A web-commercial for COTY directed by a talented the Brazilian director now working in London for Crane.TV; Nicolas Viggiani and DoP’d by Ed Mash. I had to do load of tight macro-esqu shots for using the Mk-V AR Rig. These were particularly tricky shots as the foreground objects were so close to the lens that [...]

Marcus Collins “Mercy”
Another little promo I Steadicam Operated for Ben Todd DoP. For Marcus Collins’s “Mercy”. A relatively long day in and around Old Street offset by the fact that its only a stones throw away from where I am based. Marcus Collins – Mercy from Thomas English on Vimeo.
Various Cruelties “The Great Unknown”
Done in one take with Commandante DoP Mattias Nyberg and Director Zac Ella on the side of a really bloody steep hill! Mattias said if I faltered he’d have me shot so we did many many takes backwards on that stupidly steep hill in painful low-mode with an Alexa Plus and Master primes. It hurt [...]

GROUPLOVE “Tongue Tied”
Fun little music video I did for Dop Brian Fawcett. Another long promo day with little time off Steadicam culminating in a load of Don Juan running shots at 11pm. As I remember we shot this on the Sony F3 without an off-camera recorder. Eva Arnold did a fantastic job at pulling focus and managing [...]
MK-V AR rotating head unit for Orbital “Wonky” (Feat. Lady Leasurr)

I have a few ways of spinning the MK-V AR head independently of level for different types of applications enabling the camera to fly anywhere at any angle and that camera can rotate in [...]
Modestep – Show Me A Sign
DoP’d by Rob Shacklady. I operated Steadicam for the opening live action sequence. I am particularly proud of the elevator shot. The elevator never went anywhere; I stood on a table in low-mode and boomed the camera up giving the impression of movement.. Whoo Hooo! In camera camera effects at their best! Well shortly after [...]
Welcome To The Punch
James McAvoy and Mark Strong in an action thriller Directed by Eran Creevy and lensed by Ed Wild. I got to Steadicam and operate B-Camera handheld in what looks like an awesome film in the making.
DJ Shadow “Scale it Back” – One shot promo
Ewan Jones Morris & Casey Raymond’s directed this very sweet one-shot promo for DJ Shadow in Wales. Nicholas Booth DoP’d it and I was lucky to come along and operate. There was a making-off shot as well.
WWF Earth Hour shot on the MK-V AR
This is a very fiddly film we made with Pretzel films (Giles Ripley Dir.). Very confined spaces with a lot to go wrong. We chose to shoot it on the RED MX and the MK-V AR. These kind of macro close up shots are very difficult but it wasn’t too much of a problem. The [...]
