After the big week shooting with Thomas last month, we eased back into filming after a short break with a return visit to our forest location to finish what we started there the previous week. Tom and Amber had a lot of dialogue which makes up what is a very intense scene. Thankfully the elements stayed on our side and the rain held off. After this we've been making our way through what is left of the script, so far with everything going to plan. We're really back in full swing this week, shooting every single day, it's been fantastic.

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.

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..
