Projects
  • The Star
    The StarScreen content for a large scale video installation placed in Sydney’s iconic entertainment venue, The Star. The 4×6 metre portrait format screen is the feature of the luxurious grand foyer entrance. I directed four individual pieces for specific times of day, the morning, daytime, evening and nighttime. Each piece was a four minute loop that incorporated symbolism and had an energy level associated with these specific times of the day. This is a cut down of the evening to night sequence.
  • Parent Talk
    Parent TalkFor the UK charity Care for the Family's latest DVD Series 'Parent Talk - The Teenage Years' I created a series of 5 films that were to present some of the challenges parents face with their teenagers. Following the real life accounts of 5 parents, each film tells a story that resonates with parents everywhere. Combining shot footage and stop-frame animation, the films bring to life the words of each parent in an unexpected and touching way.
  • Personal Demon
    Personal DemonFor the up and coming Indie band Dear Life, I wanted to create a music video that delved into the fantastical world of the song. Inspired by the classic fairytale, the story follows a princess, who has been cast off as a crow deep in the forest. The spell can only be broken if the princess’ evil alter-ego, the White Queen, releases her. Our personal demons can come in many forms.
