Projects
- FRUITS OF ORCHID - FULHAM TOWN HALLTHE FULHAM TOWN HALLWAY WAS A LAVISH BUILDING WITHOUT USE FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THE INSIDE WASN'T POLISHED, BUT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ART SHOW ‘ART IN THE AGE OF NOW,’ I WAS GRANTED ACCESS TO SHOOT THERE BEFORE IT COULD BE TURNED INTO A FANCY HOTEL. THE SUSTAINABLE CLOTHES OF GLORIA JANE ROYER ARE FEATURED. MAKING BEAUTY FROM THE UNWANTED WAS A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR WHAT BECAME THIS RITUAL FILM. THE SHORT WAS PICKED UP BY THE EXPERIMENTAL ONLINE PUBLICATION, COEVAL.
- JAMMY K - TRAINING DAYI HAD A VISION, OF RIDING OUT THE HARD-HITTING SAMPLE, WITH ABS! THIS SONG IS ABOUT JAMMY BREAKING FREE AND EXPLODING ONTO THE SCENE. SO I DECIDED TO COUPLE THIS AESTHETIC WITH SOME RECREATIONS FROM FIGHT CLUB. THIS OFFERED SOME COMIC RELIEF WHICH COMPLEMENTED JAMMYS PERSONALITY, HILARIOUSLY DIRECT.
- BERG - TAKE OFF YOUR DISGUISETHE SEQUEL OF BERGS TWO-PART EPIC REALLY STEPPED UP A NOTCH. WE TOOK THE SKELETON TEAM OF WHAT IF, CROWD-FUNDED 10K THEN TOOK TO THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS TO FILM ON THE CORROUR ESTATE. TRAINSPOTTING AND SPECTRE HAD ALREADY USED THIS LOCATION, MEANING WE HAD BIG SHOES TO FILL. I WAS LOADED WITH A SCRIPT, AND A CAMPER VAN FULL OF FILM GOODIES. THE HIGHLANDS DID NOT RELENT ITS’ WEATHER EITHER, RESULTING IN LAST-MINUTE REWRITES, SNOWSTORMS, AND HIGH-SPEED WINDS. WE HAD THE LAST LAUGH, WITH THIS ODE TO
- BERG - WHAT IFIMAGINE A MUSIC VIDEO, THAT WORKS AS A TWO-PART FILM. NO NEED TO IMAGINE, SIT BACK, AND PRESS PLAY FOR THE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE OF BERG AND HER STORY OF LOVE AND REGRET. AT THIS TIME I BECAME FIXATED ON ONE DAVID HOCKNEY PAINTING, WORKING AS MY MAIN REFERENCE. THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A RECREATION OF THE PAINTING ‘MY PARENTS’. THE VIDEO INVITES YOU INTO THE FRAME TO EXPLORE THE STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE.
- KEN & JESSE'S BAKE AT HOME RANGEI WAS HIRED TO HELP KEN & JESSE’S EXPAND THEIR BUSINESS AS MY FIRST LOCKDOWN JOB. THE WHOLESALERS LEON AND WHOLEFOODS WERE OF COURSE SHUT DOWN, SO LIKE MANY BUSINESSES THEY WENT ONLINE. THIS RESULTED IN A BAKE-AT-HOME CAMPAIGN. THE INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE WOULD PROVE HOW EASY IT WAS TO MAKE FRESH COOKIES AT HOME. SO I AND MY DOP BUILD A TABLETOP SET AT HOME, TO SHOW JUST ABOUT ANYTHING CAN BE DONE FROM YOUR KITCHEN.
- New Skills AcademyTHE GOAL WAS TO TARGET THE 35 - 44 AGE DEMOGRAPHIC. I STARTED BY CONSULTING MY MUM ND HER FRIENDS LIKE AN UNOFFICIAL FOCUS GROUP. AFTER FINDING SOME OF THE HOBBIES THEY WOULD LOVE TO TURN INTO CAREERS. THEY SAY NEVER WORK WITH KIDS OR DOGS, SO I THOUGHT WHY NOT DO BOTH. THANKFULLY I HAVE ENOUGH YOUNGER COUSINS AND ANIMAL FAMILY MEMBERS THAT I SURVIVED. THROUGH NEW SKILLS ALREADY ESTABLISHED COMPANY MY AD PREMIERED ON SKY TV. IT WAS A PROUD DAY FOR ME, THE CHILD, AND THE DOGS!
