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!

Illuminate Bath 2012 - Official Promo

During the very cold start of 2012, I was part of the Production and Post-production team on the Illuminate Bath 2012 crew.

I took my signature roles of working in the Camera Operator team, and working on the official promotional edit for the event. If you haven't seen this already, you can check it below.

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.
