88 Seconds. Nick's latest timelapse promo.
Nick is a versatile cameraman who specialises in timelapse.
In 1999, Nick completed Media Arts Production Skills (MAPS Cert 4 certificate) and began working as a freelance cameraman. In 2004, he collaborated with Tom Bettany & Chris Edser to create the video production business Quench Studios. Throughout the years, Nick has taken an increasing interest in shooting specialised timelapse photography/sequences using digital SLR cameras. Having a strong background in both video and still photography, Nick was one of the first cameramen to embrace the Canon 5D MkII in early 2009, shooting "Girt By Beards", one of the first (if not the first) documentary captured on a 5D MkII in May/June 2009.
In addition to being hired as a cameraman, Nick is hired as a grip, offering unique motion control timelapse, crane/jib, dolly and steadicam camerawork around Adelaide and interstate.
