Snack Saver

Here’s a selection of videos I made with the talented Sue Hewlet for Duckie’s Copyright Christmas show, based around the fictitious VSS Shopping Channel. All filmed in a day – hectic, but really fun to do.

Pensions Justice

A short promotional video for the TUC I made with Stephanie Power. This was a bit of an experiment, filming all the participants separately and then knitting it together to give a coherent message.

Duckie’s Copyright Christmas

I filmed this short trailer in a day at Duckie’s rehearsal studies in South London. The show ‘Copyright Christmas’ will be on a The Barbican from 10th December. I’m shorting some extra video parts for that this week.

David Shrigley Tattoo Event

I recently filmed Artist David Shrigley for this year’s AND Festival. He spent the day in Utilities shop window drawing on people, who then had the chance to get the artwork made into a permanent tattoo.

Pigs Bladder Football

I’ve been doing some work with Artist, John O’Shea documenting his Pigs Bladder Football project, which featured as part of AND Festival this year. You can find out more about Johns work here

The Liverpool Irish Festival

I’ve been doing a bit of work for the Liverpool Irish Festival, documenting some of the workshops that have been going on before the launch of the Festival. It’s been really interesting looking at the range of work that’s been going on. Here’s a selection. There’s a celebration day at the Bluecoat on 22nd October.

That Honky Tonk Spirit

Here is the full film that I recently completed for the Bluecoat’s HONKY TONK exhibition. We had a month to complete it, so it was a tough call, but with that comes a lot of spirit and energy – it was fun to make. Incidentally, the film also features The Loose Moose String Band who we’ve since commissioned to o the soundtrack for our film ‘Mapping and Memory’. More on that to follow.

Contributors include musicians Billy hatton, hank Walters and Kenny Johnson, DJ and music journalist Spencer Leigh, The Sixteen Tonnes and members of the Leasow Castle Country & Western Club.

BLAZE - 360 Degree Challenge

I’ve been working with some of the young people from BLAZE which is “an ambitious youth-led culture and sport programme for Lancashire, Blackpool and the Fylde Coast that is part of WE PLAY”. The 360 Challenge is a 220 mile bike ride undertaken by some of the young people.
I worked with some of the BLAZE bloggers to report on the final day of their journey and we created these 3 episodes for their blog.

Duckie's Lullaby

I did some documentation for Duckie’s Lullaby show at the Barbican the other week. It was such a magical experience. I wasn’t able to film the show with an audience, just because of the nature of the piece, however, we were able to set up a few key scenes which formed the basis for this video. A really special piece.

Some of the raw footage was featured on Russian TV in the report below. The russian translation makes it even stranger!

Mike Badger & The Shady Trio

Filmed as part of the film ‘That Honky Tonk Spirit’ commissioned for the Bluecoat to support the up and coming Honky Tonk exhibition. This scene didn’t make it into the final edit, but gives a taste of the overall film. It was shot at the Shy Lowen Pony Sanctuary in Nertherton.
