Rachael has worked with me as a camera operator throughout a recent documentary shoot. Knowing her skill well and able to expand on what was required of her, Rachael was able to enhance the shoot with her professionalism and motivation. She often went out of her way to develop the material.
Responsible and reliable, she took direction well. She was able to take on new ideas and adapt her skill to suit our needs. Her positive disposition made it easy for her to build repour with the talent during interviews.
She seizes opportunities and is able to find solutions when needed.
Dependable, practised and passionate, Rachael brings a lot to a team and I would not hesitate to work with her again.

I am writing in recommendation of Rachael Patching
I have had the pleasure of working with Rachael professionally on more than one occasion, and found her to be very resourceful and able to adapt to a change with ease.
As producer of a record label I have worked with a multitude of professionals in varying areas and can vouch for the positive responses we get when she is on board.
Rachael has proved herself time and time again. She is willing to put in the hard yards to achieve the results we need. She can think on her feet, following direction well and is able to bring creative flair to the table every time.
Rachael offers a lot to the industry and I look forward to calling on her for future projects.

Kia Ora,
I write in support of Rachael Patching, whom I have known and worked with for the last five years.
Rachael is an amazingly positive and enthusiastic person who shows a great deal of resourcefulness and passion in everything she does. In my dealings with her she has always shown honesty, imitative and organization.
Throughout the time I have known her, we have worked together on several projects, mostly in video editing and video effect production capacities. On these occasions Rachael proved to be an effective worker who is able to take direction and work independently. Often she was required to adapt to new software on the job and in these situations showed herself to be a fast learner who can work out solutions to problems and direct her own learning.
Personally and professionally. I have no reservations in recommending Rachael as a conscientious and capable worker.
If you have any queries, you are welcome to contact me via the contact details above.
Regards,

I have known Rachael Patching for the last 4 years and I have worked on projects with her on numerous occasions during this time. I have always been impressed with her enthusiasm, professionalism and creative ability.
Rachael’s commitment to her work has always made working with her a positive and rewarding experience. She learns quickly, has a strong sense of integrity and is passionate about her work.
Recently Rachael filmed an important live performance for me, and as always I felt assured and relieved that the job was in good hands. As with all of her work, she delivered an excellent result.
Rachael’s eye for detail and skill in both editing and camera work enable her to work effectively and professionally in any multi media environment. I would whole-heartedly recommend Rachael as an employee or professional partner.
