I’m passionate about creating visual content, and teaching others how to do the same. I like to think of myself as a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to visual storytelling: I shoot and edit video, take photos, write content, voice scripts, pursue journalism, create branded marketing and fly drones. My specialty is creating solo video content in remote and challenging environments, and I travel with a kit of light-weight and compact camera equipment specifically for this purpose. I have solo video journalism experience reporting in Australia, Brazil, Japan and Nepal (ABC News Australia, Bloomberg Quicktake), and solo videography/video editing experience in Australia, Cambodia, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam (UN Environment, UN ESCAP, UN Women, Engineers Without Borders, Unbound Education and more). I’m also an award-winning educational designer and teacher, and former journalism lecturer at Monash University.

Combining music and image has always been my dream. I'm extremely fortunate that my dream is now an everyday reality and I look forward to each day with a sense of passion and purpose in what I do.I get to work on really interesting, groundbreaking stories, wonderful images and to portray a huge emotional palette through music. My history has been diverse - spanning twenty five years plus as a musician and composer, with over twelve albums under my belt, numerous projects as composer, musical director, sound designer and performer in arts as diverse as theatre, dance, live music, circus, film and television...Starting out as a musician at the age of four, I've learned to play a variety of musical instruments - keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, lap steel guitar, flute, recorder, didgeridoo, African and Egyptian percussion. I've also had the opportunity to learn the ancient and complex art of classical Indian vocals, having studied under the tutelage of Neeta Bhattacharyya and Maestro Sarangan Sriranganathan. I've also completed a Masters Degree in Screen Music at the Australian Film, TV and Radio School - a great time of learning and solidifying my craft.I am now fortunate enough to teach 'World Music for the Screen' and 'Music for Documentary' at AFTRS to emerging screen composers.

I started shooting my own documentaries, for which I spent time in crack-dens in favellas in Brazil, and on the Maidan in the Ukraine during the revolution. I had no idea what I was doing from an industry standpoint, but boundless enthusiasm. I used these films to get an internship at VICE in Berlin, where I learned about professional production and work-flows. I worked my way up to producing, directing and filming short-form content for VICE News and branded content, including the production of a series of seven branded documentaries for Jack Daniels. I began working as a camera-assistant for an award winning DP in Berlin named Oliver Hans-Wolf, often working his b-cam for television talk-shows and documentaries. Three years ago I moved to Townsville in Australia with my partner. I now assist productions coming from outside, field producing for feature documentaries and television, and filming as a DP.

My name is Jack Swart and I have worked with cast and crew sizes as large as 1500 people and as small as one. More often than not, however, I find myself alone, researching, shooting, interviewing and doing the edit on daVinci Resolve. I find cutting my own work makes me a better shooter. Was inspired by 6 months in Africa on Mad Max Fury Road and 12 months around Australia shooting travel docos. I have the skill set and experience you are looking for. I bring to the table 20+ years behind the camera, and just about as long editing what I have shot. I am super quick on daVinci Resolve Studio 18 for editing, motion graphics and colour grading. I have three Super 35mm 4K digital cinematography Cine Alta Sony PMW F55 cameras, Zeiss lenses, sound, lights and daVinci Resolve edit and grading suite.
