Testimonials
Julianne Rooney
Senior Producer at BBC Global News
Oli is a multi-talented producer and all around pleasure to work with. He has an incredible knowledge of kit and cameras including 2D and 360 and is highly skilled in identifying the best production methods to fit a client's needs. He has a great understanding of how to communicate to different audiences and is a fantastic editor whether working on promo, narrative or graphics-based content. He is an asset to any team and I highly recommend him.
Damian Collier
CEO Blend Media
Oliver is not only talented and highly skilled but an absolute gentleman. He’d be an asset to any business and I strongly recommend him.
Simon Brooksbank
Chief Content Officer Blend Media
Oli is a terrific all-rounder but unlike some all-rounders he's really good at all the required elements. Great with cameras (2D & 360), a talented video editor for both narrative, promo and graphics-based content and great on shoots. He's unflappable, easy company, a wonderful human being and a joy to be around. If he comes your way, snap him up quickly. Highly recommended.
