JAMES MARSH
I'm a masters student at Abertay University, Dundee, studying Technical Art and Visual Effects with a particular interest in Virtual Production.
I have a background in AV for live events and experiences, ranging from corporate conferences to theatre - and now, screen-based media. I've got a particular interest in 3D and studio lighting solutions.
