Projects
  • The AA 360˚ VR hazard perception project
    The AA 360˚ VR hazard perception projectThis was a series of around 25 x 360˚ videos we created for the AA to be used as part of their 360˚ / VR hazard perception training app. I developed a bespoke, custom-made approach to capture and composit the 360˚ footage to meet the needs of a very specific brief.
  • Hyundai i30 N
    Hyundai i30 NThis was a project to publicise the release of the new Hyundai i30 N hot hatch in conjunction with Haymarket's PistonHeads website. Two films were made - "From Track To Road" (which featured members of the public testing out the i30 N on the picturesque roads of the Brecon Beacons in Wales) and "How It Makes You Feel" (which featured members of the public pushing the car to its limits on the the Anglesey Circuit, a challenging racetrack set on the coast of Anglesey overlooking the Irish Sea).
  • Tarja "Tears In Rain"
    Tarja "Tears In Rain"This was a music video for Tarja Turunen, formerly of the band Nightwish. The director Florian Kaltenbach had come up with a highly original narrative and setting in the rough & tumble world of Roller Derby.

    Uber & Manchester United - "Destination United"Working with agency Copa90 we captured 360° footage around Old Trafford to form part of an immersive VR experience held in the Southern Indian city of Bengaluru in 2018. The idea of the 3 day event was to transport fans to Old Trafford using physical and digital interactive means, since as many as 99% of the world's many Manchester United fans will never get the chance to visit the stadium in person. The 360 footage was projected inside one of Igloo Vision's interactive domes which presents sp
  • South Bank Tower
    South Bank TowerThis was a series of short videos for the South Bank Tower website (www.southbanktower.com) to highlight the luxury amenities, fantastic views and exciting local attractions surrounding the luxury apartments. Aerial cinematography from a helicopter captured the sleek modern design of the building exterior as well as its perfect setting amongst some of London's most iconic landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye. Day-to-night and night-to-day timelapse films were also made from se
  • Barclays Game-changing SmartBusiness Insights with Frank Lampard
    Barclays Game-changing SmartBusiness Insights with Frank LampardThis video demonstrated how the right data insight can not only give you the edge in business, it can also help you win a penalty shoot-out against football legend Frank Lampard! A Barclays branch manager & Sunday league goalie Ali Samad, was chosen to have a penalty shoot out with a mystery footballer, which was revealed to be Frank Lampard - the two were kept apart during filming so the reveal was a genuine surprise. Ali used smart data insights to correctly guess which direction Frank would

  • Uber x Manchester United: Destination United
    Uber x Manchester United: Destination UnitedIn 2018, Uber needed to activate their sponsorship of Manchester United, they approach Copa90, the world's leading football content agency to take the project forward and Destination United was born. Destination United looked to collapse the distance between fans and their passion for Manchester United, we developed a 3 day event that took place in the Southern Indian city of Bengaluru. When there are statistics such as 99% of Manchester United fans will never go to Old Trafford, and that there
