James Fisher(VIII)
- Camera and Electrical Department
- Cinematographer
- Producer
James comes from a fine art background and discovered filmmaking whist
studying at Chelsea College of Art. He graduated with a foundation
diploma in art & design majoring in film and then completed a three
year BA(Hons) Film & Video degree at the Skillset Screen Academy London
College of Communication, part of the University of Arts London. Whilst
on the course he worked as a Director, Cinematographer, Production
Designer, Assistant Director and Producer. A film he directed on the
course won the MTV 'Show Us What You're Made of' Award in February
2009. At university he was lucky to study under Jack Garfein, director
and teacher for the original Actors Studio, who taught him how to act
and how interpret a script.
James has experience using Standard Definition, High Definition video as well 16mm and 35mm film formats. He trained on the Guild of British Camera Technicians 35mm and HD course, which helped him learn his craft. After university he reached the final twelve out of hundreds of applicants in the Film London/Tri Borough film scheme 'New Pathways'. Showing a great work ethic on the course, the Executive Producer suggested he should produce the funded film 'Borderland'. This film went on to be premiered at the East End Film festival but missed out narrowly for a Film London 'Best of Boroughs' film nomination.
Most recently James has been working as a Director of Photography on numerous shorts and a feature film.
