My ShowReel
I highlight videography skills using sport action, drones and underwater cameras. Employing reviews, stop motion, interviews and special effects I show my sense of humour using production and editing skills.
The Reel includes my YouTube channel ‘Coconut Head Productions’ which I made when I was only 12 in 2012. It shows videos of reviews, stop motions and my interviews of exhibitors at a Lego Conference.
Scenes from my modern Youtube channel ‘Will Lad’ highlight drone and underwater footage, demonstrating my ability to shoot videography in difficult and unusual environments.
I added Victoria University assessments, including visual effects and green screen usage of myself as twins and reaching outside the computer screen (2020) and my short film “The Kerb Side Shoppers” (2019). I also showed my production and editing skills in the ‘Non-Profit’ video for VUSMA.
I showcased paid work of writing, production, videography and editing of Quick Spiel Business Advertising. I also added one of my short films Llama Beer (2019) which won an advertising filming award. I edited in text to the showreel for the viewer to clearly understand the types, roles and skills employed in each filmed project.
