About Jason B.
I am a video journalist, camera operator and editor based out Cape Town, South Africa. I have recently gone freelance after working as a video journalist with the BBC's flagship business programme on the continent, 'Africa Business Report'. During my time with this international broadcaster I was responsible for shooting and editing news pieces for the business programme. In addition to filming and editing the separate elements of the show I was also responsible for shooting links and editing the programme. I also shot and edited stories for daily news coverage, features as well as online specific pieces. I am also a qualified diving instructor and am able to offer underwater filming including gear. I have worked extensively across the continent including Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia, The Gambia, Ethiopia, Madagascar and elsewhere. Working in Africa in often trying conditions I have developed strong resourcefulness and can work effectively and calmly under pressure.
