Nick Sells contacted me to work as a videographer to document UNICEF’s Generation Future programme in Cambodia. Generation Future is a mentorship programme for young Cambodians with big ideas. The project will form part of UNICEF’s celebration of World Children’s Day.

After being selected for the programme, a group of young Cambodians receive one-on-one guidance from accomplished mentors. They also get seed funding to budget for essential project costs and tailored training from UNICEF Cambodia. When they have completed the training, they take their projects into schools to engage other Cambodian youth about their ideas for social change.

The were a broad range of projects including projects about creating school gardens to grow vegetables, oral hygiene and engineering. The video follows the participants training and them delivering the training for their project at a numbers of schools in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The aim in the future is to expand the project, so school children all over the country can benefit.

It was a pleasure getting to meet the future generation of Cambodians. If they’re anything to go by, Cambodia is in safe hands. Hopefully the success of the project will mean that it returns in 2023.

It was great working as a lighting camera operator and drone pilot with Christina and the teams from Cast Laboratories Singapore and Cast Laboratories Cambodia to produce this corporate video for Board of Engineers Cambodia Laboratory (BECL).

The video highlights the work that BECL do to emphasize the importance of testing and ensure safety standards in both existing and new structures in the burgeoning Cambodian construction market. This is an increasingly important job as the construction boom in Phnom Penh and many areas of Cambodia shows little sign of slowing down.

The corporate video demonstrates the tests Cast Laboratories do in Cambodia, including compression strength testing of concrete, testing steel and concrete in a non-destructive way, rebar tensile testing and many more of the services they provide.

My work as a lighting camera operator included working with two, Apurture C300D ii lights and 2 LED panels to give the video clean, even lighting to highlight the technical processes. Overall the client was very happy with the quality of the images I shot. The variety I provided them with allowed them to create split-screen segments in post-production to add dynamism to the final video. You can see another corporate video I shot here and more examples of my camera work here.
