About Brendan
Hi, I’m Brendan!
I’m a self shooting PD with 20+ years of experience working in corporate/branded, documentary, live events and live music.
I am happy to direct a larger crew from video village on larger productions, but I’m equally happy to operate camera and wear many production hats on smaller scale projects as required.
I’m technically astute and multi disciplined, with lots of experience across most areas of production. I also work as an editor.
I have worked in-house running studios for global tech companies. I understand the corporate culture, structure and workflow, striking a balance between corporate requirements and essential production efficiencies.
I’ve worked with some of the world’s biggest brands and household names in music and TV to craft emotive, cinematic, brand savvy films.
I’ve specialised predominantly in creating content for Fortune500 tech companies, with a focus on creating cinematic brand films that emotionally engage with audiences.
I’m always looking to elevate production value no matter the scale or cope of the project.
