2013 Showreel

It's been a while since I posted on here last, so I'll give you an update as to what I've been up to.

Since the completion of Perfect Blues, I've been busy working on several corporate videos for Parragon Books, continuing to contribute footage to Pixels and working towards several skateboarding videos for companies such as Rock Solid Distribution and A Third Foot. Of course, I'll post these up here as soon as they are completed.

To give you a taster as to what I've been up to this year, check out my brand new showreel.
It contains snippets from projects such as Parragon at Frankfurt Book Fair, Things You Never Knew About Dinosaurs trailer, Perfect Blues, The Wasteland Has Gone To Sh*t, Love Food Press Event and more!

Perfect Blues - A mission to Bath

Last weekend we made the most of the dry weather and headed to Bath, one of the UK's heritage cities.

Being that the city is so old and the spots are few and far between, you have to really think outside of the box when trying to film new and exciting things in Bath.

We took a moment to warm up and solidify our strategy at the Royal Victoria Park. Check the quick clip below to see what Ollie Lock, James Callison, Jess Young and Dave Wallace got up to at the infamous skatepark.

Perfect Blues

Perfect Blues is my next full length UK Skateboarding DVD.

The concept behind it is simple, represent as many UK scenes and skateboarders as possible and to create a video that is raw and full of energy, something that best represents British skateboarding as we all know it.

Here's the first little teaser for the video, featuring the one and only Perfect Blues frontman, Dave Wallace.



Perfect Blues!

Lloyds Big Three Competition 2012

As per usual, the annual "Big Three" competition was an incredible event. There was a very large turnout of spectators, skateboarders, filmers and dogs.

The comp sees the iconic Amphitheatre based on the waterfront of Bristol transformed into a bustling skateboarding mecca that can be compared to havens such as Macba, for example.

Every single person who attended the competition contributed to the infectious electric atmosphere, which fuelled many of the skateboarders to try and go bigger and better than last year.

Below is my edit from the day. Featuring the likes of Ollie Lock, Jess Young, Phil Parker, Pete Adams, Josh Arnott, Shaun Currie, Korahn Gayle and many more.



See you next year!

The Whisper Book Trailer

Earlier on in the year, I was given the task of shooting and editing a trailer for Chrissie Keighery's latest book "Whisper".

The book is being released in the UK through Templar Publishing and will be available in July.

Whisper is a coming-of-age tale, about discovering who you are and where you fit in life. About friendships and first love and, most of all, learning to love the person you are.
