Case Study - Parthian Climbing
What do you do when a huge filming project starts with nowt but an empty warehouse?You improvise!
The challenge of this shoot was to release exciting teaser videos for a new climbing centre, but without actually having anything that resembled a climbing centre to film for almost two months.
I decided to get creative with the first video when one of my shots was interrupted by a workman walking past in the background. For some reason this gave me the idea of making a horror trailer, so I took all my footage, colour-graded it, added in a night sky, some smoke effects, some creepy sound and music and I never looked back!
The second video in this series has to be my favourite. I used all my wits (and some After Effects) to create a "Portal" effect from the video game of the same name. For a first attempt, I think it went pretty well!
Lockdown added to the challenge of filming promotional material, so just about every video in this series required some creativity! The series ended with a mini documentary which you can watch below:
Working with Honda
I spend the majority of my time as a freelancer working with C3 Studios, and the majority of that time working on projects for Honda UK and Honda Europe. (This came about after the Honda RA-301 project below.)
During my time working with C3 and Honda, I covered all aspects of shoots from pre to post-production. I don't need to tell you what this involved, but I will for SEO purposes. Scripting, planning, camera operation, production, livestream operation, sound design, editing, motion graphics, and asset creation for social media.
I also helped to lead Honda UK's first foray into livestreaming when COVID prevented them from running in-person car launches.
social media & other bits
These are some examples of social media assets I have created over the years, most of which use some After Effects wizardry to make the magic happen.
selected projects
Below are a few other projects from when I first began freelancing. From events, to products, to animated explainer videos, they demonstrate the range of projects which I am comfortable to take on.
