This trailer is now up on the 'films' page, I made it for MB Films and Ian Beck. After turning in all the final shots I was looking forward to seeing the final cut the guys have made, I think its come together nicely after what was a lot of work throughout the early part of the year. I animated, composited all the shots as well designing as the motion graphics, music by Sid Barnhoorn, direction by MB films.

For the last 7 days we've been shooting a lot. The softly softly approach was ditched for the last week as Thomas J Grube flew in from New York to take up one of the major roles in the film. It was a fantastic experience to work with Thomas again. I hadn’t seen him in over 2 years since 'Night Shift', and just like on that shoot he was a pleasure to work with. I felt that everyone raised their game somewhat whilst he was around - our small team really finding it's stride.

It can be tough trying to make a film this way. Well, it is tough! Since my last log entry we've shot another hour or so, spread over 4 evenings in the last 2 weeks. Putting it like that it doesn't seem enough for 2 weeks worth, but trying to shoot dramatic scenes with lots of dialogue, without compromising, just isn't easy to do fast.

I've added some more buttons and pages to the site - take a look! Also, the music video I've been shooting/editing for the last few months is now finished (at last!). I just have to wait for the final mix of the song now and then I'll be able to put the video up on the films page.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to put up the trailer for 'Tom Trueheart' as well. I was asked to do all the motion graphics on this piece, a trailer/advert directed by MB Films (see the links page). So check back soon and hopefully these 2 videos will be online.

Ok so another couple of hours in the can since last time which is good. Continuity with the lead actor Tom is starting to become an issue though, I must say. Why can't it be possible to just freeze peoples hair and stubble from growing?

I'm very pleased to say that after many months of preparing, my feature film 'Heathen' has now shot over 7 hours of footage. I've been working on the project since the start of 2008, filming the first sequences way back in February. Since then we've been chipping away at it very slowly and carefully - the last few weeks have seen a high amount of activity (at last!) So far I've had the pleasure of working with cast members Tom Rudd (lead), John Hoye and Amber Coombs on the project, all of whom turning in great performances.

'NetFriend' (5min Drama/Thriller) is now available to watch on the films page. I finished the film at the end of last year - it was a collaborative effort between myself and composer/sound designer WILX. We made the film to be entered in the DVXUser.com 'All Hallows Fest 2007'. We didn't really have any aspiration of placing highly in the competition itself, more a case of wanting to use its deadline as an incentive to get the film turned around quickly. We were delighted to discover that 'NetFriend' was award a Special Selection award from the festival, coming in joint 4th place.

Welcome to my new website - things are a little different around here now! Plenty of updates still to come, I'll be putting some of my most recent projects online over on the films page very soon. I'm very busy at the moment working on a few things, the first of which to appear on here will most likely be a music video I've been trying to get finished for a while..
