Mayoorathan Sukumar

I'm Mayoo, a hybrid video content producer, editor and content strategist based in South London.

My path into this industry wasn't typical. It started in professional E-Sports. Years before I even touched a camera, I was creating long and short form content under the alias 'relent', working with UK, Canadian and US esports organisations and later a professional editing agency. I was producing content for players from teams like Cloud9, FaZe and NaVi. That work generated over 4 million views, and taught me everything I knew about pace, retention and platform strategy.

At a certain point, I realised that I wanted to understand cameras, story and production from the ground up, not just editing footage that I've been given to work with. So I made the decision to pursue a BA in Media Production at Brighton, and hence formalising a passion I'd already been living in practice. It meant picking up a camera for the first time, and learning the fundamentals properly - cinematography, sound, colour theory, and narrative structure, as well as post production techniques further to the editing instincts I already had. Alongside my studies, I took on social media management for two of Brighton and Sussex universities' cultural societies. My work at university led to my final year project, a documentary where I discuss cars, identity and driving culture.

I'm now looking for a media production role, ideally in video content production - my scope biases towards automotive and sports content but I'm also open to events media or something similar.
