Video

The above is my general showreel, covering documentary, drama and music videos.

I video events such as the Jane Austen Festival; classical/jazz concerts such as those organised by Bozarts at St George’s in Bristol or the intimate gigs performed by the Bookshop Band at Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights in Bath; documentary projects such as a “Day in the Life” DVD for singer/songwriter Jane Taylor. My tools and expertise lend themselves best to narrative video – I have written stage and screen plays, and I work with several local theatre and film groups.

For music videos I work with musicians to develop an idea which I then direct, light, film and edit. Final output can be at any resolution upto 1080p, usually for the web but I can also create DVD or Blu-ray discs.

I’m also shooting a film I wrote, called “MindTwist”, a sci-fi thriller set in parallel worlds (ours and one other). We’re filming on various locations in Bath and Bristol. You can follow the project on our Facebook page.
