I have been working for BBC Sport for a while as a freelancer, and have been across MOTDx’s output since it launched in 2019. Honing the style of the show has been key to its success which covers the culture and personalities that represent football for a youth-led audience. Leaning on my experience from Copa90, I am able to produce and direct features for the weekly TV broadcast, but the show relies on each segment performing well in their own right, so each feature is developed with social media and the BBC Sport website in mind, and its something we have broken through with on many occasions. From filming a street football tournament in Rotterdam, to an artist who hand-paints football shirts, to a sitdown interview with Chelsea’s Mason Mount - we put our MOTDx stamp on things.

As the first lockdown eased in the UK, I picked up a contract with FIFA to work on enhancing their digital content. While working remotely, I developed a series of programming which included documentaries about memorable fixtures, legendary players and stand out moments from World Cup history. Connecting a small team we produced an incredible 40 films together, editors in London, researchers in Sydney and feedback coming from FIFA HQ in Zurich. I also led on sourcing interviewees around the World to help tell the stories. While producing on the edits, I also edited some of the content myself. The archive-based videos have achieved over 2million views and counting. One of my favourites is the story of Kylian Mbappe - I interviewed fans and players to create this piece about this legend in the making.

I shot and directed the first episode in this new series for Formula 1, the video has been very successful with the F1 audience, amassing over 1 million views across social media. I had a lot of fun shooting it too, Daniel was exactly as you’d expect; great attitude and was very open to me, the process and the camera.

I joined Fulwell 73 up in the North-East of England to help make the Sunderland ‘Til I Die documentary series, it a fascinating experience. I Produced and Directed on the first three episodes, shooting on Sony F5 and FS7 in the football crazed city. I researched and uncovered lots of interesting characters along the way and gave what I felt was a fitting tribute to the unique support this team has in the area. Spending many days at the training ground as well as around the city, I worked with the players and staff to capture their connection they have with Sunderland. All 8 episodes can be streamed on Netflix.

Given exclusive access to produce the official farewell film for John Terry to Chelsea FC. I directed and shot this piece, which included fans from around the world getting the chance to say thanks to their captain. It all got a bit emotional.

Working for Little Dot Studios I led on the creative for this series of short challenges for Lucozade and The FA. It saw three Lionesses take on each other in training drills which members of the public could then replicate at home. I shot and directed this one, leading a multi camera crew with the tight shoot and turnaround.

I spent a week spent exploring the amazing country of Japan, armed with a FujiFilm X-H1 I was commissioned to capture the atmosphere and culture of 3 wonderful cities; Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. It was an unbelievable experience and I can’t wait to revisit for the 2020 Olympics

I have produced numerous features for BBC Sport across Match of the Day and Football Focus in the role of Assistant Producer. Organising shoots around the country for broadcast TV and the BBC website.

This feature included a trip to Lincoln to preview the team’s trip to Wembley for a Cup final with presenter Mark Clemmet.

I made six films featuring Puma’s athletes at the Womens World Cup - with just an hour of their time we managed to shoot some really nice access pieces with the players. We delved into their backstory, found out what made them tick and what success looked like ahead of the most important Womens World Cup in history. The series featured the likes of Nikita Parris, Abby Dahlkemper, Sam Mewis, Dzsenifer Marozsán, Saki Kumagai, Eugenie Le Sommer and Ada Hegerberg.

In this 6-part TV series I series-directed for Sky Sports, six British Olympians took on the obstacle courses of Tough Mudder in aid of charity.

The series took me all over the UK, Austria and USA, to get a personal insight into the athletes training techniques and how they prepared for the daunting prospect of 8 hours on a muddy assault course.

I spent the morning with Sir Mo Farah as he did his press call for the Big Half Marathon - great character and was a pleasure to work with him. Having shouted at the TV to urge him on so many times it was an honour to meet the man, and create this film for his personal youtube channel. The aim was to inform his fans what he’s been up to and how training for the London Marathon has been going.

Along with football content for BBC Sport I also produce across their other content, as a big motorsports fan I jumped at the chance to create a Formula E feature. Its a sport which is growing and growing each year and one that I’ve been following for a while now. Rachel Stringer met with Sam Bird for this piece to preview BBC Two’s live coverage of the Hong Kong race.

With the postponement of Tokyo 2020, I first of all was gutted as its something I’ve been looking forward to ever since the games were announced but then secondly thought how must all those athletes feel having worked so hard to peak for this summer. So I hit up my friend Aimee and we rung around some of her mates to get the lowdown. Big up to my production assistant on this one…Zoom.

All shot and edited remotely during isolation

The London Marathon is a fixture in my calendar every year, whether its running it or shouting at strangers from the pavement, I love it. 2020’s edition was a closed event for obvious reasons and people were running their own virtual marathons around the globe, and I was tasked with producing films for the live BBC broadcast which saw user-generated clips edited together to help tell the story of this amazing day. Sitting down at 5am with an editor with no footage probably should have been daunting but we saw it as a challenge and embraced it.

Leon McKenzie seemed to have the world at his feet, and as a Norwich City fan I certainly thought so. As a Premier League footballer he was scoring goals against Manchester United but on the inside he was going through hell. This is a closer look into why he reached rock bottom, and ended up literally fighting back. I got to spend a day in the company of Leon in South London and it was truly inspirational.
