I always thought that a print campaign was going to be a hell of a lot easier than tv – seeing as it’s just 1 frame as opposed to 25 of them per second. It turns out that it’s not – but it was a great learning curve for me and I’ll happily do more ...
Saam Farahmand conceived and directed this web promo for Radio Soulwax – and they used it to kick off sets at festivals throughout the summer of 2011. A visual treat – shot by Franklin Dow, art directed by Georgia Shelton with Jack Kirby building the machine, post produced at House of Curves and graded by ...
I absolutely love this spot directed by Sam Peacocke of Rokkit (London) which kicked off an international online campaign for Nokia, through Fallon, that encompassed both Indonesia and Mexico. A job of 2 halves! In phase 1 (Oct 2011) we created a hero for the films, one “Qwertyman”, who undergoes a bizarre series of challenges ...
A beautifully directed video by Saam Farahmand. Every department pulled out all the stops to create something special for Tom Vek. Tom Lindsay won best editing at 2011 Music Video Awards for his work on this video.
There’s little point posting the 3D version of the ad here as it’s unlikely that you’ll have a pair of 3D glasses handy and if you have they’ll probably be the wrong kind as it’s currently a minefield of different formats – so here’s a 2d version of it. You can imagine how the glass ...
I produced, directed and edited this clip whilst at Atticus Finch. Shot and lit by Franklin Dow. For their last 2 campaigns Reiss have incorporated video into their new collection media
Animation of epic proportions. This 16 minute animation accompanied a track of the same length – Lightning Strike – and formed the encore of Snow Patrol’s 2009 World Tour. Initially projected in front of the band on an enormous parachute/kabuki, this later drops to reveal
I have a soft-spot for this commercial. We made it back in 2008 on a shoestring – just 2 animators working on it – but it really did the business and has been re-run and re-purposed for different regions more times
The messaging is right out front on this one, and the images stark. Shot on Red at Halliford studios, directed by Chris at Atticus Finch. The actors were amazingly happy to sit/lie in various food-substances-made-to-look-like-bodily-fluids for large amounts of time – real troopers. And Georgia Shelton’s art-direction was grimly realistic. There has been plenty of ...
I post-produced this at my first company Blunt Films. It was an exciting step up for us – and an interesting route for the production to work with us and a couple of After Effects machines rather than
