About Me
WHO AM I?
My name is Claude Lee Sadik. I am currently based in Manchester (UK) where I just finished a BSc (Hons) Digital Media & Communications degree. I have a strong passion for visuals (photography / films). I love learning from more experienced creative minds and sharing my own knowledge with my peers. I am always looking for new experiences in the video/photography field to strengthen my skills. So far, most of my personal or professional production work have been done using Canon DSLRs but I also had the chance to work with Sony prosumers and Panasonic professional cameras. Regarding post production I work with several Abobe, Apple and AVID Products for video/audio editing and compositing.
LIFE EXPERIENCE? STUDIES?
My life so far has been rich in cultural experiences. Indeed, I am a Franco-Brazilian born in Belgium. I moved to Africa where I lived for 7 years (4 years in Cameroon and 3 years in Rwanda) in an international context. I came back to Belgium to finish my secondary education in a European School studying among people with different european nationalities and hence, different cultures and backgrounds. Once I obtained my secondary school diploma, I moved to France where I did a first year in Media Culture and Communication. I succeeded, but thought that continuing my license in UK would open more doors and perspectives for future jobs.
WORK EXPERIENCE?
I worked for an Apple Store in Brussels during summer 2007 where I provided my assistance and experience to customers and prosumers. I worked for a bit more than a year at Hollister as an Associate Impact Team Member where I was in charge of maintaining effectiveness of products flow. I recently started to design websites for a wide range of clients (short film producer, DJ...) and provide personal training (IT, Lightroom...). I also offer my services as a freelance filmmaker/editor to Bite Digital, a Digital Marketing Agency.
