Video Operator
Adam began his career in 2002, initially in the South African film industry as an assistant in the art department. Following this introduction, he then joined a crewing agency as production and camera assistant.
Keen to develop his skills in film making, he trained in Video Assist and editing. He began specialising in 2008, and joined one of Cape Towns leading Video/DIT companies, Scarab Industries.
