Chef Dave documentary
-Produced by Tianjin Satellite Channel 2023
In 2023, our studio received an order from Tianjin Satellite Channel to shoot a short documentary about a British chef who mastered Chinese cuisine in Tianjin, China. Due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, their film crew couldn't come to the UK. I worked as the gaffer. With just three days to plan and execute everything, we carefully coordinated with the Chinese film crew. We traveled to Liverpool and began filming, focusing on interviewing Chef Dave about his career, experiences in China, new book, and future plans. Despite the tight schedule, we captured extensive footage, including local sights and various interviews, to meet the channel's requirements.

I had the privilege of working on Britain's Got Talent Season 17, from the Manchester Producer Tour to the Manchester Judge Tour, in the role of a runner and logger.
During the Producer Tour, my responsibilities included organizing all the singer contestants. This involved guiding them to their seats, taking their register, and escorting them to the audition room, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
In the Judge Tour phase, I transitioned to the role of a logger. My primary duty was to follow camera J and meticulously take notes on all the content being captured. This included documenting key moments, especially when a judge hit a golden buzzer, ensuring that every significant moment was captured and recorded accurately.
