Connor Stewart

• My current role at Six by Nico has been my most thrilling so far with travelling around the UK filming short movies to launch both restaurants and new menu creatives
• Six By Nico has been my first super team orientated job and I love working as part of a team both in the filming and planning of videos
• Planned, filmed and edited video content to match brief requirements.
• Prepared equipment needed to conduct shoots smoothly.
• Travelled to various locations to film, transporting necessary equipment.
• In my time here I have become more accustomed to using entry level cinema cameras and cine glass along with using more complex process of editing and colour grading in davinci, In my career so far I can easily label this as a moment I became interested in cinematography rather than videography and creating more meaningful projects
• My highlights of the job so far is the two short doc research trips to both
• Sicily and Catalonia, it was a new type of filming to me that I really enjoyed, very fast paced and lots of planning with local restaurants and experiences to bring together the docs

• I picked up this as a on the side job to help fund my move into glasgow and for new video equipment mainly a set of DZO cine primes
• Produced high quality, impactful content to strict deadlines, consistently meeting brand standards.
• Developed catchy phrases for social media content.
• The brands worked with were staples in glasgow mainly being restaurants in Finneston and the city centre

• Starting talks in January 2020 a now good friend of mine reached out to me with an idea to start a football magazine that touches on fashion, music and culture
• We have released three copies of the magazine with buyers from all over the United Kingdom and America
• Through the magazine I have been able to shoot for various reputable brands, football teams and football players.
• This to date has been some of the most stressful but rewarding work I have done as it was a platform for young people around Scotland to have a voice both in urban music and culture
• Conceptualised and directed creative strategies for diverse projects in alignment with brand objectives.
• Established relationships with freelance creatives to expand creative resources.
• Met client deadlines through excellent workload planning and prioritisation.

This was the start of my move from just mainly photography to more video work

throughout this time I have done increasingly bigger project but I have always continued doing freelance work on the side and I love meeting and working with different people

some notable video projects I have done

Warner Music

I was contacted to do some bits content of a music video filmed at Ibrox for two artists called Triple 01s, unfortunately not long after one of the artists passed after a battle with cancer but now they are making a short doc with a director down south so the footage is going to be in that piece.

Polymatrix Liverpool

This was my first travelling down south for a EDM event, it was great to meet all the different people and document the event and see how the other videographers worked.

TRNSMT

For the past few years I have been lucky enough to work at TRNSMT as part of the video team with DF Concerts working on both artist interviews and the after movie

Connect Festival

Again same as above I have been on the video team dong the after movie and artist interviews

Kimpton Hotels

Working with Kimpton has been a blast and I look forward to doing more work with them in the future on a freelance basis

• In the marketing department in charge of planning and developing eye catching photos for all eight venues across Ayrshire
• During my time with Buzzworks I worked directly with brands like Moet Chandon, Smokehead, Dalmour and Hophouse which saw me taking still life shots of their products
• I took pictures of events and charitable work involving the company which included some of my work being published in the Ayrshire Magazine.
• Performed retouching and colour correction in Adobe Lightroom for optimal results.
• Captured and processed high-quality visual assets for in-house and key stakeholder usage.
• Used creative retouching and colour correction across digital imagery and video assets, maintaining high standards.

• Magic City was my first paid job I picked up whilst in college
• Hosted once a month on Saturdays it taught me a lot about working and meeting deadlines to a professional standard, it allowed me to meet other creatives in Glasgow and make new contacts
• Performed retouching and colour correction in Adobe Lightroom for optimal results.
• Collaborated with other photographers during large-scale events.
• Photographed high-quality images for both print and internet distribution.

During collage studying HND photography I started going out and doing odd shoots here and there but through that I was able to eventually do lots of very memorable photo shoots for clients and travel around the UK, here is some that stand out to myself that I have done

Lifes not knifes

During this project we were invited down to the three big Liverpool teams stadiums to photograph old legend players of the clubs wearing a custom designed kit that I helped design.

All of the kits profits went to charity to combat knife crime in the UK.

The SNUTS

I was invited down to shoot with the SNUTS on there last night of the UK tour down in London at Kentish Town O2, This was my first time doing any big band work and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Adidas

Whilst at Stonewaller I was asked to make a short creative video piece on Scotland fans as a part of the "It's coming hame" creative, I was honoured to be able to do something along side the Scotland team and it was a blast getting the video put together
