Kuala Lumpur based Canon Body Cameraman Matthew Allard, an award-winning nominee, has 20 years filming experience and news TV editing.

His work has taken him to more than 30 countries, covering everything from major sporting events to major bombings.

He was chosen Twice Network Ten Australia's cameraman of the year as well as being a Walkley Finalist for outstanding camerawork in the 2006-Cronulla Race Riots and Logie Finalist for outstanding news coverage in 2006-Bali 9.

"The biggest problem with most TV cameras in general is their lack of dynamic range (i.e. the ability to show dark and bright images in the same shot) This is where film cameras have a huge advantage. Up until recently most film cameras were very expensive and out of reach of most people. Now there are fantastic new DSLR cameras available from Canon and Nikon that enable you to get a film-like image for a fraction of the price."
