MUSIC VIDEO - Adian Coker - 'SUICIDE DRIVE'
"‘Suicide Drive’ has to be one of the most forward-thinking videos coming out of the UK at the moment, not an overstatement. For a twenty-something that aspires to Kanye West levels of design, this is an LSD-infused carnival show that showcases again, not only the creative talents of producer Drew Cox but how far Adian is ahead of the game in terms of experimentation and overall quality control in every aspect of his product." - Hunger TV, September 2013
"“Suicide Drive” is the second installment of a three-part collaboration with the ridiculously gifted Drew Cox, aka ‘Slanted Eyes.’ Check out “Cream” released earlier this year." - Highsnobriety, 5 Best Videos of the week, September 2013
Music video for Adian Coker's 'Suicide Drive'.

DOCUMENTARY FILM & PHOTOGRAPHY - 'BUILD YOURSELF'
'BUILD YOURSELF' : Open Source Ecology - Factory E Farm, Missouri, USA. Aug 2012.
I recently spent three weeks in the USA documenting an organization called Open Source Ecology for a film competition set up by Sundance Festival, called Focus Forward. The brief was to create a 3 minute documentary based on a person, idea, place or concept that is changing the world for the future.
OSE was set up by Marcin Jakubowski in Missouri, USA. His ideas, philosophy and hands on building of of the Global Village Construction Set (50 most crucial machines for building a new modern civilization, free of privatized industrial constraints and capitalistic ideals) is aiming to change the way we live, work and communicate in our future world. He has already built and shared the designs for his own life tractor, CEB earth brick press, dimensional saw mill, power cube and trencher. sharing all designs and instructions online for free for anybody anywhere in the world to share and adopt. He was invited by TED talks to speak at their conference on how OSE hope to change not only the face of industry but also the way people live, work and socialize within their own communities.
Building sustainable open source communities, free to share knowledge, ideas, practice, and visions of a future free of the constraints of 'economic scarcity'.
Above is the film we made, which is currently in the semi final stages of the film competition. Please check it out, share and vote for the film on Vimeo.
Along the way I also managed to capture some photography stills which I have included below. many thanks for letting me be apart of this inspiring project.

PHOTOJOURNALISM Flight 1.0 - Tricking
Trickers putting on a display of aerial artistry, defying the laws of gravity and human movement. Basingstoke. 2012
So what is tricking? Tricking is the informal name of a type of acrobatics derived from martial arts that includes techniques found in gymnastics, b-boying, and similar disciplines. Tricking differs from other similar artforms or street sports, in that expression and exploration are more heavily favored. These photos hope to capture the raw beauty and weightlessness experienced within the fast paced movements of the jumps, flips, kicks and twists.

SHORT FILM - 'RIPPLE'
'Ripple' is a short film that draws from the abstract forms and mechanical contortions of the human body, exploring and exploding the intricate and microscopic dynamics behind every day movements and human cycles. The sound track, composed from commissioned field recordings from the shoreline of the wild shingle plains of Dungeness in Kent, provides a natural echo to these self-same notions of cyclic movement tension as the Atlantic Ocean exercises its vast body in a never ending process of transferal and regeneration.
All video and sound are original recordings and have not been modified.
Created for Smoke & Mirrors 48 Hour Film Competition 2010.

COMMERCIAL Shakespear's Globe presents The God of Soho
Big God’s mind is crumbling, Mrs God has lost her looks and they can’t stop arguing. Their daughter, the Goddess of Love has been rejected and banished to earth. Meanwhile - in Essex - glamorous reality TV star Natty has had some fetish items stolen that threaten to expose her relationship with rock star Baz to the media.
Award-winning writer Chris Hannan’s moving, hectic and hilarious new play comes luridly to life on the streets of Soho, in a world of addiction to drugs and handbags, to flash-bulbs and tabloid exposure, and the overwhelming need for attention.
The cast of loveable misfits includes Phil Daniels (Quadrophenia, A Clockwork Orange at the RSC, Eastenders, The Beggar's Opera at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre) playing Big God, Emma Pierson as Natty (Little Dorrit, Hotel Babylon) and Edward Hogg (Bunny and the Bull, White Lightnin' and Woyzeck at The Gate) as Baz.

I also photographed the campaign; photoshoots, workshops, all festivals, behind the scenes and all portariture of Mrs Jones. for a feature by ID Magazine. Photos below.
The 1st promo video was created using a combination of rotoscoping, hand made models, stop frame animation and motion graphics, by the collaborative team of Drew Cox and Jonny Harris to coincide with the launch of the Oxfam DIY Campaign and the opening of the first OXFAM DIY Store in Camden, London. The video was also showcased on the large festival screens throughout the summer festival season, Glastonbury, Leeds, Reading and Bestival, as part of Oxfams campaign to raise awareness of the project.

