He has been fortunate to win many awards in AV Competitions across the globe, including the gold medal in a South African international and several bronze medals at national and international level. He has achieved an ARPS and DPAGB, both with AV. He tries to produce something different with each new AV so there is “something for everyone”. and particularly enjoys incorporating complex soundtracks to hold the attention. When Adrian presents a talk, he only shows his best work, and all his productions are in 4k quality. Presentations: Adrian normally talks about making an AV in the first half (two versions, one for camera clubs, the other for AV groups); he then shows a selection of his best AVs in the second half. If needed, Adrian can bring his own 4k projector and high-quality sound system, plus a microphone for larger groups.
