I've worked with some truly amazing people over this year and cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Experimenting is where the heart is ❤️ especially to an awesome track, ‘Gold’, by @presstomeco

I just love rolling up to a location and having the breathing space to go DIY and create visual carnage with practical, inexpensive tools.

The @lensbabyusa Omini Filters featured heavily in this, creating some insane reflectivity in the lens to give that authentic character to each frame.

We set dressed, lit, and shot this video in just 7 hours for @cobraspell

The whole video is pretty saucy in parts, being called S.E.X 😁 (check it out on YT for extra sauce).

New Spark Work!

Eye of Melian - Blackthorn Winter

Through the rain we made it, with Creamsource Vortex's outside bringing an icy blue light through the slats of the barn, and warm Aputure lights inside for some contrast and key.

⚡️One of the best nights of my life… ⚡️
… with my best friends / crew, the coolest band I’ve worked with, and cast of the world’s greatest rock show!

⚔️ 11 months ago, we shot our 3rd music video for Sabaton through the night at the Natural History Museum.

⚔️ 3 months ago, I was asked to write, cast + direct the opening show for their European tour.

⚔️ 2 months ago, I was also asked to be Show Director - 200 cast / crew, 22 shows, 13 countries.

On Friday night the show came to Manchester for an overwhelming and emotional homecoming (for me!), as my crew experienced what I’ve been working on for the last few months.

Histories most legendary Crew Christmas Party, with the greatest of company.

You all ROCK!! I love you all!! 💜

🔥 A cinematic war trip built from grit, sand and speed.

We filmed like it was a doc, not a music video - tracking a band through the ancient terrain of Cappadocia in a vintage convertible.

@chemiasound New Romance was the final part of a trilogy - and it hit different.

Behind the scenes with our incredible film crew at Warrington & Vale Royal College! Over two action-packed days, we’ve captured stunning drone and camera footage showcasing their amazing facilities and hardworking students. 🎬📸

Ice Cream Headache trailer so proud of this film and being on the shiny list thank you @shinyawards @fitstudiosltd

Today, let's explore the song "Talvez," one of the initial music videos created by the team at @shapeshifterstudiosuk I was delighted with the straightforward lighting arrangements we implemented that day, and I plan to include this project in my portfolio!
