Video Clips of my work
I find show reels a bit tedious so I have included here a few complete examples of the work I have done, which I think better demonstrates my versatility as a cameraman.
(These clips are privately hosted on YouTube - not searchable).
Brazilian Soccer Schools Promo
DIR: Andy Upton
CAMERA: Panasonic AF101 and Sony HDW 750
POSITION: Camera Operator
Here we used two cameras, the AF101 and the Sony 750 (HDCAM) feeding a 17" SDI HD monitor - I could hardly spot the difference between my 'budget' AF101 camera and the £60K Sony! The AF101 had one over the Sony in that we could shoot slo-mo and very quickly rig it for overhead shots with nothing more than a Magic Arm. See the results.
Freeport TV commercial

DOP: John Slane

A challenging shoot over one day; very energetic with lots, (and lots!) of camera movement.
Corporate

FORMAT: DVCAM (DSR500)
POSITION: Lighting Camera
Nice sequence showing process of online order to home delivery. Filmed over two days with a full night shoot.
Leeds University

POSITION: Lighting Camera
Three day shoot at Leeds University with jib and tracks.
The Dales Way

I also produce a range of sell-through DVDs about Yorkshire. These are all directed, filmed and edited by me. It's hard work managing so many roles but really it's a labour of love. Visit the Yorkshire DVD website.
