is
the sole director of meon media.
He has a background in music and media arts. He began his career at Capital
Radio and was senior audio editor at BBC Audio before launching meonsound
in 2004.
"I
work with a great team on a friendly job-to-job basis...
Freelance producers, voiceover artists, actors, filmmakers and designers.
It’s all very amicable. When the work comes in, I brainstorm it and
work out who’s best to do what. When I can I’ll produce it myself,
because that’s how I started out. As purely a one-man operation. But
now it’s more of a little community. All offering that touch of meon
magic! "



"Life can be really tough for small businesses...
They often end up with tiny budgets and impossible deadlines. In the current
economic climate many industries are being squeezed dry and we work on a lot
of projects where money’s really tight.
But it’s benefited us over the years. We’ve learnt to work absolute
wonders at affordable rates and people really appreciate it. I think that’s
why meon media is having such a golden period. The big corporate
agencies find it hard to operate in this climate. As an independent, people
are coming to us for cheap alternative solutions."
"Lots
of little jobs..
I've produced work for lots of different genres over the years. Fashion, sport,
classic cars, music and broadcast technology, sci fi and gaming. Lots of new
industries are realising the potential of web presence and the new ways that
people expect to be entertained and informed. And we’ve got so many
new and unique ideas. We approach things from all kinds of new perspectives
to find the right solutions."
"Success
happens when you least expect it...
I made a short film about a vintage car and it won a digital arts award. The
project only took one day to produce, and it was made with a really cheap
camera. But it’s been very successful all round, which is really great.
I think more than anything, it highlighted the meon media
ethic. Working with great people, to produce affordable projects on a tight
budget with limited resources.
I’m happy doing anything that’s in some way connected to the arts
and in particular web media. I find it very exciting and enjoyable work!"
