As part of my year 2 submission for Film and Moving Image Production at Norwich University of the Arts we were tasked in creating a fashion video campaign for Matches Fashion consisting of a 16:9 Campaign film and 3 9:16 socials. This video is our campaign film for the brand 'Another Tomorrow' - an eco-conscious womenswear brand. For this film, I did the cinematography, editing, colouring and sound design.

This is a video I was commissioned to make for Andy at Thrive Outdoor - an outdoor adventure place located at the backwaters in Kirby, Essex. Thrive encouraged fun with family and friends with a variety of activities - including getting muddy! I created all the visuals, from animation to titles and delivered a 9:16 deliverable, working closely with the client. I filmed and edit this piece of work.

A video compiled of my family, the landscape and experience of the Peak District National Park. I wanted to create something that feels like a memory - I hope I managed to achieve this. - Sound design was built from the ground up with Foley and some clip audio. - Shot with the Panasonic GH5 at 1080p 10 bit with the Panasonic 25mm f1.7 & Panasonic 14-28mm 3.5-5.6 Lens. - Graded and edited in Davinci Resolve Studio. The absolutely beautiful music which brought this film to life is the superb "Idea 22 (Sped up)" by Gibran Alcocer.

Laika - A Journey into the Stars was an A-level project for my Media Studies Class in 2018 - I was 17 at the time. I used a combination of stop motion and compositing in After Effects to complete this work. I hand made Laika using needle felting around an armature, I created the rocket from screw wall plugs, PVC tubing and aluminum I turned on a lathe and I created the planets by painting polystyrene balls. Although I made this film when I was 17, it remains one of the projects I am most proud of. Model making: Jack McKenna (Laika, spaceship, Planets), Jodie Paterson (Planets) and Lizzie McKenna (Planets) The song used in the video is 'Flight Hymn' by the very talented Ross Bugden!

Completed as part of my year 3 submission for the cinematography specialism. The task here was to create a 1 minute or less short film with the phrase 'Portrait of a Location' being the only prompt. For this task, I recorded some cinematic shots of a farm, I utilised a lack of camera movement and allowed the nature to do all the movement and create a feeling of peace.

Purple Rain tells the story of James and Lewis - two drug dealers. James finds out that Lewis has been taking drugs from stock he was supposed to be selling and that he has been taking 'Purple Rain', a drug so named for its purple crystalline appearance...

This video was created to demonstrate the technique of "Flashback". It features my dog and is a montage of our time together set to the Up! Theme song. Hope you enjoy!

An apocalyptic music video set to the song 'The Butcher' by Klangstof. It follows two characters, Ellie and Jake who fall in love over a radio frequency in the midst of an Alien Parasite apocalypse called 'The Swarm'. They decide to meet up with each other. I came up with the idea to this video completely by myself. I directed, edited and filmed this production.
