Eight campaign films for Scottish Opera. Director of Photography.

Opera trailer cinematographer, Glasgow

Commercials, not performance films. Actors as often as the cast, a marketing brief, thirty seconds to sell three hours. One face in low key, one colour doing the work, a grade that reads on a phone.

All eight produced in-house by Antonia Bain.

No. They're ads — cast with actors as often as the company, shot to a marketing brief.

Yes, single or multi-camera — see operating and the kit list. Different rig, usually a different week.

Who books this?

Marketing teams and their agencies — opera, theatre, dance, festivals. It's commercial work with an arts subject.
