David Oakley Creative Digital Media

My strengths lie in short form story telling. I always try to look for interesting and creative ways to tell a story, develop new skills, take inspiration and learn from others. I enjoy taking ownership of a project, nurturing an idea and then bringing it to fruition. I like to create a relationship with my work, so I’m ‘hands on’ every step of the way.

I can adapt my role to suit the project. If it’s an urgent small job, then I can be reactive, move fast and use my creative instinct to deliver something that connects with people - Thought provoking? Emotional? Inspirational? Comical? Cool? Whatever the subject matter dictates.

If it’s a larger job, I can brainstorm with the client and make a detailed plan. Scale up if I need to, bring a crew together from my local pool of contacts. Write a script? Need actors? Sound design? Lighting? Whatever it takes.
