I read an interesting article in the New Yorker by Maria Konnikova about sleep. Among other things, it explores the effects of sleep deprivation on productivity. What’s interesting to me, is how a small sleep deficit (we’re talking six hours a night) led to serious cognitive and physical impairments; equivalent to a blood alcohol level […]

This is a curious spot I did for the B2B company Thunderhead. It certainly stands out and has hopefully generated buzz for them.
I recently completed a new painting. Again working with acrylic on water colour paper using layers of very thin washes. I was mainly interested in experimenting with transparent fabric (hence the tutu around her neck) and skin. I think the washes were too thin in my previous painting. This time I used a water dropper […]

Check out the very sweet, sparkling and super funny film ‘Man Up’, opening today. I choreographed a nice little dance scene on Lake Bell and Simon Pegg for it. Both are brilliant in the film. If you are feeling a little morose, this is the antidote!

Freelancers are aware of the challenges they face in managing time, and most of us acknowledge that time is a valuable resource. Despite this, time is often squandered. Perhaps this is because time feels amorphous and can be difficult to quantify. I have been both freelance and a company director for the majority of my […]

Another advert with the director Karen Lamond. We shot this in three second bursts. The girls needed to be in sync at times hence the need for a choreographer. At the same time, they needed to look improvised and playful. I think we achieved this. Anyway, it’s a quirky little spot and the girls look […]
Another lovely little spot for JD Williams. I did this job with the fantastic director Karen Lamond. We shot this in Cape Town, on a beautiful summers day, in an elegantly art-directed garden. What’s not to love?
Here’s an advert I choreographed featuring spooning. A first for me and great fun to produce. The 30sec spot works, but hopefully there will be a longer version as there were a few fantastic bits that were cut.

I just completed another draft of a feature script. I really like doing multiple drafts with reading space in between, because each new version is usually an improvement on the last. I find the process similar to the way I paint (in multiple thin washes). It takes a while to build up the color and […]
I recently completed a new painting. Again, working with acrylic on heavy hot press water colour paper. I’m relatively pleased with the result, especially the skin, although the scan did not pick up the subtle colours. The original looks best! Incidentally, if you like any of the work on the site, prints may be available. […]
