Phillip Covell - Production Experience

Updated - September 2024

INTRODUCTION

• I have had the privilege of advising major studios, broadcasting corporations, and independent productions, providing camera equipment, production services, and skilled crews for a diverse array of projects, including Features, TV Drama Series, Entertainment, Documentaries, News, Commercials, and Viral Videos.
• One of the unique advantages of supplying camera equipment is the opportunity to work with specialised equipment that demands the expertise of a technician or technical creative. This has allowed me to step out of the office, engage my creative skills, and contribute directly to the production process. This hands-on involvement has led to my operating cameras, lighting, designing shots or entire sequences, directing segments, and even managing or producing various aspects of the production.
• While I have supplied equipment to countless productions, I personally provided technical, creative, and production services on over 300 projects. In collaboration with producers, directors, and cinematographers, I worked with crews of all sizes to bring creative visions to life. Throughout my career, I maintained an impeccable 100% health and safety record.
• The following is an overview of productions on which I personally contributed….In this time I have maintained a 100% health & safety record.
