Colin McNeilly

Colin McNeilly - Camera Supervisor

Colin has extensive experience working in-house and with independent production companies in the multi-camera environment, together with a detailed knowledge of equipment and a flair for planning.
“My experience as a live multi-camera director in both studios and outside Broadcasts, has taught me that the best way to get on in the business and to ensure the job is done well is to surround myself with talented people, and then take all the credit.

Colin is one of those people that I like to surround myself with. He takes his job seriously, yet conducts himself with an infectious light-hearted manner.

I like the fact that he often calls me before a shoot day as he has thought of something to make the job go better. In discussion over the best crew for the job or the best equipment, I always take his advice.

He has a talent in being able to tread the sometimes difficult path of representing his crew members, looking after their interests or dealing with their grievances and yet still maintaining the sense that he is acting in the best interests of me, as the Director and the show.

I look forward to my next project with him at the helm of the camera crew.”
-Stephen Stewart, GreenInc.
