James Bailey

I’m highly technical and lover of anything with buttons. Happy to adjust to any situation to get the most of out any production, from camera operator, stills photographer to camera assistant or DIT I am highly flexible in my roles for production. With a comprehensive technical knowledge on a wide range of broadcast equipment, I’ve spent the last decade and a half working at Mad Dogs Television. 

In the office I’m often learning new equipment and creating new workflows and on location I’ve worked on everything from high end commercials and idents and hit primetime shows to camera assisting duties and data wrangling.

I got my first inkling of wanting to work TV when I first saw the BBC News 24 top of the hour countdown (video). I loved it, the music and the visuals I thought were amazingly clever and dynamic and as a result I started to teach myself about timelapse photography which the sequence used. From this simple start I went on to discover my passion for television production and using my skills to help others achieve their vision which has developed into a career I truly love.
