Tom Bliss
About:  I've worked on most types of production over the years, doc, drama, corporate, multimedia cdrom, sellthrough, installation, and found myself in a scary number of roles - so i usually know what the rest of the team are going through. I'm flexible, professional and easy to work with.

Training and Skills
Formal Training:  Broadcast TOPs course 1984 Avid and Final Cut courses Bob McKee Story Seminar Other Skills:  Scriptwriting (I did this exclusively for about 5 years - everything from docs to features)Directing. This is my main source of income these days - and it usually includes interviewing.Production - as required.Design - I know my way round photoshop (I have a diploma in design, and used to do a lot of graphics when I started)Camera - not a speciality, but I'm a dab hand with a dv camera and find I'm using it more and more on my own productions.Sound - I spent a year doing this perforce when working in a two-man crew on a BBC 2 series.Editing - needs must when the devil drives! When Avids first appeared, I found it quicker to do it myself. I now use Avid or FinalCut Pro on a Titanium laptop - which means I'm fully mobile.
Additional Information
I've done quite a bit of composing too. I play in a band and have all the gear - and occasionally a colleague has persuaded me to write the music for a doc. But it's not exactly core businesss. www.slipjig.co.uk or www.limboweb.com
