What will Islington be like in the future? That was the question behind this film for Islington Council. The brief required me to produce a film that was quick, snappy and upbeat and that gave a broad overview of what people in the borough of Islington thought it would be like in 10 years time.

The film had to be shot quickly and I put together a very portable rig for the shoot that enabled us to travel as a 2 man team across the borough. I shot on a digital SLR which is great in low light situations and keeps the whole kit very compact.

Technical Info:

The film was shot entirely on the Canon 7D digital SLR using a Marshall monitor to preview the images. The lens I predominantly used on this was a Zeiss 50mm 1.7 which was extremely useful for the lowlight situations. The sound was recorded on a Zoom H4N recorder and synced later in Edius 5.

This film forms part of an interactive tour of the Energie gym, Forest Hill. The brief was to create an interactive tour of the gym that would highlight all of the facilities available to members. The video will be included in an interactive player that allows visitors to the website to jump from area to area or just watch the film straight through.

About this video:

Salsa Kingdom takes place in Southport and features the absolute best Salsa dancers from around the world and some of the world’s finest Salsa Groups. Over the course of three days there are workshops, parades, parties, live music and a show – The Magic of Salsa Kingdom.

I was commissioned to make the film to promote the next years event. The brief for the film was to highlight all of the different aspects of the festival and to maintain a slick and snappy look and feel throughout.

The film required a mixture of interviews and footage of all of the varied events that take place over the course of the festival weekend. Some of the technical challenges included shooting in very low light, shooting alive stage performance from different angles and delivering a lot of important information whilst keeping the film nice and pacey.

The final film was delivered for the web and appears on the company’s website as well as their Facebook page and various other social media channels.

Technical Info:

This film was shot entirely with the Panasonic GH1 Digital stills camera. It was shot in 720/50p and edited in Edius 5. I used a mixture of the stock lens as well as a selection of Canon FD primes, including 28mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4, 100mm 2.8.

This film highlights one balmy sunny day at the Thames Barrier Park in London.

Trebarwith Strand is a long stretch of sandy beach situated in North Cornwall. At high tide the beach is completely covered for several hours, but at low tide the beach stretches out for over a mile. It’s a highly popular tourist destination.

The purpose of this film was to highlight the stunning scenery of the beach and huge rocky cliffs but also to show the appeal of the Strand to families, swimmers and surfers alike.
