Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Gaming, Consumer Goods, Healthcare, Professional Services, Software & Internet
    paper ICON Fashion - BTS Film

    Commissioned by Pulse Films & Icon Magazine, our goal with this film was to transform a simple photoshoot into its own form of expression, concluding with a film oozing with style and cool. Adding some Black Keys music doesn’t hurt either.

    paper Waiting for a Stranger - Scene

    A scene we filmed in Marylebone with over a 100 people, classic cars and a steadicam where everything had to come together like a beautiful dance.

    paper Nike 'Dance' - SPEC

    This was my exploration of slo-mo and bad-ass sports ads. I’ve been very happy with how this spot has aged like wine over the years, and it shows what you can do with just a few hours, a one man crew and some ingenuity.

    paper HAYMAN'S GIN - TOUR

    Amid opening a new distillery in Londaon, Hayman’s asked me to create multiple videos to populate their brand new website and social media presence. They wanted the viewer to get a feel for the new space and be enticed to trek over for a tour and a tasting. On top of unveiling their distillery and exploring their ingredients and process, we also made cocktail videos to share cool recipes with customers.

    The videos were designed to play silently on the website, so I’ve added the temp tracks that fit the mood.

    paper MTV

    Serving as editor for the final three episodes of this partnership, highlighting different Open University students and their impact in the world. Working directly for Gold Wala, I finished each video for TV and streaming.

    paper NUVARING GLOBAL CAMPAIGN - ANIMATION EXPLAINER

    Global PR Agency, Axon Global, requested an animated video for their client, NuvaRing, to help launch a new product attachment in 2016. As director/producer, I was tasked with developing the look and feel of the video, finding the right animators, making sure the client and agency were well represented, and adding creative input to enhance the final animation.

    paper LIARS & CHEATS - ANIMATION

    A lively and dynamic animation for the opening credits of a feature film. The idea was to create credits akin to The Pink Panther and other 60s inspired films. One of the most fun projects I’ve had!
