Westfield Christmas TV Commercial
Christmas Time! Advert I Camera Operated every shot for on the Steadicam for good friend and top Director Paul Barulis and top DoP Olivier Cariou .

Jamie Oliver’s Food Fight
A commercial I shot pretty entirely on Steadicam for DoP Christopher Sabogal and Director Kieth McCarthy . Jamie Oliver was a lot of fun and I didn’t get hit by any food but nor did I get to eat any. Lots of whip pans that day.

Spector – Never Fade Away

Shooting for Coca Colas campaign for the London Olympics we used the MK-V AR rig for the opening shot of the commercial and regular Steadicam to get lots of very intimate crowd. shots.
