The Film Unit - Paul Thompson

Paul Thompson

I have over 25 years international broadcast experience, primarily as a cameraman, beginning in 1983 with HTV, where I gained a wide and thorough training in all aspects of camerawork, from Studio and Outside Broadcasts to PSC and ENG.

I consider myself to be a professional, innovative and imaginative lighting cameraman, at home in any production environment from dramas to documentaries, commercials to current affairs, both network and regional.

I have additional skills and experience as a Steadicam operator and consultant & have travelled extensively throughout the UK & overseas, filming in many hostile and challenging environments.

Do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss rates or availability for any forthcoming project.
