Talent
Carrie Cooksley
Video Operator
Carrie studied Film and TV Production at the University of Hertfordshire. On winning the Warner Bros Scholarship, she received a placement as a Set PA on Fantastic Beasts. Safe to say, being a pa wasn’t for her, but fortunately soon after that Carrie went on to become video trainee on Breathe and then Ready Player One and never looked back. From there, Carrie continued working as trainee and then assistant. On long running TV drama Cursed, Carrie stepped up to video operator for a couple of weeks which was an exciting and new challenge for her. Since then she has had many more opportunities to operate Qtake whilst in high pressured situations and has now made the step up from assistant. Being part of Digital Orchard she hopes to be able to continue operating on bigger productions where she also has a trainee in order to learn the art of managing a team as she feels it would really help her develop into a more proficient operator.
