  • Ghost Train by Orange Peel (Official Video)
    Ghost Train by Orange Peel (Official Video)My music video for GHOST TRAIN by Orange Peel is live - it's a trippy and colourful journey to the dark side of the fun fair!! � Shot with wide-angle lenses, 'natural' light and a snorricam (a rig that goes on the actor's body), it was a crazy shoot across multiple days so I have to give a massive shout out to the team for making it happen.

  • Video Intro x Snickers
    Video Intro x SnickersScripted comedy is one of our first loves so we decided to make our own spot that emulates a favourite campaign from last year. Snickers has always had a strong sense of identity in their communications - immediate, straight to the point and funny scripts that make you shake your head in disbelief. We made this spec in the same spirit and I hope it puts a smile on your face, whether you were out for a drink with Carol last night or not!
  • New Year, New Reel!

We would love to hear your thoughts so get in touch if you want to talk collaboration or caffeination!

  • Here Comes the Thunder - Iceland World Cup Song
    Here Comes the Thunder - Iceland World Cup SongThe smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup needs the biggest track. Taking inspiration from the Icelandic 'huh' we turned it up to 11 for this stadium rocking anthem. With the music video in the can it was time to get it out there. We got over 110k impressions on Twitter, 50k views on Facebook and to top it off had the track licenced for Fox Sport (USA) World Cup coverage of the Iceland team. Not bad for idea over a post work pint.
