current projects
‘The Woodcutter’, a four minute short film entered for Straight 8 and screened in London September 2008. The film was made using an experimental process of reduced frame rate HD video that is printed on to A4 paper and then stop frame animated onto Super8mm film using a lightbox and macro lens.
‘London Languages’; four short films for Digital Fluid commissioned by The Old Vic Theatre.
Pre-production: Original treatments devised in collaboration with Jake Strickland and developed from children’s monologues inspired by the content of the play ‘Pygmalion’.
Production: Shot in HD at Chestnut Studios, Kensington.
Post: Lots of compositing actors (talking to camera) into London scenes, such as billboards, bus-stops, a moving train. Colour grading scenes to blend with stock 8mm film footage.
