  Shakespeare On Demand

  Sept 2013 - Nov 2013

  Director, Producer

  After the success of .44 Calibre Shakespeare, I attempted to raise funds for a digital equivalent online. This is the full 20 minute 'docu-pitch' I created for the official campaign, with smaller 2 minute segments also used for more widespread elevator pitch on social media. This project required a script, actors, locations, a teleprompter and copious research to back-up claims. I also got a chance to use some green screen (chromakey) and applied some basic graphics. Filmed on a Blackmagic Production Camera with Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm F/0.95 lens and using RODE Lavalier mics with a ZOOM field recorder. Show less

  The Old Ways

  Nov 2013 - Nov 2013

  Director, Producer

  Visual storytelling of traditional British values and a way of life which is slipping away from the world. Filmed for a private client who was selling her family home in Yorkshire and wanted something to remember it by. I walked around the property with her making notes about her memories of the place, then decided to use sound effects as a queue for the visual to be 'given a voice' without the need for actual people to dilute the overall sense of nostalgia. These sounds were mostly recorded on my ZOOM field recorder in-situ, although some (eg. WW2 battlefield sounds) were sourced from public domain. Filmed on Blackmagic Production and colour graded in Da Vinci Resolve for a cold wintry look to reflect the season. Show less
