Tim Vanderspek

I'm a graduate of a Broadcasting course in Radio and Television, and have over 8 years in both freelance and employed video production. I have my own recording/editing equipment and currently operate my own YouTube channel. I'm very passionate about video and audio production, and would like to help you take all that raw footage and condense it down into a finished project!
