The Value of Time

29th April 2015

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 […]

Simply B ‘Spring’ Advert

20th April 2015

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 […]

JD Williams ‘Spring’ Advert

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?

Cadbury’s ‘Oat Crunch’ Advert

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.

Rewriting Tips

16th April 2015

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 […]

Landed

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.  […]

Spring Work

30th March 2015

I’ve just finished off a string of fun adverts.  Spooning with the Traktor boys for Cadburys, a stomping large techno viking for the business to business firm Thunderhead and a quirky image led advert for Simply B (directed by the always lovely and superb Karen Lamond).  I’ll post the links to the ads as soon […]

‘Man Up’ Film Coming Soon

The trailer is out for the upcoming Romantic Comedy ‘Man Up’ starring Lake Bell and Simon Pegg.  I choreographed a scene for the film (there are clips of it in the trailer) and it came out brilliant.  This was another choreography job for the Big Talk stable (I previously did Worlds End, Cuban Fury, Shaun […]

Salsa Kung-Fu

13th January 2015

The DVD for the movie ‘Cuban Fury’ came out at the end of the summer.  Here is the dance fight between Chris O’Dowd and Nick Frost which I choreographed.  Brad Allen did the stunts.  Funny stuff.

Updated Site

I’ve put a montage of choreography clips from the movie ‘Walking on Sunshine’ up in my WORK section under NEW STUFF. There were so many numbers in the film, this seemed the best way to show bits of the work on my site.  I’ve also put up my NEW 2015 COMMERCIAL SHOWREEL.  This is the […]
