Meet Christian McGuinness, class of 2009.
Christian was set on a photography career. He was shooting live music, running his own business specialising in portraits, and working on regular freelance projects. At 26 he decided he wanted to move into video, so he bit the bullet and went to film school. Three years ago, Christian landed a role at Sydney marketing agency Skyline Creative. Now, he has worked his way up to head of video.
On any given day, Christian is travelling to shoots, filming multi-million dollar properties and doing high-end marketing for property listings. As head of video he works with the editors and freelance shooters to update processes and work through being more efficient. On a less common day, he gets to work on some bigger projects taking on creative control for projects with international clients, including hanging out of a helicopter filming the Sydney skyline. He has worked on projects for Netflix as well as working on films, one which recently won a short film award.
Christian has been married for nearly a year to his partner Kate. They still call the Central Coast home and couldn't be happier.
