Working with Barrage Media

I have recently secured a freelance position with Barrage Media. Barrage specialize in making training and educational films for charities and the public sector. I'll be working as a camera man and lighting technicain. I'm extremely excited about this as I've been wanting to get into video, and Hannah Chamberlin, the head honcho has many years of industry experience and I'll be learning on the job.

Hannah and I are also partnering on another project that will have to remain secret for now, but if it goes forward will be very exciting and innovative.
