📽️ ASSISTANT VIDEO DESIGNER/CONTENT ASSISTANT to Matt Powell @mattpowell_creative This October/November I’ve been privileged to work on placement with the video designer Matt Powell, supporting their stunning video designs with content assistance (and a little bit of warping maintenance too). It’s involved working on multiple shows, in different sectors of theatre, up and down the country, and I couldn’t be thankful enough to Matt, and their teams (and of course @seanlaing2000 ) for offering me such an amazing and wide-ranging opportunity. And what we now don’t know about After Effects’ roto-brush tool isn’t worth knowing. Thank you so much Matt for a fantastic two months!
