VFX DRAMA | neilcunningham.pics

I provide creative, technical and production expertise for feature film, broadcast, commercial and corporate projects in the UK and overseas. I have filmed in: South Africa, Namibia, Malawi, Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, India, Thailand, Malta, Bosnia,

Slovenia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Norway

I have extensive experience of working with clients from pre-production - devising visual effects, breakdowns and costing - through to delivery, including directing, on-set supervision, planning and problem solving, managing post-production schedules and co-ordinating teams in various locations. I also enjoy the creative challenges of low budget projects where unconventional solutions and adaptability are required. I have managed and mentored technical and creative teams.

I supervise drone shoots and undertake technical photography for photogrammetry, matte painting and CGI.
