MATT GROVER
Freelance Cameraman
Experience with PSC/ENG cameras and accessories on location and in a multi-camera studio shoot.
Happy operating or assisting, I’m able to prepare a number of cameras of other operators or my own assigned kit, ready to roll, in either case, quickly and efficiently.
I can deal with most major SD and HD video formats and cameras as well as the smaller format cameras such as the Sony Z1 or EX1 or Panasonic DVX or HVX also with HD-DSLRs.
Skill set and familiarity
A strong factual production background gives me an eye (and ear) for content. A management background, prior to moving into media gives me valuable goal, time and people management skills.
I’m constantly looking to expand my skill set and attend training when I can, including;
Directors course in Motion Picture Production (Brighton Film School)
Practical Lighting Skills 3-day Workshop (Arri Academy)
Grammar of Documentary Editing (Documentary Filmmakers Group)
First Aid at Work; Emergency Aid
Various BBC Health & Safety and DV workshops
I can rig and monitor basic sound operations for actuality, pieces to camera and interviews, use a variety of wired and wireless mics and if need be SoundDevices or SQN mixers.
I’m familiar with a range of lighting equipment from Redheads and Arri Juniors to Dedolights, KinoFlo and HMI’s.
On the post-production side of things, I’m a capable Final Cut Pro editor, also with some Avid, basic After Effects, Premier, and other applications, both Mac OSX and Windows.
