Mopar - 75th

Celebrating 75 years of high-performance sweet cars from Chrysler in my latest 30 second commercial for their Anniversary.

More cool cars with the ace Art Directing of Tim Marrs, who rocked his shizzle on my Audi’s ‘A day in the Life of an Audi Driver’ last year. Using vintage and new footage from Mopar, the mighty Nick Hristou created a fast paced live action edit taking us through the years. Each scene was then transformed by Tim before passing it onto animation and compositing to bring all the textures and depth in the scenes to life.

Laki Mera - Fool

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.

This is a 2.30min commercial I did for Audi and BBH.  Celebrating their amazing dominance of Le Mans.  This year they brought out a new coupe car, called a R18.  It looks amazing, but as well as having a great time featuring the car we also wanted to focus on their driver (Allan McNish) and the incredible physical feat it takes to drive at the top level in this world famous race.  The music is composed by the very talented Chris Reed. This is the ‘left eye’ 2D version of the 3D stereoscopic version we delivered for cinema and TV.
