Patrick Tomlinson

Technical manager

Filming-making has come a long way from the days of clapper boards and vinyl disks. Post production has transformed the way we make films. This is a computer based industry now with clients demanding files for their hard drives and the internet. And our edit suites are complex computer systems. A man with a screwdriver just cannot do it these days – which is where Patrick comes in. Our IT and technical manager, Patrick has been working with us for several years, keeping the systems running smoothly for our clients, and keeping the rest of us abreast of the latest developments in this cyber world.

An Oxford graduate with a first in Film and Performing Arts, he has already made a number of short documentary films and won awards for his skill. Whatever their age, Nick is the perfect example of the type of employees Campaign attracts – people with natural skill and dedication, with awards to prove their expertise, and a good helping of creativeness and flair.
