About Me
After a little freelancing, I am currently in house at Th2ng, the live action side of Th1ng. I'm working on commercials, promos and virals with our roster of 10 directors. We also work collaboratively with the animation directors at Th1ng which produces some really creative pieces.

After freelancing for Th2ng on a George at Asda commercial with director Nick Meikle, I have decided to stay put! See the projects I have worked on so far on the commercials and promo pages.
May 2010
I've spent a week working with photographer Alison Jackson, helping to produce several stills and a viral based around the run up to the General Election. More of Alison's work here, and the viral on YouTube here... 23,000 views in the first week!
April 2010
I've just worked on a test commercial for the Doritos Collisions competition, with director Luke McCarthy. See the full version here.
We also had our cast and crew screening of Join the Dots at the BFI on the 23rd April and got some great feedback ready for our final edit this month, before we begin the festival circuit.

Working to finish Join the Dots in time for a screening at the BFI in April! And one of our lovely stills has been used on the flyer...
February 2010
So far, lots of planning, info gathering and pimping of the website ready for March 1st... We've also entered the video for White by Charlotte Hatherley into Soho Shorts so fingers crossed for a nice little award in July!

Now that the Christmas break is over, the serious work begins. Editing and post for Join the Dots, getting in a few last commercial projects at Adelphoi Music, and preparing to go freelance in March.
December 2009
The video for White by Charlotte Hatherley gets a mention in Fluxblog!
November 2009
Shooting on location in St Andrews, Scotland begins for Join the Dots, the short film I'm producing with director Jessica Lux. We're hoping to complete the film in spring 2010. Find out more about the film here.
October 2009
Director Jessica Lux and I found out that we have won some funding for our short film, Join the Dots, from the Southern Exposure fund, run in collaboration with Film London. Check out the announcement here.
August 2009
On 1st August Elliot Manches directed the shoot for Charlotte Hatherley's latest promo for new single 'Alexander'. The sun was shining in Epping Forest, making the Super 8 and 16mm visuals look even sweeter. Click the image for the finished promo.
July 2009
Collaborating with director Jessica Lux, I produced another messy promo, this time for Hot Chocolate Boy - the new single from Northern Irish duo Boy of Girl. It involved a lot of icing sugar, and a hefty cleaning bill from the studio afterwards! Check out the video here.
June 2009
Adelphoi Music's annual field trip to Cannes, for canapées, cocktails and carnage, was a total success. Much fun was had by all, especially after a few glasses of rosé and one of the world's biggest langoustine from the BBQ! See some pictures on the Adelphoi Music facebook page. I even managed to get a mention in Campaign...
May 2009
After completing 12 weeks of Monday night classes, a coach ride to Uxbridge, an exam, and a week at Academy Films working on a McDonalds commercial, I have finished the APA Masterclass, scoring an Outstanding grade, complete with laminated certificate!
March 2009
Working with Elliot Manches, I co-produced a video for the first single from Charlotte Hatherley's New Worlds album. Using the title, Elliot devised a treatment which involved the artist starting the video covered in paint, and ending it nice and clean. Cue Charlotte learning the song backwards, an some very nervous paint throwing - we only had 2 chances to get it right. Luckily, using the RED camera meant we could see where we hadn't got it quite right the first time, and we nailed it on the second take. Check out the full video here.
