James Dancer | Pro Audio and Video Business Manager

James is our Pro Audio and Video Business Manager, specialising in Major Accounts/Complex Solutions and anything that is a bit left field of the norm... want to use Final Cut Server to make the tea? He's your man! James’ clients frequently refer to his technical expertise when conceiving and planning projects, as well as workflow advice, problem solving and new system specification… usually with a question beginning “I want to accomplish this. How the heck do I do it?!”. After running a couple of companies working Music and Film Production for TV series (some of which were BAFTA winning/nominated), James began delving into the tech domain to feed his tech bug. His clients range from Sky, BBC, RTE, Sony, Discovery, ESPN etc. to two “world first” large scale broadcast/post-production vehicles.

You can often find Tony at our Pinewood demo facility where you will here of the phenomenon known as the “Tony Tour”… this basically consists of attempting to walk 100 meters anywhere around Pinewood in Tony’s company without being stopped and greeted by everyone from the tea lady to Daniel Craig or whoever does the best biscuits!
Tony has consulted and provided rigs for the Pinewood group as well as epic films such as Quantum of Solace, Robin Hood, Prince of Persia,  Mamma Mia and Sweeney Todd, clients on the scale of ESPN and Disney and a large majority of Soho based post-production companies.
