Sweetheart - a short film

Sweetheart is the new short film that I shot, edited and colour graded along with my good friend Michael Heffernan who did a great job of the writing and directing. Sweetheart tells the story of a woman who has chosen a path in life that frequently leads to mental torment and physical damage. In her most difficult moments she depends on a man who obsessively pushes her to follow his demands.

This film is a collaboration with a team of very talented people.
Jacquline Freeman (represented by MOT models) in the lead role playing Sweetheart in her debut acting role. Cherrelle Brown's role is pivotal in the final scenes and Laura Marsh did a wonderful job with grooming and make-up / special effects.

A special thanks to "I am Harlequin" for the fantastic sound track. iamharlequin.com/ , a special thanks also to Don and Tom for all their hard work assisting.

Music Video

I was asked to shoot and edit the new Mic Righteous / Steffi Music Video called "Find Me" which was released last night on SBTV, it's been less than 24 hours and the video has already had 7,568. hits.

Mic Righteous is a Hot New Rapper en route to the big time and Steffi is a brand new Online music based drama series with loads of great music.

Mic's last track went to No.1 in the Hip Hop charts and No.11 in the album charts only one hour after their release, here's hoping this new tune "Find Me" and the video does as well.

I was Director of Photography, plus I edited and graded the video. I hope you like it.

Slaughter And May

I was asked to shoot this beautiful recruitment brochure for Slaughter and May with Rose Design.

We set out to capture something a bit different for a corporate recruitment brochure, something a bit more relaxed, edgy and a bit more Sunday Supplement than corporate brochure.

Slaughter and May wanted to shoot their brochure in a similar way to my online folio / website lay out and to my surprise, it wasn't my corporate folio they were talking about, they wanted me to shoot this like my editorial portraits.

The results are nice and relaxed with loads of personality.

Behind the scenes from my new short movie "Sweetheart"

Yesterday, I finished editing and grading a short film that I shot and Directed with a good friend of mine Michael Heffernan. It's called "Sweetheart" The film has a dark theme with an ending that will hopefully surprise.

We're in the middle of looking for some music for Sweetheart at the moment and will then put the film live on vimeo ( if anyone is interested in doing the music for us please get in touch ).

In the meantime, here's some stills / behind the scenes from the movie and then below the stills are some screen grabs from the actual movie.
