Video and presenting
Presenting
I have presented and co-produced a number of videos, including events recorded and broadcast live. These have included interviews with guests, pieces to camera, pre-recorded segments and voiceovers. Below are a number of examples recorded with the Natural History Museum’s production team.
Surprising Science videos
I planned, wrote, co-directed and co-produced the following short films at the Natural History Museum.

Fun and silliness
I have also made a number of more playful videos, and although I am no actor, I enjoy having fun with characters and music.
