Current Volunteer Profiles

Andy

Andy took a back room role in WitneyTV from the offset by designing and producing the graphics and animations.

He has since taken an additional roles in filming, editing and producing WitneyTV’s content.

 

 

Janine

Janine brings an artistic flair to the films of WitneyTV – in other words, if you see a tight shot of a flower or a focus pull its most probably her filming! She also offers advice on editing and keeps us all grounded!

 

 

Lizzie

Lizzie (the one member of WitneyTV who actually has a clue what she’s doing as she has a BA in Photography!) makes up for in skill what she lacks in height!

 

 

 

Joe

Joe originally supplied us with music for our Jubilee videos and then “agreed” to help us should we need him in any other capacity. Obviously we snapped him up on the offer!

 

 

 

Lucas

Lucas originally volunteered with WitneyTV “for the bant”. We weren’t sure what this actually meant, as none of us speak “youth” but he seems to enjoy being out in the sunshine and so we leave him to it!

 

 

Hannah

Hannah is currently studying Film and Media so if you see any Speilberg-esque dolly-zooms reminiscent of “Jaws” or Kubrick style extreme camera angles and long tracking shots, you’ll know she was involved in the video!
