CREATORS SPOTLIGHT APRIL 2019

CHRISTOPHER DYMOND

Christopher Dymond was born on the 7th of March in 1994, in Greenfield Park. He likes to draw, watch movies and play video games. When it comes to favorite films, he’s a huge fan of Star Wars, Tim Burton Films, Mel Brooks comedy films. He’s also a fan of film and soundtracks.

When he was in his final year of college, he joined Spectrum Productions near the end of 2014. He learned how to edit videos and how to direct and also operate sound. Some time afterwards he began working with Spectrum Productions on paid contracts. Ever since late 2015, he's been directing and editing Peter Papaioannou's Sweets with Pete cooking videos. He's also been involved in a lot of videos that other participants made, either appearing in them, or helping with the filming / editing. He is proficient when it comes to using Adobe Premiere Pro, and is currently improving on more of its features. He's also an expert when it comes to synching the footage and audio together using the computer app, 'Pluraleyes'.

Chris has attended programs at spectrum productions for six years. For the last four years he has been a participant of the Creative Media Lab (CML). Over the years, Chris has created a wide range of personal video projects from comedies to documentaries, learning the technical skills necessary to move into his current role as part of this team at Spectrums video production company.

Chris has logged over 500+ plus hours of paid contract work for Spectrum as a camera operator and editor on several high profile productions. He is also the director and editor for a weekly cooking show called the Sweets with Pete featured on Spectrums YouTube channel.
