I stumbled upon this - my interview on BBC 6 music with Andew Collins. My video for Cornershop’s Free Love was their video of the week, so they asked me in for a live interview. I liked it, but I don’t think they’ll be giving me my own slot just yet.
My new music video for the brilliant Scottish band Laki Mera and their new single ‘Fool’. A short schedule, due to an appearance on Dermont O’Leary’s show (saturday 9th July), so the band needed a video to back their single. This is an abstract affair, focusing on the relationship between two opposing elements.

An oldy, but a goodie. A cut out animated music video i did for Paul Steel’s ‘Worst Day’ from his concept album ‘April & I’. Produced by Katie Mackin at Passion Pictures.
I’m a big, big fan of the King. So it was amazing to make this music video for Sony & Elvis Presley Estate’s new Elvis album ‘Viva Elvis’. Suspicious Minds is the title track from the album and one of my favourites. The brief was to make Elvis the new big star who is performing to us now. Footage was chosen from his 68 comeback special because of how great he looked and his brilliant performance. Elvis was mostly kept in silhouette as he didn’t actually sing Suspicious Minds in the special, instead the editor Nick Hristou chose and synced up shots where his body language made him look like he was performing the track. Thanks to Passion Pictures and the fantastic crew for making this happen.

I Miss the Nineties by The Winter Olympics. Directed by Chris Hemming, produced by Passion Pictures and filmed in Martin Bowman’s kitchen.
I Miss The Nineties is the lead track on ‘The Winter Olympics IV’ which is released through Office Rock recordings on March 14 2011. It will be available on CD, download and (Yes!) cassette single.
This is a viral I did for the new documentary Burma VJ. The film is the product of covertly shot footage of the Monk’s peaceful uprising in Sept 2007 and the subsequent military action. The music was kindly written by the excellent band Tunng at Adelphoi Music, edited by Nick Hristou and produced by Kayt Hall at Passion Pictures.
This is a title sequence that I co directed for Jerry Seinfeld’s new creation ‘The Marriage ref’.
Using a script penned by Jerry, myself and Tim Hope brought Jerry, his wife Jessica and host Tom Papa to life in a 2d animated baseball themed analogy (Jerry is a massive fan of the game) to explain its origin and meaning. It was broadcast before the start of NBC’s new flagship show to 14.5 million viewers.
Our influence was the simple and stylish 60s classic TV titles like Bewitched and I dream of Jeannie. The animation, which was done in a combination of Flash and traditional 2d, leaned towards the limited look of those early shows, with fuller animation used in the sporty action sequences.
