麻豆约拍

David worked as as a director-cameraman on titles like Gutted, This Mine is Ours, Me and My Face, Life's Too Short, Please Leave The Light On. Developed from his early years as a film-cameraman in the 1970s when he shot major documentaries for acclaimed producers like the 麻豆约拍's Paul Hamann. Key observational skills were learned working with the two early masters of the genre in the UK, Roger Graef and his cameraman, Charles Stewart.

David's wide-ranging experience as a cameraman would find him fuelled by adrenalin on the streets of Northern Ireland during the Troubles and聽shooting World Rally cars from helicopters. Action and physical shoots became a speciality, including The Legend of Los Tayos in the Amazonian jungle, the last documentary made by Bill Forsyth before he embarked on his feature film career. (Gregory's Girl, Local Hero)

On a more cerebral note, a number of arts films for cinema and television came with the talented Scottish film-maker, Murray Grigor. (The Hand of Adam, Frank Lloyd Wright, Blast!) Murray also had the vision to bring to the screen the first two films featuring Billy Connolly. (Clydescope, Big Banana Feet)

The transition to directing and film-making came through the support and enthusiasm of producer Steve Clark-Hall, which included the great learning curve of delivering a weekly programme right from the opening days of Channel Four in 1982.

From then until he passed away he won critical acclaim and numerous awards. David also continued to make documentaries series鈥� and one-offs filling many roles including cameraman, director and series producer.

In recent years David sought to pass on his knowledge and skills through training courses both within the 麻豆约拍 and on college courses.

David passed away on the 16th April 2012, he was 65.
