Ewan is a certified GVC Drone Pilot, holding drone licenses in both the UK and the US. He also possesses a valid IVISA, allowing him to work in the United States.

 

An award-winning camera operator and sound recordist, Ewan began his career in sound before expanding into camera work and drone operation—skills he continues to use extensively today. His experience includes tackling some of the most challenging shoots, such as camping in the jungles of Uganda and trekking for hours to capture the intricate dynamics of chimpanzee politics for Netflix’s Chimp Empire. He also spent a year living in a film truck in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, tracking and filming long-lens sequences of Africa’s predators for National Geographic’s Savage Kingdom.

 

Ewan’s passion for adventure extends beyond his professional life. He has completed grueling multi-day events like the Marathon des Sables (257 km) and the Ice Ultra in Sweden’s Arctic Circle (230 km), finishing 9th. These challenges required careful preparation, including carrying all necessary food and equipment.

 

Recently, Ewan has primarily focused on long-term, character-driven projects. These include a Silverback feature for Netflix, a blue-chip series for Wildstar, and various smaller productions for Windfall Films and German television.
