.
I have considerable experience of both SD DV cameras and HDV cameras - Canon XL2, Sony PD150/170, Sony Z1 and Betacam SP I have worked as a camera operator and sound recorder on location and in a studio environment. I have my own HDV camera equipment (Canon A1) and sound equipment.
I also have considerable experience of editing - Avid Express Pro/Composer, Premier Pro and Final Cut Pro plus experience of After Effect and Photoshop. I have my own FCP Studio system for freelance purposes.
My training covers ENG News Gathering Techniques, Avid editing and After Efter (those courses were undertaken while employed by the MOD). I am also a graduate in Physical Sciences majoring in Chemistry (Robert Gordon's University) plus I hold postgraduate diplomas in Computing (University of Paisley) and TV Feature & Documentary Production (University of Salford).
I am an effective team-worker, working closely with contributors, clients and other members of staff. I am adaptable and have the ability to think on my feet, taking each situation as they come.
Samples of my work can be seen on the following links.

Information, ideas and contacts you'd like, to help you become even more successful in your creative business
I am keen to develop contacts with web designing companies with the possibilities of producing videos for their clients. But in general I am keen to meet people who are passionate about multimedia.

Hi Fraser - thanks for the message.
I certainly do need camera operators/editors - I currently do it all myself but as my business grows I will certainly look to outsource more of what you do.
Keep in touch and there may be a project in the near future that I can use you for.
Rgds, Laura.
