Grolsch Idents with BTS
After the success of ‘Strange Fruit’ Edmund Curtis and I have joined forces to create Curtis and Kar. Two DOP’s working on the same set!? Who would have thought it possible. But it works. Collaboration is one of the greatest creative tools. Below is our latest video. With the guys over at Fstoppers holding a [...]
DOP Showreel
Here is a collection of my work shot on both film and HD. Enjoy :)
Cardboard Box Chevy
When director @Mattsnyman says he’s gonna make a car out of cardboard, well…see for yourself. These are photos from the Chevrolet commercial we shot the other weekend. The ad, shot on the Red using Kino Flos, Micro Flos (for the cars interior), tonnes of Dedo lamps and one massive HMI Arrisun light, is currently in post production and [...]
Short film in progress.
Here we go, a teaser trailer for our short film ‘Hood’. The 8-10 minute film is still in post production so here is a glimpse at what you can expect from the full film. Enjoy…
Stills from the Short Film “Hood”
After a manic weekend with no sleep and a lot of coffee we have shot the bulk of what will be the short film “Hood”. Below is the films synopsis: “In a London where the economy is dwindling and the young take on the burden of the older generations mistakes. A new form of political [...]
New Canon 60D – Are we too spoilt?
Why all the whining!? Another camera, more choice and more features, sounds great to me. If you’re use to shooting on a HDV camera, say the Sony Z5, the new ergonomic features will be well received. If you don’t have or ever intend to use an external monitor then the Vari-Angle screen will be a [...]
Sharing, Passing on, Breaking Through the Fourth Wall.
Sharing, passing on, breaking through the fourth wall. These must be some of the greatest things the internet has provided for us image makers. The magic of the movies, the cinematic look that only hollywood cinematographers know how to get. The impression that only the elite can produce stunning footage and photographs. Well if the [...]
“Strange Fruit” The Video
A few weeks back the studio saw its first music video. It was also the first time in 3 years since I had collaborated with fellow DOP Edmund Curtis, see our last short film “Osgood’s” . Shot entirely on a Canon 5D Mark II using both a 50mm 1.2L and 100mm 2.8 lens. Our brief [...]
“Strange Fruit” Music Video
The photography studio saw its first music video last Friday and I learnt that it is possible to decorate the walls with wallpaper using only camera tape! It was also the first time in 3 years since I had collaborated with fellow DOP Edmund Curtis, see our last short film “Osgood’s” . Shot entirely on [...]
Winning Doritos Ad?
Perhaps not, but you never know! With a 5D Mark2 in the bag I had no excuse to not have a go at making an ad for the Doritos King of Ads competition. I headed to the supermarket and filled the trolley with packets of Doritos, dips and a case of beer to entice my [...]
