George Jefferies Videographer Camera Operator and Drone Operator in Cambodia

About

I’m a videographer, camera operator and drone pilot based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

 

I’ve been based in Cambodia for over 10 years and have worked extensively as a producer, director, camera operator and editor for international production companies and broadcasters, on feature-length documentaries, in the development sector and on corporate videos.

 

I was privileged to have the opportunity to work as a shooting producer director on 2 segments for The Travel Show for the BBC. This included a 5-minute segment on Phare Circus in Siem Reap and a 5-minute segment revisiting people who work in tourism around the Angkor Archaeological Park and seeing how they’re faring after the COVID-19 pandemic.  

 

I was fortunate to be contacted by Zero Point Zero to work as a drone pilot and camera operator on the Cambodian episode of CNN’s Nomad with Carlton McCoy. I’m a big fan of Anthony Bourdain, so it was a privilege to work with the production company that produced all his travel show.  My roles included capturing drone images of Angkor Wat, the floating villages on the Tonle Sap and central Phnom Penh, operating the second camera and working closely with the director of photography to light scenes.

 

A large part of what I do is working as a NGO videographer in the development sector, in Cambodia and South East Asia. I’ve worked with a range of UN Agencies (UNICEF, UNDP, WFP), government ministries (MoSVY, MoT, MoC) and NGOs (SNV, TPO, FELM, KIVA). It’s always satisfying to work closely with the client to deliver videos and photographs that highlight the important work they do.  

 

A definite highlight of my career was working as a producer, director and camera and steadicam op on the feature-length documentary 'Last of the Elephant Men', which received critical acclaim and numerous awards including the Canadian Screen Award for Best Cinematography in a Feature Documentary.

 

I’m available for assignments in Cambodia, in South-East Asia and the rest of the world. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any projects you would like to discuss.
