About janellemeager
In May 2013 I began a 12 month volunteer 'opportunity of a life time experience,' producing documentaries and content for NGO’s in culturally vibrant Ghana.
I set off on my journey with my H4N audio recorder and boom mic to work alongside Ghanian radio stations to develop agricultural programs to help enhance food security in Africa. The experience was hands on creating content from research based field trips; interviewing farmers about their enhanced crop yields, and terrible experiences selling their produce for a fair market price.
After 12 months volunteering in Ghana, I skipped my flight back to Australia, had a Cannon 6D DSLR camera sent over and I began freelancing. I co- shot a feature length documentary focused on artisanal small-scale mining, which showed at AFRIFF (African International Film Festival), and worked with a journalist from Al Jazeera and Australian TV Network SBS, shooting footage and interviews for their National Dateline Program; and assisted with content for British Airways' in flight movie promoting Ghana.
In Nigeria I was sound recordist and post production editor on TV series Christmas with the Stars and Co- Director for Nigerian singer/songwriter Rayce music video.
Currently I am Co- Producing an exciting new TV series set to film in Nigeria and London later this year.
