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.

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

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!!

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.
