Video Production, Music Videos, Music Video Production, Live Concert Filming - Silvertip Films

With a degree in Astrophysics and an MSc in Business Studies, Chris worked for a number of years in logistics and then IT consulting.

His longstanding interest in films led him to move away from these worlds and in 2004 he studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy, writing and directing four pieces. His on-set experience began immediately and he worked as crew on twelve projects, primarily as a 1st Assistant Director on shoots with formats varying from HD to 35mm. Gaining knowledge of the operation of many aspects of a film shoot, he supplied both creative and logistical input to the smooth running of productions.

He joined Silvertip Films in 2005, working as a Sony Z1 Camera Operator and Editor and has been involved with music videos, weddings, live music and theatre events, short films, interviews, showreels and corporates. His projects have included business-related projects for Wagamama and Astra Zeneca, a promotional film which was pitched to M&S Saatchi and Cartier in London, and a fund-raising project film for UNICEF which was shown to UN representatives and multinational blue-chip companies.

Chris works on a Final Cut Pro 5 editing suite and his credits include theatre shows, short films and promotional material, and he has significant experience of editing wedding films, all of which require different approaches.

Alongside his work with moving pictures, Chris offers skill in digital stills photography, capturing live events as well as images for DVD sleeves and promotional material.

With a business background supplementing huge creativity and a keen eye for scene setting, Chris enjoys using the camera in a variety of scenarios and continues to broaden his portfolio through his directorship of Silvertip Films.
