My Work...
Producer / Director:
Finding someone with the ability and common sense to see a project through from start to finish isn't always easy, but Ryan has the canny ability of making it happen. He is excellent at producing and directing short features, especially those that are factual and/or entertainment based with a strong emphasis on expert contributors. He's a 'people finder' and quickly establishes a good rapport. He can think on his feet and direct an interview, even at short notice, asking the questions that the viewer wants to hear the answers to. He is most comfortable directing small crews with one or two cameras, soundman, and AP. Alternatively; many smaller budget productions require Self Shooting PD's, to take care of several stories simultaneously. This increases production output over a shorter amount of time, and Ryan has had experience of working autonomously in this role, using a variety of types of cameras and equipment.
Multi-Camera (and/or Studio) Producer/ Director
Multi-camera production is generally high budget and performed in real time so you need someone you know can work efficiently and without fail in a stressfull live environment, Ryan does just that. He is experienced in directing multi-camera in various environments including studio programmes as well as outside broadcasts such as Music Festivals, Concerts, Sessions and even Airshows! Ryan is experienced at not only directing multi-camera editorially but also has technical knowledge of the process and is able to work and operate vision mixer equipment and troubleshoot where necessary - all while putting the programme together. He also has extensive experience in camera and vision work with most broadcast cameras.
Producer/ Editor
Getting a project handed to you with little or no brief can be challenging to say the least! But Ryan has faced this situation time and again. Rule number one, get stuck in! Ryan views the media whilst keeping in mind the overriding editorial requirement, measured against any Ofcom compliance issues that might pose a problem. Then, quickly and effectively he gets to work, whether organising any additional footage, shoots, or just the nitty-gritty of off-lining and scripting. Ryan will then see the project through to conclusion, by on-lining and organising audio session, directing voice over and final mix. He takes personal pride in the overall look of any piece, and has real flair at commissioning and working on title sequences, and graphic style templates.
