I am a Director and Creative with over 30 years experience in the film industry, predominately across Commercials, Sponsorship and Music Videos. Clients and brands I have written and directed for include Microsoft XBox, Ocado, L'Oreal, Paramount Pictures, Pringles, McDonalds, Vitabiotics, Very.Co.Uk, Reed.Co.Uk, British Gas, Tepilo, Novotel Hotels, Express Newspapers and more, fully overseeing projects from inception to completion across a wide variety of budgets and timeframes.
My directing work has ranged from small tabletop setups to large-scale studio and location scenarios, both in Britain and abroad, and has spanned pure visually orientated sequences to dialogue based pieces.
I am equally at home working with actors, celebrities, non-professionals and animals to get the best possible performance required.
I have a thorough working knowledge of different animation and visual effects techniques, as well as the varied creative and technical aspects of the film production process. I am fully experienced in pitching and pre-visualisation of projects, including storyboarding and animatics, as well as helming all creative aspects of production and post production, from casting and art direction to editing, music supervision, voiceovers and grading.
As Creative and Copywriter I have an extensive writing history across the commercial field, covering everything from full ad campaigns for well known clients to TV sponsorship stings, infomercials and charity VT's. From comedy based scenarios and quirky visual humour to information led projects, my creative approach to each project is adaptable based on the unique challenge that particular project brings.
Whatever the style, am fully committed to working with both clients and production colleagues as part of a team to get the best possible result for each project.
