ENGAGEMENT WITH THE INDUSTRY
ITAÚ - RESPEITO
For the 2022 Football World Cup, South America's largest banking organisation, Banco ITAÚ, collaborated with Alice Secco; a young girl known for her expressive flair, and liking to repeat polysyllabic words, to create an advert personifying RESPEITO (RESPECT). For this shoot, I was given the role of Production Assistant, and acted as the on-site representative for the production team. Managing the practical, logistical and administrative aspects on the day of the shoot, with a high degree of independence and reliability.
MÖBIUS
I had the good fortune to be offered the opportunity to work on a feature film. My main position was that of a runner, but I also had the opportunity to work as a grip, sound engineer, and briefly as a camera assistant. This virtual production was shot in Poland, Wrocław, in the Centrum Technologii Audiowizualnych (CeTA). And gave me good insight into the setup and operation of a film set.
KARO - DON'T CHANGE US
Produced by End of Days Studios, the music video 'Don't Change Us' performed by the artist Karo was shot in the Barbican Centre and the Thamesmead Lakeside Centre. I was hired for the role of production assistant. Tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of the day's events, I was responsible for equipment, liaising with cast and crew, and organising logistics such as travel to and from locations, and catering.
