It’s been a while but the new showreel is up.
It’s an odd experience reviewing the footage from the last 5 years ( the last showreel was edited in late 2017) but definite themes and preoccupations are appearing in the work. In fact, it gives me a sense of where the work is heading and what I am drawn to…
Hope you enjoy it.
Focus SB have a long history of making beautifully crafted design & finish solutions for clients working in the luxury build sector.
Their most recent product line - Renaissance - combines a considerable amount of technical engineering along with a design-first solution, answering the needs of clients looking for a premium, screwless electrical faceplate.
I was brought in to work with the marketing team to develop a film showcasing the people and processes that have gone into bringing the product to market. We covered everything off during the course of a two day shoot at their factory. Motion tracked typographic elements were used to bring certain key messages to life.
I love manufacturing… human artistry and ingenuity bringing physical components together to create a unique and functional object.
I've spent the last year filming around East Sussex, talking to businesses about why they have based themselves in this beautiful county. The breadth and depth of businesses operating out of the area was a revelation...who knew that the world's fastest camera - used to capture atomic level explosions - was developed by Photek in Hastings!
It's been a sizeable job - 18 businesses covered, 25 days of filming, 522 emails exchanged, 932 miles travelled, weeks of editing and motion graphics….but its all been very rewarding.
All the district and borough films can be seen here
Super pleased to have been commissioned by Locate East Sussex to create a headline film showing the business opportunities and benefits of moving or setting up a business in East Sussex.
This main film will be accompanied by five additional films covering the districts and boroughs that make up East Sussex - Hastings, Rother, Wealden, Eastboure and Lewes.
Such a diverse range of businesses across an extraordinarily beautiful and varied county. Lets go!
The GLA and the Mayor of London comms team are a fascinating client to work for. Their needs are diverse and varied, with subject matters being topical and thought provoking.
Having spent a lot of the pandemic working with them on public health films, I was asked to examine another unfortunate aspect of the pandemic and lockdown.
The GLA needed two films that looked at what motivates a volunteer to give their time and no small amount of emotional energy to food banks. Regrettably the lockdown has seen a surge in demand for this type of charitable activity, so the demand for volunteers is acute.
Respect to the team at Sufra who go out of their way to make sure their local community are fed.
Locate East Sussex and the Wealden council commissioned writer, broadcaster and filmmaker, Michael Smith, and Ed Bishop from Scissorhands Prods to make a series of films exploring the vineyards of the Sussex Weald. This is the first film of four, and will be serialised on Caught by the River.
Lovely to be making films like this….wandering through the Sussex countryside soothed by the soft autumn light and colours. Michael is great company as well and a first class creative. Hidden Spring vineyard and the walks around it are something special.
Looking forward to picking this series up in 2020 and tasting more of these scrumptious English white wines.
