Collingwood College 2025 Freshers Opening Ceremony
As Tech Manager for Collingwood College, Durham University, I was excited to pull off the most ambitious opening ceremony the college had seen. The event was attended by over 500 freshers, and I created the rig, lighting and sound design, as well as produced/edited all video content. The physical setup, including over 50 lighting fixtures, an LED all and an 11 box line array system, was built by a team of 10 led by myself and Collingwood's Venue Manager.
The event was a huge success, and you can watch the full video including my PoV footage here.

Colours Of Revenge Music Video
The Colours Of Revenge musical was a passion project by Constance Evans and myself, stemming from a script written by Constance. The musical, based on the board game cluedo, had fully original songs and script. Despite the show never fully seeing the light of day due to COVID and other complications, some music was fully produced.
Due to COVID restrictions, this video was filmed in a back garden at night. Amusing behind the scenes content can be found here.

Footprints in the Snow
This song was a christmas charity fundraiser, written, recorded and released in December 2020. We had to record vocals and video outside due to COVID regulations at the time, meaning the audio had to be heavily edited to get closer to a studio sound.
The project raised over £800 in total for the Lancaster Grand Theatre New Foyer Project and the justgiving page can be found here.
