TV Researcher


I'm currently a Researcher at Sunset + Vine, a sports TV production company - presently working on an extreme sailing show.

America's Cup Uncovered is a behind-the-scenes weekly show broadcast on Channel 4, Sky Sports 3, and youtube, which follows sailing teams as they compete in events around the world for the oldest trophy in international sport: the America's Cup.


Here's a feature I put together at the opening of one show on Ben Ainslie, the world's best Olympic sailor, as he announced his entry into the America's Cup:



Another feature I worked on was the anniversary of one of the most famous years in the America's Cup, 1987, when America won back the trophy after losing the event for the first time in 132 years:



Finally, to give an idea about the extreme element of the event, here's one of the shows featuring racing in some very windy weather when the America's Cup came to the U.K.

CNN



Whilst at CNN International I worked across their various current affairs shows, researching on topical business stories to worldwide events and breaking news, as well as prompting on several big stories from the Arab uprisings, the shocking Tsunami in Japan, and the Royal Wedding in London last year.
One specific feature I researched on was called 'World @ Work', where I helped set up shoots to focus on a variety of different jobs and why people enjoy doing them - it's a 'day in the life' style feature.

I was involved in setting up a shoot on a traffic warden and also a cocktail specialist - finding interesting characters who could tell the story of their daily job in an interesting and enlightening manner.

Here is one we did with a theatre make-up artist - for this idea I thought the feature would be good at revealing a quite secretive profession:
