About

I trained in graphic design but found motion graphics along the way which redirected me into the world of video production. I have subsequently worked in both industries but now work for myself, under the name Joshua Made, as a video creative, director, editor and animator working on a range of commercial and corporate projects as well as music videos and short film.

Industry Experience

I started out in the video production industry working as a promo producer assistant for MTV Networks in Auckland creating motion graphics, editing promos and working with art departments to create props and work on set for local content production and music videos.

I then went on to work as a motion graphics designer at Waxeye – a post production animation studio in Auckland. There I worked with variety of advertising agencies across video production and animation for television and live events.

Then after some time traveling I worked as a graphic designer, videographer and animator at a couple of Auckland advertising agencies and as a freelance contractor.

Following this I moved to Tauranga and worked for a communications agency doing video production and graphic design.

For the last nearly 5 years I have focused on video production working for myself as a freelance creative, director, editor and animator.
