Award-winning music video for Perhaps Contraption

After filming several videos with GoPros attached to instruments for Perhaps Contraption, GoPro got in touch to ask if I had any ideas for 8 GoPro cameras and their new range of instrument mounts.

We made this video under the A12 in East London, and it went on to win a GoPro Edit Award and cash prize (which of course went straight into more camera equipment...) 

Jess Gillam and Zeynep Özsuca recital capture

After filming a showreel for the Jess Gillam Ensemble, Jess asked if I could produce a concert recording for her to be published by the Washington Library of Congress.

Jess and Zeynep Özsuca performed to camera at Saffron Hall.

Dudamel & SBOV at The Southbank Centre

I was the producer for the Southbank Centre’s first live streamed concerts from Royal Festival Hall way back in 2012. 

The two concerts played on a big screen in the hall’s foyer and on the Guardian’s website. 

The director was BAFTA and Emmy award winning Chris Swann, and our crew also produced content to run in the intervals and be published later on. 

String quartet music video

I filmed two pieces in a different styles during one session in Snape Maltings Concert Hall.

The first was a very recent piece about the 2020 Beirut explosion, which I lit in a more dramatic way. And the second was some 19th-century romantic music, lit in a more standard way.
