iMAGE OF yANNIS dIMOPOULOUS

ABOUT ME
I am a young film maker living in the UK. I grew up in
The Cotswolds and have been interested and intrigued
by the fascinating world of film since 2009.From the
age of 11 Ive been creating films in a small group of
friends and one of these films has won an award.

I am a very self-motivated person and extremely

creatively driven. I am fully aware of the technicalities
of the industry but prefer to strike a more creative flare
whilst forever maintaining essential technical skills.
I am always open to new and better ways of doing
things and I never let not knowing about something
stop me - I just teach myself. During the last few years,
I have been doing everything I can to learn as much
as possible about film-making off my own back and
collaborating with friends and clients to further my
talents. At home I am always very busy making films,
both for clients and my own films which I produce in
my spare time. I like all the practicalities of production,
because its hands on. I am also fascinated by the
process and techniques involved in creating visual
effects. I have a good range of camera equipment and
professional editing software, so that I can be more
versatile and increase my creative abilities. Im well
qualified in both editing and VFX. I work at a relentless
pace and do not allow myself to stop until I have
perfected the product to the very best of my abilities.
Im always entreated to collaborate and learn more in
addition to my ambition to direct a feature film.

While at Rendcomb; I became familiar with NM Generation. From
initially collaborating: we soon formed a creative relationship and
have collaborated ever since.
My work for them was almost exclusivly video based.
Luke and James (the owners of NM Generation), were in the heat of rehearsals for their highly rated play: FAITH, when
they commissioned me to create trailers and behind the scenes videos in order to promote their play before release.

As a graded assignment: I produced a magazine cover and spread from pre - post production. I used
literacy, photography and design skills in order to finish the task to the best ogf my abilities.

Sound Design
My experience with sound design, could be concidered limited, however: as a solo filmmaker:
Ive had to complete every job role by myslef: including sound design.
For each and every one of my flims (seen on youtube.com/tvfshd), Ive mixed and prodced
the sound design.
I often edit my work in Premiere and dynamic link it into Audition, where the bulk of the
sound work is done.
I have included there links below, which take you to extracts of a Radio show I produced as
a graded module. They each demonstrate my abilities as a sound designer.
