Here is a short film which we did for Liverpool John Moores University’ Open Labs. The Hacks Meet Hackers event took place in July 2010 in Liverpool. Take a look at Open Labs posting to see how successful the day went.

John Moores Art and Design Academy, the Hatch and the Sixth Form Art Students of Holly Lodge School in Liverpool worked together to create a modern day shadow puppet show about the issues of body image and peer pressure for young girls. The piece follows the demise of a happy princess who, with the help of her fairy godmother and magic mirror, changes her appearance drastically to appeal to the ‘in’ crowd. The piece was devised, constructed and performed within two days and will be included in ,Four Corners’; a wider Health and Wellbeing project across Liverpool in July.

The season finale for the 6th series of House was shot entirely on the Canon DSLR EOS camera.

Here are a couple of films I did for a client called Trafalgar Apartments. I did the shoot in about four hours which wasn’t bad going since I took extra lights down to try and bring out some extra details in the apartments. Both films were shot on a Sony HDV Z1 and were edited in Final Cut Pro and graded in Color. I used a lightweight Ianaro Reporter Lighting Kit and a Vinten Pro 6 tripod.

Here are some of the photos from last weekends Signal Films ‘Choose Your Own Ending’ film shoot. The shoot was done all in a day which was a mammoth task in itself. It went very well and that is testimony to all the pre-production that the Filmmakers had done. There were a few hiccups along the way but that is always the case. Everyone had a brilliant time and a lot of fun….hopefully picking up a few techniques along the way. The edit was done on the sunday with each of the Filmmakers editing the scene that they had directed the previous day. I will post the final film in the next couple of days.

Thanks to Signal Films, Cookie Monster Alex, the Filmmakers and actors for a brilliant few days in the Lakes.

I Am just in the process of updating the Blog with some of the most exciting projects I have worked on recently. We were asked by the lovely guys at Thoughtful to get involved with a very exciting project they were doing for the Liverpool Tate. The project involved using  Smartcode technology and enabled the viewer to engage with rich media content using QR (Quick Response Codes). We were asked to film a short documentary about the Tate Liverpool’s summer exhibition Colour Chart: Reinventing Colour, 1950 to Today which was then edited down to a 1 minute film.

“The idea behind the campaign is the belief that a modern gallery can do more than just hang pictures on walls and throw open their doors. Audiences can be engaged with the artworks in new and exciting ways.” (Quoted from Thoughtful‘s blog)

Viewers could access the film by using a QR code reader which read the smartcode made up of colour chart swatches and streamed the Rich media content from an online server. I-phone users can download the Neo Reader application or smart phone users can go to www.i-nigma.mobi and download the smartcode reader. Click here to read Thoughtful‘s full Blog entry.

Great little film showing how much Greenscreen filming there is in everyday film that we watch.

Here is a brilliant link to the 50 Best Blogs for Moviemaking….Hope to be in there one day…yeh right!

Here is the final edit of our short film Vacuum. I am still in the process of grading it but the edit has finally been locked down and we are currently entering it on the festival circuit. Here is the synopsis;

A psychological social horror about a young couple expecting their first child who move into a new home only to find themselves tormented by the strange behaviour of their clandestine next door neighbour.
