“I Will Never Be An Astronaut” – Kid Conventional EP Launch

My good pal Parasol, that is Anthony Smith, invited me along to capture the launch of Kid Conventional’s new EP “I Will Never Be An Astronaut”. The fact that a.) the other bands supporting are now a part of my Spotify favourite opens my music palette open to fresh artists. “Lio” & “Mollyanna”. and b.) […]

Kick for Cancer Cup – Interviews

Creating for yourself is a perspective only true to your own, but to do so for the benefit of others, for people less fortunate than yourself makes you responsible for something greater than yourself. Especially in the case of the efforts of Adam, Curtis, Josh, Clic Sargent & the Sheffield United Community being the driving […]

The FINAL day of shooting Part 2 of 2 – Untitled 19th April 2016

Last shooting day 2/2 – Untitled Project TERRIBLE IPHONE FOOTAGE – Sorry about that. I still don’t have a name for the film yet..

The FINAL day of shooting Part 1 of 2 – Untitled 15th April 2016

Next Tuesday comes the end of the two day shoot. SO many days shooting, not sure if the sarcasm came across. I wish I could have spent longer, making a longer film, making something else; as a deadline approaches you can’t get overwhelmed by it, especially after two films getting canned. But you can’t over […]

First day of shooting Part 2 of 2 – A Daisy is just a flower // A fresh start, start – Untitled Project (Continued from A Daisy is just a flower) 6th April 2016

First day of shooting Part 2 of 2 – A Daisy is just a flower // A fresh start, start – Untitled Project (Continued from A Daisy is just a flower) Continuing from the disappointment of one of the cast dropping out, I move forward with a new project. Without a name but with a […]

It happened again, but it’s not my fault – A Daisy is just a flower now is another film discarded, it’s now something else. Let me explain.

Okay so yet again another disappointment. Not my fault okay, it’s not. I’m not going to sugarcoat my feelings, I’m annoyed. Here’s the story. I’m scheduled to film the 6th of April, after weeks of trying to lock down filming dates with my actors. And unfortunately due to unknown reasons (and I understand why someone […]

A 3 day stroll through New York Professional practice – (Evaluation)

The idea behind the video pre-visit was to create something of a walkthrough, not complete, not 100% to being a literal walkthrough; but a candid recording of my personal experience in visual form. The notion that this is what I saw, what I experienced, the quite and sombre nature of a new city, a new […]

First day of shooting Part 1 of 2 – A Daisy is just a flower (2nd April 2016)

The beginning of actual production, not that filming prior to Wednesday wasn’t the start of production. Wednesday will begin the 3/4 day shoot for the film with cast involvement. I’m looking forward to seeing how Ross and Loredana have interpreted the material, what they have created to make the characters their own. It’s a fairly […]

Another lighting + Camera test – A Daisy is just a flower

I’m not making a follow-up to this post about Monday’s lighting + camera test in the Garage location for the film. It’s a little repetitive when the same type of footage and content appears online, when it could be just summed up in one video and any other tests just feel unworthy of documentation a […]

More insert shooting – A Daisy is just a flower (1st April 2016)

Just spent a couple of hours with Josh Ward shooting some inserts for the film. Every time I get a chance I am out filming added footage to use between scenes, in scenes or anything of that nature. Not every blog post will be too interesting, it’s the progression, the time spent on particular aspects; […]
