Crew Listing


Description

I am a experienced drone pilot that has many years experience flying a whole range of drones and other remote UAVS. I have worked on smaller productions right through to some bigger productions. I have all the licences for the UK including A2, GVC and fixed wing qualifications - Alongside this i am a experienced European drone pilot and a registered pilot/operator for Ireland. I can also fly in the Isle of man.

Alongside this, i am a experienced camera operator and editor/visual effects expert.

I am also a experienced/licenced rally driver that holds a bars rally licence and a RS clubman rally licence from Motorsport UK, I also have the qualifications for Rospa gold, Iams roadcraft and pass plus. I also do stunt driving.

I currently do race and rally events throughout the UK.

My business called Big Flight Productions was established in 2021, however i had another business before this and i had to close this business when covid hit and this was horrible to close down, but i was not getting any work due to covid, so i had to close it down and then i have had to start fresh again with this, however if the truth be told its alot harder to get work these days then it was 5 - 8 years ago.

So i currently have Big Flight Productions and i also do security as i am head door on a place in Ormskirk so i do this also.

I am also alongside the above a martial artist and i have been trained in Krav Maga, Karate, Kickboxing, Ju Jitsu, Ninjitsu, Boxing and Wing Chun. Due to this i get offers to do martial arts scenes in some TV work, however i am busy with other things such as racing and working.
