Female Director
About
My name is Katie Dawson. I have been a director for the last 30 years; In that time I have filmed a variety of commercials, music videos, broadcast promotions, TV channel idents & online content. I treat every brief equally, regarding each project as a creative challenge that needs to be solved. I create stand out pieces of film to engage audiences, I can offer a range of services from a variety of branded content. I am also very happy to work on a freelance basis with other production companies.
No budget or brand is too big or too small
Corporate and brand communications are becoming more audience-led highlighting the need to stand out from the crowd and be noticed. Recognising the need for flexibility, I can ensure high production values, on budget, to brief and to deadline. I also know a large network of talented, experienced people that I have worked with for years in all areas of production & post production. I can build a team to scale with all the specific skills required for your project including 2D & 3D animation.

HISTORY
Starting out as a graphic designer comes in useful when pitching on jobs that need to work across all platforms for on air, print, on-line, tablet & smart phone applications. I mock up a visual references, story boards and animatics myself; as I am very proficient on Adobe - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Muse and Premiere. Not only do I have oodles of experience on set, I have also spent hours & hours of my adult life in Post production. I am very experienced in art directing/directing traditional animation, 3D animation, special effects & compositing and I've won various awards for my work over the years.
TESTIMONIAL
Andy Williams Creative Director of Vamanos Creative “My agency, Vamonos, hired Katie to direct a number of shoots for a series of short form programmes we were producing. She did a fantastic job. Her eye and attention to detail are second to none. She has a well honed visual style which makes her work look beautiful. Finally, her experience and professionalism mean she is always calm and collected even under pressure. Looking forward to working with Katie again.”
