    paper Singin' In the Rain - Trailer

    The Royal Exchange Theatre were in need of a trailer for their new show. Through Koala, a company I regularly freelance with, I was brought in to direct, light, and shoot it. We filmed high speed in a wet studio and went beyond the client’s expectations.

    paper Chombies! Proof of Concept

    Legendary Special Make Up Effects Artist Shaune Harrison directed this proof of concept for an 80s style splatter movie. I was the DP on the project and designed the lighting, operated A-Cam, edited, and graded the piece. The project required shooting day-for-night, so I built custom LUTs for on-set monitoring.

    paper Bikesafe 25th Anniversary - Promotional

    I was the director and DP on a complicated shoot for Bikesafe. We had A-Cam, B-Cam with gimbal, and 5 x GoPro cameras whilst filming up to a dozen motorcyclists out on the road. Working closely with the Police, we were able to coordinate and execute a filming on busy public roads and capture beautiful, cinematic footage that reinforced the narrative of the piece.

    paper A Woman of Substance - EPK

    I was the DP on an in-depth behind the scenes Electronic Press Kit shoot, directed by Joe Simmons. We spent around 10 days working with the main unit of the Channel 4 production to capture BTS footage and interviews with key cast and crew. I designed and set up lighting for interview shoots with up to 3 cameras.