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY - Wallacedene Informal Housing
Documentary project on some of the people I met in Wallacedean, in Cape Town, South Africa. Drugs, guns and crime are extremely rife in this area and gang mentality plays an important part in how you learn to survive. At whatever cost? But there are many different types of gangs and not all of them are about killing and murder. There are so many stories of people just trying to make a path for themselves and their families out of their hardships.
I met Judah, piercing blue eyes and the locks of an Egyprian Pharoah. He had lived in Wallacedean all his life and had built his own music studio, out of corregated iron and wood, out the back of his friends house. He spoke about a real inspirational sense of music providing the key to escaping his surroundings and taking him to where ever his heart desired. I really respect this mentality and the raw passion that all the people that I met in this area put into their respective crafts and ways of life, whether it be music, cars, drugs, clothes, whatever. These guys wear their hearts on their sleeves...
Its not about where you are born its about how you carry yourself and respect your family.

EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY Furousha - Ghosts of Tokyo
Homeless stories from Tokyo. By Drew Cox. 2009.
The area of Sanya, located in the Taito ward of Tokyo, is home to one of the largest populations of homeless people or 'Furousha' in the city of Tokyo. Throughout Tokyo's history, the area now called Sanya, located in the east of Tokyo was a no go area, and during the Edo period was where prisoners were sent to be executed. The modern Sanya was created after World War II, when Tokyo's homeless were sheltered there in the ever growing number of blue refuge tents. The area is now a eclectic, bustling network of local faces, artists, travelers, hippies and those people that do not want to been found.
Many wondering souls roam the quiet rustic streets. Outcast and neglected from society, many of these individuals have found refuge in many areas around the parks and train stations of the city, but seem primarily to have found solice and some sense of community in this unique oasis of Tokyo. Where many of them, previous day laborers, came to seek work. Government estimates put the total number of people sleeping on the streets at well over 300 people every night, just in the Sanya area.
The one strip of road, running near Minami Senju train station, is completely over run with people sleeping rough, primarily men but also a few women. Often a couple hundred people gather under the shelter of the old arcade shopping strip, overlooked by a constant police presence.
Most of the people I met, were all very friendly, hospitable and accommodating, but had given up an existence within formal society, for whatever their individual reasons. Alcohol abuse is high and mental illness and sickness seem to be a large problem due to their choice of lifestyle.
There are a few organizations providing support, primarily government subsidiaries, NGO's, local christian aids and charities who periodically provide soup kitchens, hand out blankets and clothing and try their best to cope with the ever increasing number of people fleeing to the streets.
The problem is a largely neglected issue in Japan which just seems to be completely overlooked by the government and swept beneath the ever growing blanket of the current recession.

MUSIC VIDEO Master Shortie -' DLAWB'
Music Video for Master Shorties second single release 'DLAWB'. I wanted the video to be extremely high energy and uptempo, combining different methods of lighting, from swinging top lights, dimmers, digital projections, flames, stage spot lights, strobe flashes and prop lighting. We then got a mixture of different dancers and characters and using a combination of stop motion photography and slow motion RED CAM footage, shot a mixture of setups and stages. From Morris Dancers and Belly dancers, to BBoys and Chavs, Skater Kids and Hipsters to Pimps and Midgets, Fire Breathers and Rollerskaters, all in one big warehouse mashup!!

MUSIC VIDEO Ghostdan - 'Badman'
Music video for the unsigned London based artist Ghostdan for the single 'Badman'. Shot on no budget with a camera and a torch in Dalston Market, London. Created using a combination of low level lighting and camera flash lighting, to produce flashes and grain in the image. High speed photography and digital video. The footage was then rotoscoped and completely desaturated. Colourful, digital textures moshes and layers were composited behind the video images to bring back the color in the image and give the effect of computer pixels and digital artifacts.

FASHION FILM Jack Wills - India Summer Catalogue
Fashion film for British lifestyle and fashion brand Jack Wills. The client approached me with the idea of creating a lifestyle promo in the form of a 'university traveller' lifestyle video. I wanted to shoot the films on super 8 to really add to the nastolgic feel of the clips and by shooting hand held I was able to give the film a very simplistic and raw look, that worked with the concept of the brief. The film was shot in Jaipur, India. 2007

VIRAL VIDEO The Affair - Milk with Knives
Video project created for The-Affair. Fashioned on literature, the concept takes inspiration from the classic dystopian novel by Anthony Burgess, 'A Clockwork Orange'. The video is based on the passage from the book, 'Milk with Knives', a conceptualised view into the hedonstic, sexual desires of popular youth culture and the violence that spawns from these nihilistic notions of reality.
Milk is the fluid to freedom, the fuel to the fire.
The knife, the power and unpredictablity of youth.
And television takes its place as popular cultures source of power and direction, its impotent voice drowned by the restlessness of disembodied anger.
